We fish with different captains around Costa Rica, all of whom are incredibly talented and have many years of experience in the waters where they are fishing. The captains and their crew do their utmost to help you catch as many and large fish as possible during your journey.

Deep-sea fishing is done with 25-42-foot boats and you book them privately. There can be between 1-5 fishers onboard at the same time on these boats. It is also very common to see dolphins, humpback whales, giant turtles and rays when you are out fishing.

• The boats are run by the best fishing captains in Costa Rica and you are taken care of by their fishing guides onboard.

There is no tip for the fishing guides in the price but it is custom to leave it to the boat staff in Costa Rica. How much you want to leave is up to you, but starting at $ 10-60 per person per day is normal. Drinking should be done for a job well done and that is not a must, but it is appreciated by the crew of the boats.
