Captain Bobby McGuinness offers the best in Costa Rica sportfishing charters. Bobby lives and fishes in Golfito, on the eastern shore of the Golfo Dulce bay on Costa Rica’s South Pacific Coast, where some of the finest Costa Rica fishing is found.
Golfito is an hour’s flight south by commercial airline or private charter from the capital, San José. Those who want to see some of Costa Rica’s most beautiful scenery can also enjoy a relaxing six-hour minivan transfer along the Pacific coast.
The Cazador and Iron II will also pick up anglers in Puerto Jiménez across the bay, and has quick access to the ocean for the best combination of offshore and inshore fishing in Costa Rica. Puerto Jiménez is home to the smaller 26ft Praise with Captain Diego Chavarria, and the 23ft Sexto Sentido with Captain Pedro Rodriguez.
FishCostaRica can make all the travel arrangements to/from Golfito or Puerto Jiménez and look after hotel accommodations for our Costa Rica fishing clients.

On your Costa Rica sportfishing trip we will book you at ‘angler friendly’ hotels in the South Pacific, like the Fish Hook Marina in Golfito, or in Cabinas Jiménez in Puerto Jiménez. Both are right on the Golfo Dulce. These comfortable Costa Rica sportfishing hotels know how to look after anglers; they offer great hospitality and services for offshore and inshore fishing. The Fish Hook Marina, for example, has a bar and restaurant, attractive rooms, some of them right over the water, with A/C and/or ceiling fans, cable TV, etc., combined with superb attention that provide utmost comfort and sportfishing satisfaction.
Species of fish you can expect to catch: Sailfish, Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Dorado (Mahi-Mahi), Wahoo, Roosterfish, Amberjack, and Red, Rock, Parrot and Cubera Snapper. For the big game saltwater angler, the South Pacific offers some of the best Marlin fishing in Costa Rica.
