Bluefin
Sportfishing Charters is based in Quepos, Costa
Rica, one of the two most important sportfishing
destinations in Costa Rica,
and one of the major fishing areas in all of Central
America. A fully licenced sportfishing charter company,
Bluefin services clients in Quepos, Flamingo
Beach, and Drake Bay-all three of Costa Rica's
main sportfishing locations.
Our Company
Founded in 1992, the company maintains a fleet of
three first class boats, equipped with the latest
in sonar, fishing equipment and controls. Our top
notch captains and first
mates
of Bluefin I, Bluefin II and Bluefin III, each have
extensive knowledge of Catch and Release sportfishing.
Furthermore, their first hand experience in these
local waters will help ensure that your fishing
trip delivers the most successful sportfishing results
in the waters surrounding Quepos, Flamingo Beach,
Caņo Island and Drake Bay. The Pacific's best offshore
fishing, inlcuding all types of billfish, dorado(mahi-mahi),
yellowfin tuna and marlin are just hours from our
port, while the nearby, inshore waters are home
to a plentiful supply of roosterfish, mackeral,
snapper, wahoo and snook.
The company offers half-day and full
day charters as well as customized multi-day trips
geared to the demands of the client. Both inshore
and off shore trips are available. Rates range from
$300.00 to $750.00 depending on the length of trip
and area chosen.
Bluefin
is actively involved with the preservation of billfish
in Costa Rica through the Billfish Foundation of
Fort Lauterdale Florida, and is also connected with
Jardin Gaia Wildlife Rescue in Quepos. Bluefin recycles
all engine oil and only uses diesel fuel that does
not contain lead to help keep the environment clean.

The following list will help you gage what the best
COSTA RICAN FISHING will be year round. The action
will vary with the seasons, prevailing winds, currents,
weather and other natural conditions, at any given
