BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN FOR THE 2026–2027 FISHING SEASON

From November 2026 to April 2027, book a full fishing stay or individual days.

SPORT FISHING IN SÁMARA, COSTA RICA

Roosterfish, red snapper, groupers, jacks, yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, swordfish and marlin.

Located on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, our fishing center in Playa Sámara offers inshore and offshore fishing trips using a variety of techniques, including lure fishing, jigging, slow jigging and trolling.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO SPORT FISHING

With no deep-water fishing port on the Nicoya Peninsula, Sámara offers direct access to the Pacific Ocean and excellent opportunities for sport fishing.

“Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, what matters most is fishing and sharing the experience. We practice Catch & Release, use single hooks on our lures and handle fish carefully to return them to the water in the best possible condition.”

Gregory, Captain

TESTIMONIALS

Yannick Deslandes, France – 02/2021

November 2020, fed up with covid and with my wife we decide to go to spend a fortnight in Samara (Costa Rica) with two couples of friends. Being all three fishermen we decided to do a few days of fishing with Greg from Samara Fishing Trip, who, with the help of his wife Esmeralda, concocted for us beautiful days at sea. As everywhere fishing can be complicated but also extraordinary and we lived both situations with Greg and Johnny his sailor. We had the pleasure to catch jacks, sierras, yellowfin tuna, corbina and of course the famous roosterfish and all this with a good atmosphere on board. If you wish to spend good moments of fishing on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica do not hesitate to contact them and they will make you spend great moments as well on sea as on ground.

Cyril Besancon, Switzerland – 03 / 2021

We came to spend 6 days fishing at Samara Fishing Trip. Esmeralda and Greg are very welcoming and did everything to make our stay as good as possible. We had a very difficult week of fishing but we managed to get out of it with a lot of effort: yellowfin tuna, jacks, roosterfish, cuberas, snappers… The boat is very comfortable and Esme’s hearty meals are excellent! A magnificent adventure guided by passionate people who have become friends. Thanks again for all these good moments. Pura Vida. Cyril Besançon

Viviane and Daniel France – mars 2020

Red carp, rooster fish, jacks, yellow and black tunas… a glimpse of what is possible in Samara Playa. Gregory and Jhonny worked hard to make us discover the best fishing spots in this area of the Guanacaste. From the equipment, to the boat to the electronics, everything on board is impeccable. An exotic fishing with all the excitement, suspense, combat, merit and respect both for the fishermen and their expectations and for the fish… served with friendliness and complicity. A little nod to Esméralda who prepares the meals for lunch as well as small culinary attentions such as pancakes for coffee in the morning. We recommend Samara Fishing Trip! Viviane and Daniel.”
