The Experience

World-Class Sport Fishing Off the Pacific Coast

The waters off Quepos and Manuel Antonio are among the most productive fishing grounds in the world. The convergence of the warm Pacific current and the nutrient-rich upwellings off the Central Pacific coast creates a marine ecosystem that supports extraordinary concentrations of billfish, pelagics, and inshore game fish year-round.

Our charters are operated by Costa Rica Fishing Company — the premier sport fishing operator in Manuel Antonio, with over 15 years running the waters out of Marina Pez Vela.
