Sail Fish Quepos offers charters into the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean and specializes in sailfish. January and February are the top months for catching
sailfish. Quepos charters use the bally-hoo, "on the fly," live bait and spinning reel methods to land sport fish. Off-shore fishing trips can be arranged for one to three days. All trips include a fish barbecue and drinks while on the boat, fishing gear and tackle, beer and soft drinks. Bring a sun hat, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen and a lightweight, long-sleeve windbreaker. A camera is recommended. Look for sea turtles and sea birds while fishing the waters off the coast.
