Why You Should Book Your Tamarindo Fishing Charter Directly with the Boat Owners
If you’re planning a fishing trip to Tamarindo, Costa Rica, there’s one important tip you need to know:
Book directly with the boat owners, not through a third-party platform.
At Tamarindo Surf & Tours, we own the boats you’ll be fishing on: the 28’ Century Walk Around “Blue Runner 1” or the 35’ Cabo Express “Chasin’ Fins.” That means you’re booking straight with the local crew, without the middleman, and getting the best service at the best price.
Why Booking Direct is Always Better
When you book through an OTA (online travel agency), hotel concierge, or random reseller online, they usually charge a 15% to 30% commission. That cost either comes out of your pocket, or out of the service quality.
But when you book directly with us, you:
-
Get the lowest possible price (no commissions added)
-
Deal with real local guides, not sales reps
-
Have direct contact for customizing your experience
-
Get better flexibility, faster responses, and more perks
We’re a family business. We fish these waters every week. You’re not just a number, you’re our guest.
Meet the Boats We Actually Own
We’re proud to offer two top-tier fishing boats, both locally operated and lovingly maintained.
Blue Runner 1 – 28’ Century Walk Around
Perfect for half-day or offshore fishing, Blue Runner is agile, fast, and reliable. It features twin Suzuki 150HP engines, a shaded area, a clean bathroom, Bluetooth speakers, and a livewell for bait. This boat is great for families, casual anglers, and smaller groups.
Chasin’ Fins – 35’ Cabo Express
This beauty is fully loaded for offshore fishing. With two 435HP Caterpillar engines, A/C cabin, kitchen, Wi-Fi, lounge space, bathroom, and a powerful sound system, it’s built for full-day adventures. Want to chase sailfish or marlin in total comfort? This is your ride.
Local Knowledge You Can’t Buy
Our captain, David, was born and raised in Tamarindo. He’s spent more time on the ocean than most people spend in their cars. Fun fact about him, he actually got his capitan’s license before owning his drivers license.
We don’t rely on guesswork or luck, we fish based on real-time knowledge of tides, bait, and seasonal patterns. We know where the mahi-mahi are running, when the tuna come close to shore, and how to chase the big ones offshore.
When you book with us, you fish with locals who care.
