Sportfishing the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Playa Herradura, Costa Rica is the thrill of a lifetime. Just a few miles off the coast of Herradura is one of the world’s top billfish fisheries, where Sailfish and Marlin are caught daily! Come join us on our 27’ Mako charter boat for a fishing trip your friends back home won’t believe…. If you’re looking for an offshore fishing charter, we recommend our full day, 8hr trip. We’ll be able to travel further off the coast to the fishing grounds with the least amount of fishing pressure, meaning more bites for YOU! Costa Rica’s 3 native species of Marlin (Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin), are caught the most consistently during the months of October, November, and December. Another great window where we experience the most success is from April-June. Sailfish are caught abundantly year-round, but the absolute best timeframe to catch them is from January-March. Your Herradura fishing charter will be guided by Captain Henry, a Costa Rican local who’s spent his entire life on the water. A first mate will also be on board to ensure you a full-service, stress free trip! He’ll handle all of the rigging, baiting, and de-hooking of the day’s catch. Our crew is an open book and would love to share the knowledge they’ve spent a lifetime accumulating with YOU! If you’ve never experienced offshore fishing before, Captain Henry will be sure to teach you all of the techniques you’ll need to land that trophy Blue Marlin. Children of all ages are welcome on board, at the parent’s discretion. Our 27’ Mako charter boat was built to fish. The flybridge allows Captain Henry a higher vantage point to see deeper into the water to look for flashes of Marlin, and also look for bird activity/weed lines (which are sure signs that pelagic gamefish are nearby). There are also outriggers, livewell, GPS, fishfinder, VHF radio, and icebox on board. Our top of the line equipment, paired with Captain Henry’s knowledge of the local water, make us one of the top fishing charters in the Herradura area. While trolling offshore, here are some of the species you can expect to catch: Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, Blue Marlin, Wahoo, Black Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Striped Marlin. We also offer both half day morning and half day afternoon fishing trips for the anglers looking to get a “taste” of the world class fishing of Herradura. The best way to spend our half day trips is in the inshore/nearshore waters of Herradura bay. We’ll be able to help hook you up on Costa Rica’s most ferocious gamefish, the coveted Roosterfish. Roosterfish are caught the most consistently from July-September, but January-June also produce great numbers. Other inshore species that we frequently catch are: Cubera Snapper, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Tarpon, Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, and Grouper. Bent rods, unbelievable pictures, and a family friendly environment is what you can expect when you book a charter with Captain Henry! Charter fishing in Herradura, Costa Rica won’t leave you disappointed. Book today to make memories that will last a lifetime!
