The waters off Flamingo Marina and Potrero Beach are widely considered some of the most productive sportfishing grounds in all of Central America. On a full day offshore charter aboard Fish Tale II you can target Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, Pacific Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, and Dorado. Inshore and 3/4 day charters target the legendary Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Grouper, and Jack Crevalle along Guanacaste's stunning Gold Coast. Fish Tale II has competed in the prestigious World Championship of Sportfishing — making it the most accomplished fishing charter departing from Flamingo Beach.
Peak season for offshore billfish runs December through May when calm Pacific waters and optimal currents push Sailfish, Marlin, Tuna, and Wahoo close to the Flamingo Marina grounds. This dry season period also coincides with the famous Guanacaste Billfish Tournament season. The green season from June through November delivers excellent inshore fishing for Roosterfish and Snapper, and longer offshore excursions still produce exceptional results year round — making Flamingo Beach one of the few destinations in Costa Rica where world class sport fishing is available 365 days a year.
Absolutely. Fish Tale II is one of the most family friendly and beginner friendly fishing charters departing from Flamingo Marina. The 35-foot Cabo Sportfisher features a fully air-conditioned salon cabin, private bathroom, full galley, and a spacious lounge area — making it comfortable for children, non-anglers, and first time deep sea fishermen alike. The bilingual 3-man crew includes an experienced offshore captain and mate who specialize in putting both seasoned anglers and complete beginners on fish. Chef prepared lunches, snacks, fruit, beer, water, and all refreshments are included on every charter.
Fish Tale II is the only World Championship of Sportfishing competitor operating out of Flamingo Marina, making it the most decorated and experienced fishing charter on Guanacaste's Gold Coast. Unlike most local charters, Fish Tale II is US Veteran owned and operated, staffed by a bilingual 3-man crew, and equipped with top of the line electronics, tournament grade offshore tackle, and a queen berth salon with full air conditioning — a rare luxury on fishing charters in Costa Rica. It is consistently rated one of the top sportfishing charters in all of Costa Rica on TripAdvisor and FishAnywhere.

Upon returning to Flamingo Marina our crew will professionally clean and fillet your catch at no additional charge, so your fish is ready to take directly to your hotel, vacation rental, or a local Guanacaste restaurant. Many local restaurants in Flamingo Beach and Potrero offer a "cook your catch" service where their chef will prepare your fresh fish as a meal for your group — one of the most authentic and memorable dining experiences in all of Costa Rica. Pacific Sailfish and Marlin are strictly catch and release in Costa Rica in accordance with INCOPESCA regulations, helping preserve Guanacaste's world class billfish fishery for future generations.
