El Castillo Hotel

El Castillo Hotel offers you two of the best sport fishing charters in southern Costa Rica.

Costa Rica World Class Sport Fishing

Costa Rica is well known for its deep, blue, crystalline waters that offer some of the most magnificent fishing experiences in the world.
The Osa Penninsula and Drake Bay, often referred to as the "gem of Costa Rica", has diverse wilderness areas, beautiful scenery and world class wild life viewing. These waters off of Drake Bay offer world class bill fishing and instead of seasonal fishing, boast a wide array of species throughout the year.
Following is a list of species abundant in the southern Costa Rica waters:

Rooster Fish - Dorado - Sailfish - Snook - Marlin - Wahoo - Tuna

Other species like Kingfish, Spanish and Cero Mackerel, Jack Crevalle and Barracuda are abundant close to shore anytime through the year when the ocean is flat.
