All Anglers Welcome
With more than 17 years of experience, we have made Costa Rica one of the top sport fishing destinations in the world. Our goal has been to furnish our clients with first-class accommodations and first-class fishing boats in order to provide them with the best fishing opportunities in Costa Rica, for both the experienced fisherman as well as beginners. Based on our reputation, we've been featured on several ESPN shows, including the 2002 Walker's Cay Chronicles with Flip Pallot.
We are an ecology-conscious operation and make every attempt to preserve and conserve the environment in Costa Rica; we practice 100% catch and release. For the Good Day Team, your fishing trip begins once you land in Costa Rica. Let us take care of everything while you have a GOOD DAY!
Are you a fly fishing expert or a beginner? The Costa Rica Charter boats and our professional crews can provide the ultimate fly fishing experience. We can provide the lessons, all the necessary tackle you'll need, or you can bring your own.
Unlike conventional tackle, fly fishing lets you get up close and personal with the fish. Teased right to the back of the boat, you'll be able to see your quarry, present the fly, hook the fish and watch the action begin. Quite honestly, there's no more exciting way to catch a Marlin, Sailfish or Dorado!

For all the boats in our fleet, our crew is prepared to provide our avid anglers with this growing technique. You'll find all the necessary equipment to before this blind casting technique.

This emotion can only be explained on the water, so don't wait to let us give you this experience of a lifetime.
