Quepos Fishing
Legendary billfish numbers and deep water close to shore — Quepos is one of Costa Rica's great sportfishing towns.
About an hour south of Jacó, Quepos and its modern Marina Pez Vela sit next to Manuel Antonio National Park — making it the perfect base to combine world-class fishing with Costa Rica's most famous wildlife. Quepos is renowned for its sheer numbers of sailfish and marlin, thanks to deep, productive water a short run from the marina.
What you catch here
Sailfish and marlin lead the way, with yellowfin tuna, dorado and wahoo offshore, and roosterfish and snapper along the coast. The deep water close in means less running and more fishing.
