Monster Fishing is a premier sport fishing charter service based at the world-class Marina Pez Vela in Quepos, Costa Rica. Led by Captain Jose Andrés Soto, an experienced guide with over 27 years navigating Central Pacific waters, Monster Fishing delivers world-class private offshore, inshore, and deep-drop fishing charters designed for anglers of all skill levels.
Located minutes from Manuel Antonio, Quepos is globally renowned for its diverse marine ecosystem and year-round game fish populations. Monster Fishing operates aboard a top-tier 32-foot Robalo powered by twin 200 HP Suzuki engines, combining speed, stability, and comfort for up to six guests. The vessel features full Garmin navigation electronics, VHF radio, safety gear, a live bait well, top-quality fishing tackle, and an onboard portable restroom.
Offshore fishing trips target trophy Pacific pelagics, including blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, Pacific sailfish, yellowfin tuna, and wahoo. Captain Jose uses proven trolling, live-baiting, and dead-bait techniques to place guests directly over active feeding zones, with a strict commitment to catch-and-release billfishing. For inshore anglers, trips navigate the rocky islands and coastal reefs around Quepos and Manuel Antonio to catch hard-fighting roosterfish and massive cubera snapper. Monster Fishing also specializes in deep-drop fishing at 300-foot depths for prized table species like red snapper and grouper. Guests can keep legal catches such as tuna, wahoo, and snapper, with professional fish cleaning and filleting included on every trip.
Monster Fishing offers flexible half-day (4-hour), three-quarter-day (6-hour), and full-day (8-hour) private charters tailored for serious fishermen, first-time anglers, and families with children. Dogs are also welcome onboard. All charters are all-inclusive, providing premium rods and reels, fresh live bait, ice-cold water and beer, fresh fruit, cake, and lunch on longer trips. Custom food and drink arrangements or premium pre-purchases can also be organized prior to departure.
Whether you want to hook your first sailfish, chase giant yellowfin tuna, or enjoy a family-friendly coastal fishing adventure in Costa Rica, Monster Fishing delivers an unforgettable Pacific sport fishing experience. Book your private Quepos fishing charter today to fish with one of Central America’s most dedicated local captains.
