On arrival in San Jose, Costa Rica, you will clear customs and immigrations, after which you will be met by a representative of Flamingo Bay Pacific Charters who will provide your transfer to the Hotel Cariari. If flight times allow, you might be able to make it all the way to Quepos today.
The Flamingo Bay representative will discuss your itinerary for the next morning’s departure for the coast and the remainder of the day will be at your leisure.
If you were able to make it to Quepos on your arrival day, you would be met at your hotel after breakfast (about 7:00am) for transfer to the marina to get your fishing license and board your boat for your first day of fishing.
If you spent the arrival night in San Jose, you will be met in the lobby of the Cariari and transferred to the airport for your 20-minute flight to Quepos.
Upon arrival in Quepos, you will be met and transferred to your hotel to put away your gear and have a quick breakfast.
After breakfast you will be transferred to the Marina Pez Vela to board your boat and head out for a full eight-hour day of saltwater action.
Upon your return to the marina, you will be met and transferred back to your hotel. Evening meals are on your own and you will be able to choose between numerous restaurants, many of which have spectacular views of the coast.
There are several within a 5 minute walk from your hotel or you can take a 5 minute taxi ride to one of the many restaurants in the area.
Our research and many seasons of experience has taught us that the fishing out of Quepos is good throughout the year, however the absolute peak season for billfish is from December through late April.
You will be fishing from boats in the 31ft range with upgrades available. Our boats will be fully outfitted with the latest in communication and fish finding electronics.
The generally short runs (30-45 minute average) to the fishing grounds means less time traveling and more time fishing. Your captain has many years of experience and is well equipped to put you in the fish.
The mates on board will allow you to hook your own fish unless you decide otherwise. All provided tackle and lures are first class and you also have the option of bringing your own favorite lures.
The boats in Quepos do practice “catch and release”, so have your camera on board to capture the moment. Mounts are now made from a photo with taxidermists using a formula to calculate the dimensions of the fish to construct your mount.
Enjoy a full fishing day.

You will be met and transferred for your flight back to San Jose, arriving in time to connect to your international flight home.
