Half-Day Inshore
Best for families, kids and first-timers
The shortest way onto the water: a private boat working the rocky points, islands and river mouths near Manuel Antonio, close enough to shore that the ride is short and the pace stays relaxed. Leave early in the morning or after lunch and keep the rest of the day free.

- 7:00 AM or 1:00 PM
- Group
- Up to 6 anglers
- Boat

3/4-Day Offshore
