Originally posted by DapperDan View PostI’ll look into that. I stayed in a RIU in Cabo several years ago and was impressed with the resort. How long was your fishing trip. Y’all really got into some fish!
It was a 1-day trip. 6-8 hours. They picked us up in the boat, on the beach of our resort. Made it very easy and convenient.
We went for a week. Last few days of May and first few days of June. To give you an idea. Very hot. Bring plenty of sunscreen. Water is very cold.
We also had/saw bioluminescent plankton in the water along the beach at night which was awesome. Lights up with any turbulence in the water. So when we would swim around, it would glow all around us. Pretty cool.

I've been to Acapulco, Belize, Turks and Caicos, Playa Del Carmen, St Lucia, and Cabo. If you are an all inclusive lover than look no further than Playa Del Carmen or Cabo. St Lucia was probably the worse vacation spot ever for me and what I like do which is have freedom to take off on foot and just be adventurous. With all that said I would go Belize or Turks. Turks has more beach and beautiful water with American luxuries nearby. Belize is my favorite though just cool cool atmosphere and lights out fishing!

I believe we used Papagayo Fishing
in Papagayo fishing we offer Sport fishing boats for Offshore and Inshore for a Full-day/half-day. Marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna. Inshore for Rooster fishing and bottom fishing. Also can do a Fishing trip combined with beach BBQ and snorkeling on the beach.
You look at their fleet online and pick which boat you want. You won't be going out of sight of the beach. So you don't need the $2000 luxury boat. We got the $750 boat for just us (you can split it with strangers if you want). And we loved that it was just use for every major hookup. They served lunch, snacks and beer/water for that price.
We could keep whatever we wanted and Riu cooked it up for us too. We elected to only keep 1 good sized Mahi for that. No great way to keep fish in the cooler or bring it back to the states. So we just ate that fish, that night. The deck hands and captain will ask you what you want to keep. And they'll keep the rest for themselves usually. Which is fine. You can't keep any sailfish or marlin. All catch and release. So if you want a replica mount, take good pictures and measurements.
Google "Costa Rica fishing Guanacaste" and you'll see all your choices for charters. They'll usually list which hotels they can pick you up from. And you'll notice several different websites all have the same boats..
We had a great time. Even got video of my wife catching reeling in her sailfish and it jumping a few times. Very cool.
Bring tons of your own sunscreen. I cannot stress this enough. If you forget it.. it's very expensive to purchase there. Like $50 for a 8oz tube.

Climb Gros Piton, zip line, hiking, sport fishing (other side of the island) and some other stuff. Private beach within a free taxi ride. Great restaurants pretty close. We really want to go back.
