A charter fishing experience in paradise! You and up to four other people can join us for either a full day, half day or three quarter day charter fishing trip from Tamarindo beach. Travel out to the open ocean off the Guanacaste coast and enjoy some of the best offshore fishing Costa Rica has to offer. Enjoy snacks and a range of refreshments through out the day. For those travelling with us for a full or 3/4 day, a delicious lunch will also be prepared for you and your group.

From the sunny shores of Tamarindo beach, our crew will meet you and transport you to the Rhino Charger: a 31-foot Island Hopper fishing boat complete with fly bridge. Here we cast out our lines as we set sail to the continental shelf positioned only 30 short minutes from the shoreline. On any given day, you can catch yourself yellow-fin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo and roosterfish. If you’re lucky, you might even land yourself a giant marlin or sailfish! Our experienced crew know the best spots for deep-sea fishing and will help you catch your personal best. Throughout the day, you will be able to enjoy a selection of bottled water, beer, and soft drinks along with some snacks. If you’re booked with us for a full or 3/4 day trip, then a delicious lunch will be prepared for you by our crew featuring some outstanding homemade Costa Rican cooking.

Once your fishing trip is complete, head back to Tamarindo beach where your excursion will conclude. If you managed to catch yourself a tuna or mahi-mahi, our crew will be sure to fillet your catches and you will have the option to take some fresh fish back to your accommodation.
