FishCostaRica invites you and your friends or family to fish with Captain Bobby McGuinness on his 37-foot Cazador or 54ft Iron II. The South Pacific region offers what many consider to be the best ofshore/inshore combination in the entire country. The offshore enthusiast can enjoy Marlin fishing in Costa Rica in spots that only Bobby knows about, and also go after Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo and Dorado. Inshore, Bobby can find you big Roosterfish just south of the border with Panama.

CAPTAIN BOBBY McGUINNESS GUARANTEES YOU A MARLIN!

If you book a two- or three-day overnighter on the Cazador between July 1 and November 15, Bobby McGuinness will guarantee you at least one solid Marlin hook-up. After that it's up to you to bring the fish successfully to the boat. This is a challenge that few captains would dare to offer, and too good a chance for anglers serious about catching a Marlin to pass up. Don't wait to call for more information.

NEW!!! Bobby now has access to a comfortable 54ft Riviera Yacht, the Iron II, for two-day, three-night and three-day, four-night trips to the FADs. Contact us for more information.

For the inshore angler who craves lots of constant action, there are 12 Snapper species alone, including Red, Cubera, Rock and Dog-Tooth, plus huge Roosterfish, Grouper, Shark and Amberjack.
