Vivi l'emozione della pesca nel Pacifico centrale con Hidalgo Sportfishing, guidato dal Capitano José, un pescatore locale esperto con anni di esperienza nella navigazione delle ricche acque di Quepos.

Che tu stia inseguendo un Roosterfish trofeo in costiera o che ti stia dirigendo in altura alla ricerca di Pesce vela, Lampuga (Mahi Mahi) o Marlin, questa uscita di pesca offre un'avventura di pesca dinamica e autentica. A seconda della stagione, potresti anche catturare Red snapper, Cernia, Tonno, Barracuda, Ricciola, o persino provare la pesca in apnea.

Pescherai a bordo di una barca da baia di 26 piedi, perfetta per un massimo di 5 ospiti, alimentata da un affidabile motore fuoribordo e attrezzata con equipaggiamento di qualità, esche vive e tutta l'attrezzatura di cui hai bisogno. Avrai anche il supporto di un secondo che ti assisterà in tutto, dall'innesco delle esche allo sbarco della tua cattura.

Il tuo capitano fornisce snack, frutta fresca, bevande/acqua in bottiglia, birre fredde e l'opzione di pulire il tuo pescato.

🎣 Informazioni importanti:
Come richiesto dalla legge costaricana, tutti i partecipanti alla pesca sportiva devono acquistare una licenza di pesca personale prima della partenza. È un passaggio rapido e semplice per garantire che le nostre risorse ittiche rimangano sane per le generazioni future.

Che tu sia un principiante o un pescatore appassionato, adatteremo l'uscita di pesca alla tua esperienza per assicurarci che il tuo tempo in acqua sia indimenticabile.

10 STARS!

5 Hour — Offshore on April 12, 2026 • 2 adults

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captain Jose and mate Greiban are the real deal. My wife and I booked Hidalgo Sportfishing specifically to chase sailfish, and they delivered in a big way — we landed 4! These two are as friendly, knowledgeable, and professional as it gets. You can tell immediately that they know these waters inside and out. Don’t let the boat’s appearance fool you compared to some of the flashier charters in the area — it has everything you need and then some. But honestly, the boat is secondary. The captain and mate are the difference-maker, and I believe they could out-fish anyone operating in the area. My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If we’re ever back in the area, we’re not even bothering to look at other charters. Hidalgo Sportfishing is our first and only call. Highly recommend without hesitation.

epic trip - please read

6 Hour — Inshore on April 3, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

captain and first mate were top notch. Ive taken guided trips in Florida, Texas, Alaska, California, and Boston — and i put him at the top. why? hes relaxed, flexible, hard working, good with kids, and wants to put you on fish. he allowed me to bring my own tackle, and i appreciated his flexibility in tailoring the trip exactly as i requested. we had 4 kids along, and we caught so many fish they got tired of reeling them in. The best part of the day for me personally was taking a 118” sailfish with a travel rod and a 3500 reel. it was a spectacular day we will never forget. i cannot thank Captain enough. he is truly special at what he does and truly cares about your experience on the water.

Bucket List Achievement

Full-Day Offshore Fishing (8hr) on March 27, 2026 • 1 adult

This was easily one of the best fishing experiences I’ve ever had. The two-man crew was outstanding — knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. They knew exactly where to go, how to read the water, and worked incredibly well together. Their expertise showed immediately when we started hooking fish. Within a few hours, I had crossed two major bucket-list species off my list: two beautiful sailfish and over a dozen mahi mahi. The sailfish fights were spectacular — exactly what I’d hoped for. The crew’s coaching and quick action on the boat made sure I landed both of them safely. The mahi mahi bite was nonstop at times, and the colors on these fish are just insane in person. We had constant action, laughs, and perfect weather to top it all off. Everything was top-notch: the boat was clean and well-equipped, the tackle was high-quality, and the crew made sure I felt safe and comfortable the entire day. They were prepared for some epic photos for me too. If you’re thinking about going fishing in Costa Rica, book this charter without hesitation. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking to check off bucket-list species, this crew will deliver an amazing day on the water. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Costa Rica! Highly recommended. Thank you, you guys made it a trip I’ll remember forever!

Amazing trip!!!

8 Hour — Offshore on March 22, 2026 • 3 adults

From start to finish, Jose and his crew were amazing! They are very hospitable, kind, and caring. The trip was a special request from my 12-year-old son, and they delivered! They put us on 3 sailfish, and then finished off the trip by helping us get some Mahi Mahi to take home for ceviche. We caught 4 Mahi in less than 10 minutes to cap a perfect trip. We will definitely book again with Hidalgo Sportfishing next time we’re in Costa Rica.

fantastic days fishing!

8 Hour — Offshore on February 17, 2026 • 2 adults

We had an amazing days fishing with Jose and the captains mate. Nothing was too much trouble. Great food and drink on the boat and a lovely friendly atmosphere! Caught a sailfish, which was an amazing creature to see, made our day, and was down to the local knowledge and experience of Jose and mate who worked tirelessly all day to maximise every chance of catching. To top the day off and on the way back to port we had a boat stop to do snorkelling and saw some amazing marine fish! Would recommend these guys every time! Made a day to remember for us and will definitely return to them to do the inshore trip to catch a rooster fish! ❤️😊.

Hi Juliette, Thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m really glad you enjoyed your day out with us — it was a pleasure having you onboard. Seeing your reaction to the sailfish was definitely a highlight for us too. My mate and I always do our best to make the most of every opportunity out there, so I’m happy that all the effort paid off. I’m also glad we were able to squeeze in some snorkeling on the way back and that you got to see some of the marine life up close! We’d love to have you back for an inshore trip next time to go after roosterfish — looking forward to it already.
