Private Fishing Charters in Manuel Antonio
Depart from Marina Pez Vela into some of the most productive Pacific waters in the world. Sailfish, marlin, mahi-mahi and roosterfish — with an expert bilingual crew at your side.
World-Class Sport Fishing Off the Pacific Coast
The waters off Quepos and Manuel Antonio are among the most productive fishing grounds in the world. The convergence of the warm Pacific current and the nutrient-rich upwellings off the Central Pacific coast creates a marine ecosystem that supports extraordinary concentrations of billfish, pelagics and inshore game fish year-round.
Our charters are operated by Costa Rica Fishing Company — the premier sport fishing operator in Manuel Antonio, with over 15 years running the waters out of Marina Pez Vela.
