Have you always dreamed of sportfishing in Costa Rica? We are located in Playa Samara with decades of experience in this excellent area for inshore and deep water. Our spots are not far away from our base; this makes our displacement to the spot short and allows us to take full advantage of the time on the boat. English, Spanish, and Italian spoken.
Tecniche
Fly fishing, trolling and vertical jigging

Exciting Bottom Fishing Action in Sรกmara
Exciting Bottom Fishing Action in Sรกmara
Giu 25, 2025 Nicoya
Today was an amazing day out on the water here in Sรกmara! We focused on bottom fishing, using both jigging techniques and natural bait, and the results did not disappoint. Our guests enjoyed steady action with plenty of beautiful groupers coming aboard โ€” always a thrill to catch and a great reward for patience and skill. The jigging rods stayed busy, and the smiles on board said it all! The highlight of the day was hooking into not one, but two Thresher Sharks! These powerful fish gave us an incredible fight and put the whole crew to the test. Unfortunately, both managed to break the line after some epic battles โ€” but thatโ€™s the beauty of fishing, you never know whatโ€™s going to happen next. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with excitement, great company, and plenty of fish. We canโ€™t wait to get back out there!

Marlin fishing is on
Marlin fishing is on
Maggio 22, 2025 Nicoya
While many anglers associate Costa Ricaโ€™s dry season with prime fishing, the rainy season (Mayโ€“November) offers some of the best opportunities for Marlin fishing, especially along the Pacific coast. During these months, the waters come alive with bait, drawing in large predators like Blue and Striped Marlin. Afternoon showers help cool the surface temperatures, creating ideal conditions for deep sea action. Fewer boats on the water also mean less pressure and more rewarding encounters. If youโ€™re looking to target Marlin in Costa Rica, donโ€™t overlook the rainy seasonโ€”it just might be your best shot at a trophy catch!
