Our expertise lies in inshore fishing using live bait, and we favor light tackle to truly enhance the excitement of every catch. We are committed to practicing catch and release for certain species like Roosterfish to support conservation efforts. Our philosophy is “Fishing all year round.” The experience exceeded my expectations and was incredibly smooth. I wholeheartedly recommend Captain Experiences. It was a blast! Everyone had a great time, making for wonderful family memories.

Join Captain Riccardo for an exhilarating inshore fishing experience off the coast of Quepos, Costa Rica, where breathtaking landscapes meet exceptional angling opportunities. Whether you’re new to fishing or an experienced angler, Captain Riccardo offers engaging, hands-on excursions targeting fierce, hard-fighting species close to shore.
These trips range from 4 to 8 hours, exploring the abundant fishing grounds around rocky shorelines, reefs, and river mouths. You’ll use live bait caught during your outing, along with lures and light tackle methods such as trolling, spinning, jigging, and popping. Depending on the season, you can expect to pursue exciting catches like Roosterfish, Snapper, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Tripletail, Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, and more.
Your fishing platform is a comfortable 27-foot Costa Boat, accommodating up to 4 anglers. The boat is fully equipped with a live bait well, GPS, fishfinder, outriggers, ice chest, and even a portable toilet within the center console—perfectly designed for exploring the Pacific coastline in both comfort and style.
Each trip includes:
Roosterfish must be released after capture, but all other legal fish are yours to keep, and the crew will prepare them for you at day’s end. If you catch a trophy Roosterfish, Captain Riccardo can arrange for a custom fiberglass replica to preserve your unforgettable catch.
Trips depart from Marina Pez Vela in Quepos, with morning and afternoon options available for half-day, three-quarter day, and full-day adventures. All you need to bring is your Costa Rica fishing license (available at the marina for $17 per person), sun protection, and any personal items you prefer on board.
This charter welcomes families and children, offering an interactive, educational, and thrilling day on the water suitable for all ages. Whether targeting Roosterfish along rocky outcrops or hunting Snapper amid sardine schools, Captain Riccardo is committed to helping you fish like a local and create lasting memories.
