The full-day charter includes lunch, fruit, soft drinks, water, beer, equipment and your captain and 2 mates. We will also provide you air-conditioned van transportation from your hotel directly to the boat dock and back to your hotel.

You do need a Costa Rican fishing license prior to boarding any sportfishing boat. Licenses can be purchased on location at Marina Pez Vela.

Although our boat has a hard top that provides ample shade, serious anglers will be out in the sun battling prize gamefish. Being near the equator, UV values can be intense. Must have items are: hat, polarized sunglasses and high spf value sunscreen (please no oil-based sunscreen). NO hard sole shoes are allowed on the boas. Boat shoes, sandals, Crocs and sneakers are just fine. Shorts and long-sleeve fishing shirts that provide additional protection from the sun are also recommended.

Our fishing charters provide all tackle, bait, food, beverages and snacks that you will likely need for the day. Ice Box and refrigeration space aboard our vessel is ample. PLEASE do not bring glass containers of any kind. Be sure to bring your camera!

Soon after boarding our vessels, you’ll be directed to the locations of our beverage and snack centers, where those items are available to you at any time during the day. We stock plenty of water, as well as soft drinks, beer, fruit drinks and fresh fruit. A complete lunch is also provided on each full-day charter.

The Quepos Fishing Grounds are rich with many species of fish. The type of fish caught depends on the time of year, but Sailfish, Marlin, Snapper, Rooster fish, Tuna and Dorado all frequent the waters off the coast of Quepos.

All billfish are released; however, the local mahi-mahi (dorado), tuna and wahoo are among the most delicious fish you will ever eat. Keep a few of these species for your dinner later in the evening. Many restaurants throughout the area are pleased to prepare your fresh catch to order for dinner. We also encourage you to allow the captain and mates to take a few fillets home for dinner.

Yes, our Captain can guide your fly fishing trip, however, Frenzy does not provide fly fishing tackle, so you will need to bring your own tackle.

You will find Costa Ricans very appreciative of any gratuity you choose to give them. Use the following as a general guideline when calculating tips:

For the crew of a sportfishing boat, their day begins at the crack of dawn and often ends in the dark. These guys work extremely hard and really earn their tips. A good rule of thumb is 15% – 20% of the daily charter fee. Another good rule of thumb is $100 for the captain and $100 for each of the mates. So for the Frenzy boat a good tip would be $300 per day. Give the captain the total tip at the end of the fishing day and he will share it with the mates. If the crew works especially hard, a little extra tip would be appropriate! Many fishing companies have a person on the dock, like Frenzy’s Willy Jimenez, who takes care of things on land and makes sure you have food, water, etc. on the boat. Don’t forget to tip these guys too! $25 per day would be appropriate.
