Afternoon Fishing Charter in Tamarindo: Multiple Techniques

You'll fish four different ways in a single afternoon

A half-day afternoon fishing charter in Tamarindo puts you on the water with a live guide who speaks English, Spanish or French, mixing trolling, jigging, bottom fishing and casting as you hunt yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, snapper, grouper, roosterfish and other species. The guide tailors the techniques and targets to what you're after (a good fight or fresh dinner), and adjusts the day around your skill and what bites.

The experience

You board in the afternoon and spend four hours exploring different fishing methods. The guide doesn't stick to one approach: you'll troll for sailfish and wahoo, jig for amberjacks and mackerels, drop lines for snappers and groupers on the bottom, and cast for roosterfish and jacks. The mix keeps the day moving and matches what's biting on the day you're there, so you're not locked into a single technique or a single target species.

Beers, soft drinks, water, ice and snacks come with the charter. If you want to keep your catch for dinner, the crew can handle that. If you're after the fight alone, you release and move on. Families, couples and solo travelers all fish the same boat, and the guide adjusts the pace and the targets to fit who's aboard, whether someone's never held a rod or you've fished before.

What’s included

• Beers, soft drinks, water, ice and snacks during the four-hour charter.
