Pacific Game Fish of Playa Potrero

Few stretches of coastline in Costa Rica pack as many trophy species into a single morning as the waters off Playa Potrero. The volcanic structures and warm currents along the Guanacaste coast hold roosterfish, cubera snapper, snook, and corvina close to shore year-round, while the Pacific bluewater just offshore runs with sailfish, marlin, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna on their seasons. The four below are the species our captains return to the dock with most often — explore the full list to plan your sport fishing charter.
