About This Tour

The gentleman's fishing boat. A 40 ft flybridge yacht where the tackle is serious but so is the bar — cocktails included, even with lines in the water.

Fish the ledges for tuna, dorado and sailfish, spot bait balls from the flybridge, or dedicate the day to the ultimate surf safari: Witch's Rock and Ollie's Point back-to-back. Free beach pickup anywhere in Papagayo means the day starts at your resort, not a parking lot.

For groups who want it all — half fishing, half floating, everyone fed and watered properly.

Fishing Calendar — Guanacaste

Species	Season
Sailfish	Nov – May (peak Dec – Apr)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel and Yoking are two amazing brothers to look out for if you are going snorkelling with this company. Yorking ensured everyone got into the water (even the jittery ones!) and swam right by us holding and guiding us. Loved the experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Boat Trips Club! Everyone took care of us really well. There was so much space on the boat to lounge, relax and put our stuff away. We had a whole day excursion and went to the a shallow pool and Saona Island. Everyone would ask if we needed anything at all times. Highly recommend the service. It was the best boat experience I’ve had.
