Capitan Mendez Fishing Charters

If you’re looking for your next unforgettable fishing adventure, head to Playas del Coco and book a trip with Capitan Mendez Fishing Charters! Emerge on the fishing experience of a lifetime! Captain Mendez will take you fishing in the Gulf of Papagayo!

Welcome aboard the captain’s 30’ Panga boat. This centre console has all the necessary navigational and safety equipment, an ice box, and a live bait tank. There’s enough room for 6 guests. If you’re bottom fishing, everybody can do it at the same time, but in the case of trolling, 5 rods can be in the water.

Sailfish, Roosterfish, Mahi, Wahoo, and many other game species are on the menu throughout the year – you just have to hunt them down and reel them in. These are not easy catches, so Capt. Mendez will assist you in case it gets too hard. Please note that all Billfish and Roosterfish are strictly catch and release.

The captain will provide you with Penn and UglyStick fishing equipment and prepare live bait in advance. The catch cleaning service is included in the price as well. There’s going to be drinking water and seasonal fruit onboard but feel free to bring other beverages and snacks. The captain can also purchase your fishing license, and you can pay him when the trip starts.

Capitan Mendez Fishing Charters is at your service year-round. Ready for your awesome Costa Rican adventure?!

Please note that we can offer pick-ups at your location, but it isn’t included in the trip prices, and it will depend on your exact location.
