Costa Rica Sport Fishing Charters in the Papagayo Gulf
North Pacific Tours offers coastal trolling, casting, bottom and fly fishing. Captain Mauricio and his mate have many fishing tactics and techniques to put you on the fish! They are known to be the best, hard-working crew on the water.
If you are an inexperienced fisherman/woman, not a problem as the crew will guide you along the way. We like our experienced angles to have active involvement; a hand’s on approach who want to fish themselves, rather than watch a mating hook a fish and hand them the rod. Want to target a specific fish? If so, let us know before booking, and we’ll have the boat set up and ready to catch your bucket list fish.
Our fishing charters in the Papagayo waters are always in-shore, so you will always see the land. The Don Manuel is not a boat for deep sea fishing which requires a larger vessel, different licenses, and Costa Rica requirements. If you want to go deep sea fishing, you will need a bigger boat which Lisa will coordinate for you. Please note that many of the large fishing vessels fish right next to us!
