Costa Rica is one of the world’s premier destinations for sport fishing, and for good reason. With two coastlines—the Pacific and the Caribbean—this tropical paradise offers anglers access to some of the most abundant and diverse fishing grounds on the planet. At Go Fish Costa Rica, we specialize in creating unforgettable sport fishing adventures that bring you face to face with trophy catches, pristine waters, and the vibrant culture of Costa Rica.
Why Costa Rica is a Sport Fishing Haven
Few places in the world rival Costa Rica when it comes to both offshore and inshore sport fishing. The Pacific side, especially along the Central and Northern coasts, is famous for its world-class billfish action, while the Caribbean is renowned for powerful Tarpon and Snook.
Whether you’re a seasoned angler chasing record-breaking Marlin or a first-time fisherman eager to experience the thrill of hooking your first Sailfish, Costa Rica delivers an experience that is second to none.
Key species you can expect to target include:
- Pacific Sailfish – Abundant year-round, especially from December to April.
- Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin – Peak months are May to October, but possible year-round.
- Yellowfin Tuna – Known for their strength and speed.
- Mahi-Mahi (Dorado) – Vibrant, fast, and delicious.
- Roosterfish – A prized inshore catch.
- Snapper & Grouper – Perfect for inshore fishing adventures.
- Tarpon & Snook – Caribbean specialties that deliver thrilling fights.

A Day of Sport Fishing in Costa Rica
Picture this:
You set out early in the morning from a world-class marina. The sun rises over the horizon as your captain heads toward prime fishing grounds. Lines are dropped, and before long, the drag screams as a Sailfish explodes from the water. Later in the day, you might battle a hard-fighting Yellowfin Tuna or troll for Marlin.
After hours of thrilling action, you return to the marina, sun-kissed and smiling, with stories (and maybe dinner) to share. Back at your hotel or villa, you can relax and relive the highlights of your adventure, knowing tomorrow brings more opportunities.
