Frequently asked questions

The magic of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula is that we have deep water super close to the coastline which creates incredible upwelling and bait schools all year long. Inshore fishing from Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Snook, Jacks, pompano, amberjack, grouper and even some monster Tarpon have made a showing up to 200lbs!
Offshore we have all the cool big fish as well some are a bit seasonal but all can be caught any day of the year. Black and Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Dorado. Our tuna schools are in the southern zone every month of the year with no comercial tuna fleet it is the best it’s ever been!

We take pride in all our tackle from the best Shimano and Daiwa rods and reels. We take pride in our food as well with fresh fruit, snacks and amazing lunches. Drinks we pack 12 beers, waters and sodas. If you want more beer let us know so we can work that out before the charter.

We have space for extra rods in the rocket launchers, bring your best spinning rod to throw poppers to Roosterfish and big Tunas.
