Pick-up from JW Marriott Guanacaste

JW Marriott Guanacaste sits at Hacienda Pinilla, in the south near Tamarindo. The shore in front of the resort is too rocky to board a boat safely. So we drive you north to the beach at Flamingo, and a dinghy takes you out to the boat there.

We are not affiliated with JW Marriott Guanacaste.

Questions

Where do you pick me up at JW Marriott Guanacaste?

JW Marriott Guanacaste sits at Hacienda Pinilla, in the south near Tamarindo. The shore in front of the resort is too rocky to board a boat safely. So we drive you north to the beach at Flamingo, and a dinghy takes you out to the boat there.

What time do trips start?

Boats typically leave at 7:30 a.m., but the start time is flexible. We agree it with you when you book.

How long are the trips?

You can book 4, 6 or 8 hours. A shorter trip suits the inshore water; the full day is for offshore.

Can I fish inshore and offshore?

Yes. Inshore stays near the coast and the rocky points. Offshore runs out to deep water for billfish, dorado and tuna.

Do I need fishing experience?

No. The captain and crew set everything up and show you what to do, so beginners and families are welcome.

Do I need a fishing license?

Yes. Costa Rica requires one by law for every angler. It is not part of the charter price. You buy it before the trip, online from INCOPESCA. Feel free to ask, we can provide guidance. Apply for the license
