Fishing in Nosara, Costa Rica
What makes Nosara a world-class fishing destination
Nosara is renowned as one of Costa Rica's premier fishing destinations. Located on the Nicoya Peninsula in Guanacaste province, this area benefits from unique oceanographic features that create exceptional fishing opportunities just minutes from shore.
The continental shelf drops off rapidly near Nosara, bringing deep, nutrient-rich waters close to shore. These conditions attract a remarkable variety of game fish species throughout the year, making Nosara fishing charters productive in any season.
Seasonal fishing highlights in Nosara:
- December-April (Dry Season): Peak billfish season with abundant Sailfish and Marlin opportunities. Excellent conditions with calmer seas.
- May-August: Mahi-Mahi (Dorado) season begins, with strong Yellowfin Tuna action offshore. Inshore fishing for Roosterfish remains productive.
- September-November: Continued excellent fishing for Mahi-Mahi, with Marlin numbers increasing. Some of the year's largest Yellowfin Tuna are often caught during this period.
With Nice'n Tight Sportfishing, you'll experience the very best that Nosara has to offer. Our two specialized vessels allow us to tailor your fishing experience perfectly, whether you're looking to battle billfish offshore or target roosterfish along the coast.
