Quepos fishing captains usually consider a half-day of fishing to be about 4 hours on the water, and a full-day of fishing is about 8 hours on the water. Select from our list of charter fishing boats. On the morning
of a typical trip, the captain will send a driver to your hotel

and beverages onboard, so you only need a few personal items like
sunglasses, sunscreen and your lucky fishing hat. After being
whisked to your boat aboard a dinghy, your captain will take you

Sailfish are best from the middle of December to the end of April when they begin moving north, but the big schools move in October. A few sails always show from June through September. Tuna are easily found throughout the year along the Pacific coast, but are more abundant from June to September. Most are 8 to 12 pounders but you can make catches in the 100 to 200 pound range as well. Dorado begins with the winter rains late in May that wash debris from the river mouths creating the inshore trash lines that dolphins favor. Roosterfish are better in the mouths of the Parrita and Palo Seco, outside Damas, the mouth outside Damas, around Dominical and Drake's Bay. Best fishing is from June through early September. Snook are found in many river mouths along the coast, like the Sierpe River and lagoon. Best months are from July through November during the rainy season.
