Dominical Costa Rica Fishing

Costa Rica fishing is best known for its sailfish, some reaching up to 220 pounds. Much of the country's original tourism was based on competitive sport fishing excursions. On a typical fishing trip you will find remarkable fishing and will almost always see dolphins, sea turtles and, during the right season, migrating whales.

Offshore sport fishing in the Central Pacific is well respected among professional sportsmen and casual fisherman. Dominical is located in the heart of the region where the best sailfish breed and spawn. We fish offshore at the Furuno Banks, the very same area visited by the sport fishing tours that are operated out of Quepos. The Furuno Bank is located 23 nautical miles from Dominical and Caño Island is about 30 nautical miles more to the south. This strategic position is the main advantage of a takeoff in Dominical in comparison with the main fishing destinations further north or down south.

We are the first to reach the lonely Furuno Bank and move south to the banks close to Caño Island, when the other boats from Quepos start to arrive. Then we are able to fish in almost virgin areas all day long. The depths of the water can range from 100 feet to over 6000 feet! A perfect place for the sailfish to feed. No matter if you are a competitive fisherman or just an onlooker, there is nothing more spectacular than watching the stupendous leap of the sailfish as it bursts from the water and dances through the air.  If you do not feel like hauling in 220 pounds of determined muscles you can easily come across less feisty but tasty alternatives such as Wahoo, Dorado, Tuna or Marlin depending on the season. You can also fish inshore year-round for Mackerel, Jack, Roosterfish, Red Snapper and Corvina.
