Costa Rica Offshore Fishing
We are located on the shores of the Gulfo Dulce, surrounded by record class grounds for offshore fishing.
A major ocean current runs north along the western coast of South America to Costa Rica. It hits our area in Central America, bringing with it an abundance of game fish and sea life (over 700 species of saltwater fish).
Your day offshore begins with a short run to record class blue water - our location on the Osa Peninsula cuts run times in half compared to other Gulfo Dulce/Golfito locations.
This area is home to exceptional billfishing. It's not uncommon to raise upwards of 20 sails on a good day offshore.
Fishing Techniques: Trips offshore are diverse and always exciting with the wide variety of fishing tactics we use. From trolling with conventional tackle or dead bait (mullet, ballyhoo and mackerel), to bait & switch, live bait and fly fishing. Many of our methods target all species at once, and will often result in double or triple hook-ups.
