FAQ Quepos Fishing

The prices listed are for the boat or for each fisherman?

Prices listed are for the whole boat for the day. We recommend bringing up to four people, but can do a few more if needed. The price includes all the food and drinks, and the only thing you will need to bring is 13 dollars a person the morning of the trip for a one month fishing license.

I looked at some other boats and your cheaper. Why?

-->We are cheaper because we want to fish more often. The less we charge, the more often we get to fish! Also, most websites are booking agents and they don't really own a boat, just upsell other boats by 20 percent or more. We also have a brand new motor that means we burn usually half of what other similar boats burn. Everything combines to make us the lowest price, best equipped boat fishing in Quepos!

The prices include fishing and what else?

-->Other than great fishing and awesome memories, all the food and drinks are included in the price. We provide all the tackle and bait as well, and the boat always has at least one mate to help you with the fishing!

Is it going to be rough?

-->There are two seasons here, flat and flatter. We have maybe 10 days a year where it's rough, and maybe one or two days a year we can't fish. From November to April, it's almost perfectly flat. From May to October, it is usually pretty calm, but those are the months where we can have those 10 rough days. So usually flat, hardly ever rough.

Do you have a GPS and VHF Radio?

-->We have more elecronics on our boat than any other boat in Quepos. GPS, a Huge Sonar, 2 VHFs, radar, and an awesome pair of Stabilized binoculars that can find birds or debris at 4 miles!

When should I plan my trip to Quepos? Is one time of the year better?

-->Here in Quepos, there is always something biting! We do have our big billfish season from November to April. November and December usually have More Marlin and Dorado, and January until April are usually filled with good numbers of sailfish. May to October usually brings awesome Snapper and Amberjacks on the bottom. There are still some Marlin and sailfish out, usually splitting the day up between bottom fishing and topwater trolling. Always something to catch fishing in Quepos!

Are hotels cheaper in Costa Rica than the US?

-->We have a hotel page with prices and picture you can check out here: Hotels Page.Usually, they are similar to US prices with a much better view. We think the nicest hotel here is the Mariposa. We can set everything up for you, just let us know when you are coming!

What can I do when not fishing?

-->There are so many things to do here. We have zipline tours, ATV tours, diving, horseback, awesome beaches and everything you can think of to do outdoors except snow skiing! :)

Do you offer help setting up my trips?

-->Let me know when you are coming and where you would like to say and I'll take care of everything!

What do I do if I have questions about something that isn't related to fishing?

-->Ask me anything at all, I love questions! It's always fun to help out in anyway I can. I was a tourist here before Imoved, and I know what I enjoyed and what I didn't and I'd love to help you have the best trip possible. Anything at all, just ask!

Quepos Fishing Forecast

February to April 2014

High season is here, and we are seeing double digit sailfish bites everyday offshore! Weather should be perfect, flat seas, no rain, make sure to bring sunscreen as it's going to be bright out there! We should still see some Marlin and Dorado as well, but the sailfish will be thick and it'll be hard to get the bait passed those aggresive and fast fish! Inshore there should be quite a few sardine schools around giving us the option of going after snapper and snook in addition to our monster roosterfish which we regularly catch. It'll be some great fishing and we're filling up quick!
