Costa Rica stands as a world-renowned destination for premier billfishing, with the charming coastal town of Quepos serving as the heart of this legendary fishery. Located next to Manuel Antonio National Park, Quepos attracts anglers globally eager to target every variety of Marlin, alongside Sailfish, Dorado (Mahi Mahi), and Yellowfin Tuna. For those passionate about big game fishing, there is no superior location.
The Pacific Ocean’s rich currents sweep alongside Costa Rica’s coast, creating what many consider the finest Sailfishing grounds anywhere. Captain Tyler is an expert guide who knows exactly where to find these spectacular fish, ensuring you have the best shot at landing a personal record catch.
Using a broad array of fishing techniques, Captain Tyler will have you trolling extensively to seek out aggressive species like Marlin and Sailfish. Once hooked, brace yourself to battle these powerful fighters with heavy-duty rods and robust tackle.
Your adventure begins with a departure from the dock between 6:00 and 10:00 PM, followed by an overnight cruise to prime fishing spots. Rise early the next morning to fish intensively until sunset, then head back to shore. By breakfast the following day, you’ll be docked in Quepos, sharing unforgettable stories, capturing remarkable photos, and quite possibly enjoying a fresh catch.
