Charter boat fishing in Playa Negra, Costa Rica offers an unforgettable experience whether you’re heading inshore or venturing offshore. Inshore trips often bring anglers close to rugged lava rock points and secluded coves, where roosterfish, snapper, and jacks strike hard in the shallow blue-green waters. Offshore, the Pacific drops steeply into deep currents rich with pelagic life, producing outstanding catches of mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, sailfish, and marlin. Beyond the thrill of the bite, Playa Negra’s coastline is a highlight of its own—black-sand beaches framed by volcanic reef, rolling surf, and untouched stretches of tropical forest create a breathtaking backdrop for any day on the water. With its pristine environment and thriving marine ecosystem, this region consistently delivers both exceptional fishing quality and natural beauty.

To fish this area of the Guanacaste we have to really earn it. There is no marina, no gas station nearby, no tackle shop, no bait barges, or marine supplies. Its bumpy dirt roads and miles of rugged coastline. It takes a lot of heart and determination to chase these fish. But every seafood dinner tastes that much better when you know the catch is fresh and sourced with your own two hands.
