By Blue Fin Sport fishing
The company maintains a fleet of three first class boats, equipped with the latest in sonar, fishing equipment and controls. Our top notch captains and first mates of Bluefin I, Bluefin II and Bluefin III, each have extensive knowledge of Catch and Release sportfishing. Furthermore, their first hand experience in these local waters will help ensure that your fishing trip delivers the most successful sportfishing results in the waters surrounding Quepos, Flamingo Beach, Caño Island and Drake Bay. The Pacific's best offshore fishing, inlcuding all types of billfish, dorado(mahi-mahi), yellowfin tuna and marlin are just hours from our port, while the nearby, inshore waters are home to a plentiful supply of roosterfish, mackeral, snapper, wahoo and snook.
The company offers half-day and full day charters as well as customized multi-day trips geared to the demands of the client. Both inshore and off shore trips are available. Rates range from $300.00 to $750.00 depending on the length of trip and area chosen.
Bluefin is actively involved with the preservation of billfish in Costa Rica through the Billfish Foundation of Fort Lauterdale Florida, and is also connected with Jardin Gaia Wildlife Rescue in Quepos. Bluefin recycles all engine oil and only uses diesel fuel that does not contain lead to help keep the environment clean.
