Sport Fishing in Drake Bay

Fishing off the Osa Peninsula is brilliant – a truly amazing experience you will never forget. We have been fishing these waters for more than 25 years, and our captains know their job. We are passionate about this sport and even more passionate about making sure you have an exceptional fishing experience with us!

Full day offshore

On our full-day offshore charters you will chase the runs of big Blue and Black Marlin, as well as Sailfish, 20 to 40 miles out. On the way, we look for the huge schools of spinner dolphins to find the big Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado (Mahi-Mahi).

Inshore fishing

Our half-day and full-day inshore charters stay closer to the coast, where you can troll around Caño Island for Wahoo, or jig on the rock mounts for Cubera Snapper, Amberjack and Grouper. There are also half-day charters for inshore trolling, casting surface plugs or live bait for Roosterfish, Sierra (Spanish Mackerel) and Snapper.

Half day (4–5 hours): $650 per boat · Full day (8–9 hours): up to $1,200 per boat, depending on boat size and destination

Departure at the time of your choice; we recommend 6:30 am from our main beach. The maximum number of people depends on the boat size.

ATV Tour in Drake Bay

There is no better way to discover the remarkable beauty of the Osa Peninsula than exploring the trails of Drake Bay and its surroundings on your own ATV. Leave the usual tourist routes behind and experience the true character of this region as you ride through lush jungle, venture into pristine wilderness and take in breathtaking ocean views. Many of our trails can only be reached by ATV, so you will explore routes that few people have ever seen.

We chose Drake Bay as our home for many reasons, and the most remarkable one is the extraordinary biodiversity of Corcovado. In a short ride you go from sea level to hills with panoramic views of the ocean and the rainforest, where the air is cooler and the scenery is unforgettable. Untouched jungle, spectacular beaches, stunning sunsets and mountain trails come together in this extraordinary corner of the world, and we are excited to share it with you.

Our base is in Drake Bay, just steps from where the boats arrive, so your adventure starts as soon as you get here. No need to spend valuable vacation time on long transfers.

Before setting out, you will get a short introduction to riding the ATV and the essential safety rules, followed by a short practice ride so you feel comfortable and confident. Then you will be ready for an excursion you will remember for years to come.

Half day (8:00 am – 12:00 pm): $100 per ATV · Full day (8:00 am – 5:00 pm): $180 per ATV

No minimum number of participants. Up to 2 people per ATV.
