Grizzly Expeditions > Fishing in Costa Rica
COSTA RICA

With Grizzly Expeditions, there is NO limit to adventure... which is why we are extremely excited to bring you all the way down to the beatiful Central American country of Costa Rica for a brand new 7-Day fishing trip!

CR1

Rick and Lori have actually been fishing Costa Rica with clients since the mid 1990's, out with many different captains on many different boats. Although there is no shortage of fishing captains in Costa Rica, this particular trip will take you out with Captain Bobby McGuinness of the Cazador. Also known as the "fish magnet", Bobby holds almost 200 IGFA world records (more than any other captain in Costa Rica) set throughout 30 years of fishing. Grizzly Expeditions chooses Bobby to captain this trip because, well, he is the best there is.

The Cazador is a 37-foot Merritt Sportfisher powered by twin 450HP Cummins diesel engines, developing a cruising speed of 27 knots. She is equipped with the absolute latest in fishing technology, including GPS, color video sounder, radar, VHF and SSB radio, USCG safety equipment, live well, fighting chair, Penn International and Shimano reels with custom built rods and Billy Pate fly reels with Orvis fly rods. These are all things that aid in keeping the trip fun, producing unbeatable results and most importantly, staying safe!

The Cazador

Your trip starts at your arrival in San Jose, Costa Rica, where our pre-arranged van will pick you up and bring you to the Sleep Inn, a newly built 4 story hotel located right in the heart of the Capital, near almost all of the tourist attractions the city has to offer. The following day, the driver will take you to the airport for your flight to the coast in Golfito, by way of Nature Air (Costa Rica's leading independent domestic airline, offering daily flights from San Jose to most of the country's top tourist and sportfishing destinations) NOTE: There is a 40lb per person baggage limit. Excess baggage is charged according to weight. Also, if you weight over 300lbs, you will be required to purchase a second plane ticket!


Following the 55 minute flight, we'll arrive in Golfito for a 5 minute ride to the lodge - then the rest of the day is yours! The hotel, Las Gaviotas, overlooks Golfo Dulce and features a spacious open lounge finished with native woods (Rosewood and Teak), a gift shop, bar and restaurant, fitness room, hiking trails, internet service and a very nice swimming pool with a fantastic view. All rooms are air conditioned and have ceiling fans, cable TV and a small kitchenette for light cooking.
