Azimut 105 in Guanacaste, Costa Rica! Tamarindo, Flamingo, Papagayo
This yacht and its crew were so amazing! We spent 6 hours in the Costa Rican waters for a girls birthday trip. From start to finish it was an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend and will definitely book again when we come back.

Full day of fun Tortuga Island in Jacó, Costa Rica
Captain Robert was great! We had a group of five of us and it was perfect! We had the most amazing day. Truly something we will cherish forever. The ride out/back is not something I would recommend if you have a bad back, it’s a tad bumpy but we felt 100% safe with Captain Rob at the wheel. 10 out of 10, would totally recommend.

''Lupo II'' Motor Yacht Charter in Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica
What a fantastic way to spend four hours! Our recent yacht excursion was an absolute dream. From start to finish, it was a wonderful day out on the water, complete with refreshing swims in the clear ocean. The captain and crew were truly exceptional. They were not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, ensuring a smooth and safe journey, but also genuinely friendly and attentive. Their excellent service made the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure on the water, this yacht excursion is highly recommended!

Why Not Oceanic Experience- Luxury Fountaine Pajot 61 feet in Flamingo
The tour was great. The crew members were hospitable and personable, and the Chef was excellent. She was able to create delicious dishes catering to everyones dietary needs and preferences. We were provided with good informstion about the area as we cruised. We were given plenty of time for water activites, relaxing, and whatever else the party felt like doing. The condition of the yacht was excellent, indicating the crew takes great care of the vessel. It was very clean and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a Costa Rica fishing charter boat?
Pricing for a fishing charter in Costa Rica will start at around $90/hour for a captained, guided fishing experience. Book a half-day or full-day fishing trip from Guanacaste, Quepos, or one of many amazing fishing destinations nationwide. Fishing charters can range up to over $300/hour, depending on the size of the boat, the number of anglers coming onboard, and your desired fishing itinerary.
Where can you go by boat in Costa Rica?
Boat tours and excursions are a great choice for anyone visiting Costa Rica. Book a sunset sailing cruise from Playa del Coco or venture into the Caribbean from Limón. Great whitewater rafting trips are available on one of the many rivers that wind through the country. Costa Rica has amazing boating, surfing, fishing, and other on-water activities available for travelers of all interests.
Does Costa Rica have good fishing?
Regardless if you’re on the Pacific or Caribbean coast, you can enjoy great fishing in Costa Rica. For inland fishing, head to Lake Arenal for some of the best freshwater catches like rainbow bass, guapote, or the “machaca” fighting fish. For saltwater, book a deep-sea fishing charter in Costa Rica and catch everything from Sailfish, Marlin, Tuna, and Snapper, to name a few.
