Epic Offshore Fishing Minutes From Launch
Step aboard Colio and within minutes you’re in the heart of Costa Rica’s most productive offshore waters. Deep ledges and pinnacles rise from the abyss just off the coast, creating perfect hunting grounds for massive black marlin, schools of yellowfin tuna, and acrobatic sailfish. No long runs required – you’re fishing premium grounds immediately. The underwater structure concentrate baitfish and predators year-round, offering anglers unprecedented access to world-class offshore action minutes from the dock.
InCLUDED IN fishing charter PACKAGE
The Best Inshore Fishing in Costa Rica
Southern Costa Rica’s inshore waters host genuine giants, where world-record class fish lurk minutes from the dock. Monster Pacific tarpon pushing 200 pounds cruise the shoreline, while trophy roosterfish over 80 pounds patrol the rocky points. Cubera snapper exceeding 60 pounds emerge from their lairs, prepared to test the strongest tackle. Every cast has the potential for a personal best, whether it’s a 50-pound African pompano, massive grouper, or one of the countless other trophy species that call these waters home.
Encanta La Vida Lodge is $300pp double occupancy all inclusive epic meals we do have the best chefs at the lodge food is seriously all world bring home a tuna for sushi night or a Dorado for ceviche.
Taxi to the lodge is $80 total each way up to 4 person per taxi.
Jungle tours, Waterfall tours, Night Hikes, Kayaking etc available at the lodge. You will see 4 species of monkeys, sloths, toucans, scarlet macaws and so much more in this safe but wild nature setting.
You can come as many days as you want but I recommend staying for 6-7 days fishing 4 days then enjoying the lodge and the jungle tours for the best Costa Rican experience ever!
Travel is easy just get to San Jose, Costa Rica on your favorite airline then send us your itinerary so we can get you a discounted Sansa Air fly to either Golfito or Puerto Jimenez depending on which package suites your style.
