3/4 Day Inshore Charter Quepos
Our 3/4 day inshore charter gives you more time on Costa Rica's spectacular inshore waters without committing to a full offshore adventure. Departing at 7:00 AM from Quepos Marina, you'll spend 6–7 hours working the beaches, rocky points, and reef structures of Manuel Antonio National Park — the heart of roosterfish and snapper territory on the Central Pacific.
This charter is the perfect upgrade from the half-day for anglers who want more time to explore different spots, target multiple species, or simply enjoy more hours on the water with our expert local captain and first mate. Returning by 2:00 PM, you'll still have the afternoon free to enjoy Manuel Antonio.
If you're looking to target sailfish, blue marlin, or yellowfin tuna in the deep Pacific, our 3/4 day and full-day offshore charters put you in trophy fish territory.

Best Time for Inshore Fishing in Quepos
Inshore fishing in Quepos is productive year-round — but certain months offer exceptional action for specific species. Here's what to expect on a 3/4 day inshore charter through the year.
May through October is our favorite window for inshore fishing — warmer water temperatures push roosterfish and snapper close to shore along the beaches of Manuel Antonio National Park. That said, our captains find fish year-round.

3/4 Day Inshore Charter — Frequently Asked Questions
What fish can I catch on the 3/4 day inshore charter?
The main targets are roosterfish, cubera snapper, and jack crevalle — with sierra mackerel, needlefish, and ladyfish as additional action species. Your captain will focus on whatever is most active on the day of your charter based on current conditions.
What's the difference between the half-day and 3/4 day inshore?
Is the 3/4 day inshore suitable for kids and beginners?
Absolutely. Inshore fishing is calmer than offshore — you’ll be working coastal waters rather than open ocean. Kids are welcome on board; life vests are required for children. Our bilingual captain and mate will help everyone get comfortable and fishing quickly.
What's included in the price?
Everything you need to fish — all rods, reels, bait and tackle, soft drinks, beer, water, fresh fruit, chips and pretzels, INCOPESCA fishing licenses, and cleaning and filleting of your catch. Just show up and fish.
Can we keep the fish we catch?
Yes — you’re welcome to keep legal species. Our crew will clean and fillet your catch on board so you can take it home and cook it. Roosterfish are catch-and-release only as they are not good eating and are more valuable as a sport fish resource.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance during peak season (December–April and July–September). That said, we often have availability on shorter notice — contact us on WhatsApp for the fastest response on current availability.
