Tamarindo Fishing

Costa Rica fishing attracts thousands of anglers every year to the Tamarindo and Gulf Papagayo region to experience some very exciting big game sport fishing. Tamarindo Fishing and Papagayo fishing has been recognized as some of the finest in the world. Tamarindo and Papagayo is a Costa Rica fishing paradise that is best known for it's plentiful billfish like blue marlin, monster sized sailfish that often top 150 pounds, and a long list of other exotic big game fish.

The fertile Tamarindo and Papagayo fishing grounds, on Costa Rica’s northern Pacific Coast, have always been a top sport fishing destination for big game fishing excursions and other exciting Tamarindo fishing charters. Fishing for grouper, snapper, and roosterfish are also available while charter fishing in Costa Rica.

This side of the island is normally better for the weather. Plan in advance when booking your next trip.
