Your Tamarindo Sport Fishing Adventure
Step aboard Blue Runner, our 28' Century Walk Around built for serious anglers and first-timers alike. Powered by brand new 2026 twin Suzuki 150HP motors and rigged with professional Shimano rods and reels, Blue Runner is ready to take you where the fish are biting across Tamarindo and Guanacaste's world-class Pacific waters.
With a maximum of 5 guests, Blue Runner delivers a truly intimate, private experience, no strangers, no crowds, just your group and the open ocean. Whether you're targeting sailfish offshore or roosterfish inshore, Captain Juan and his deep local knowledge will put you on the fish every time.
Everything is taken care of gear, bait, drinks, snacks, and a full lunch on longer trips. Show up, fish, and make memories.
Deep Sea Fishing in Tamarindo
The offshore waters of Tamarindo drop into the deep Pacific just miles from shore, putting big-game fish within striking distance. Aboard Blue Runner, we run professional trolling gear and fish the proven deep sea fishing grounds that produce Tamarindo's most legendary catches.
Sailfish Fishing Tamarindo
Sailfish are the superstar of Costa Rica's Pacific waters and Tamarindo is world-famous for them. Fast, acrobatic, and absolutely electric on the line, a sailfish fight is bucket-list material. The dry season (December–April) is peak time, but sailfish are caught year-round here.
Marlin Fishing Costa Rica
Blue Marlin and Black Marlin are the ultimate trophy fish. Tamarindo's offshore grounds give you a genuine shot at marlin year-round. When one takes the bait, the fighting chair on Blue Runner gives you the leverage to land it.
Inshore Fishing Tamarindo
Not every great fish lives offshore. Tamarindo's coastal waters deliver hard-fighting inshore species perfect for half-day trips, families, or anyone who wants non-stop action closer to shore. The iconic Roosterfish , with its dramatic comb fin and ferocious strikes, is one of the most exciting catches in Costa Rica.
Your Expert Guide on the Water
Meet Captain Juan — Local Tamarindo Fishing Expert
Captain Juan is a true Tamarindo local who has spent his entire life on these Pacific waters. Growing up in Tamarindo, he learned to read the ocean, the currents, the tides, the seasonal migrations, and the hidden spots that only someone who grew up here would ever know.
Want to chase big game offshore sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna? Or would you rather work the inshore reefs for roosterfish, snapper, and grouper? Captain Juan adapts to you, reading the conditions on the day and always putting your group in the best possible position to catch fish.
He's patient with beginners and skilled at coaching first-timers, while also bringing the depth of knowledge that experienced anglers demand. Fishing with Captain Juan isn't just a charter it's a genuine Tamarindo experience with a local who truly loves what he does.
