Catching big fish inshore with light tackle is one of the most enjoyable challenges a sport angler can have, and here even the small fish become big. Seeing roosterfish dorsal fins breaking the water’s surface and start to chase your popper, or the splash when a Cubera Snapper jumps and takes it, is what inshore fishing is all about at its best!
We fish inshore along the entire Pacific coast as well as for Tarpon and Snook on the Caribbean side. Our skilled captains know the best spots near islands and shoals where you will spend your days trolling, popping, or jigging for roosterfish, tuna, jacks, snapper, grouper, needlefish, and much more.
During the fishing days, the following are included: full fishing gear, bait, lunch, snacks, fruit, water, soda, and beer. (For half-day fishing, lunch is not included.)
We offer everything from large offshore sportfishing boats to smaller inshore vessels, depending on what and where you’d like to fish. Our goal is to give you the best possible fishing experience and the biggest catch—no matter your budget.
We can also tailor your accommodation to match your preferences, offering options from 3- to 5-star hotels and beachfront resorts to authentic fishing lodges, ensuring your fishing trip is perfectly designed just for you.
Yes, all the fishing boats we work with all over Costa Rica are chartered exclusively for you and your group, complete with experienced captains and professional fishing guides on board. Each vessel comes fully equipped with top-quality fishing gear, bait, and safety equipment, and includes lunch, snacks, water, soft drinks, and beer.
No, you don’t need to bring any fishing gear when joining a fishing trip in Costa Rica. All the boats we work with are fully equipped with everything you need — from rods and reels to bait and safety equipment. The gear is high-quality and suited to the local fishing conditions.
If you prefer to bring your own favorite equipment, you’re more than welcome to — but it’s definitely not necessary.
The only exception is that not all boats carry fly-fishing gear. If that’s your preferred style of fishing, just let us know in advance, and we’ll match you with the right boat — or you can bring your own fly gear.
Yes, a fishing license is required for both local and international sport fishermen. You can obtain an 8-day, monthly, or annual fishing license through Incopesca (which stands for the Costa Rica Institute of Fishing and Aquaculture), the official government agency.
An 8-day fishing license costs $17, and a monthly license costs $28, and you can purchase them online before your trip: FISHING LICENSE

Costa Rica truly offers an angler’s paradise, where both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts deliver incredible action year-round — from trophy Marlin and Sailfish offshore to hard-fighting Roosterfish and Tarpon closer to shore.
Costa Rica offers world-class sportfishing all year round!
The Pacific Coast shines from December to April, during the dry season, with calm seas, sunny skies, and temperatures around 28–35°C (82–95°F) — perfect for offshore and inshore adventures.
From May to November, the Green Season brings occasional rain, but plenty of great fishing days and warm tropical weather.
On the Caribbean side, Tarpon fishing is incredible year-round, peaking in September and October when the weather is at its best.
No matter when you come, Tulu Travel will match you with the right destination and season for your dream fishing experience!
Absolutely! At Tulu Travel, we specialize in creating trips that offer something for everyone. We can easily arrange a fishing trip for those who want to head out on the water, while the rest of the family relaxes on the beach or enjoys another excursion that suits them better. That way, everyone gets the most out of your well-deserved vacation.
In Costa Rica, it’s customary to tip the crew after each fishing trip as a token of appreciation for their hard work. The amount is entirely up to you, but a typical guideline is $20–$100+ USD per day per angler. Many crews are used to American guests who often tip around 10–20% of the charter cost, though this is by no means required — it is, however, greatly appreciated by the crew.
