Remote Big Game Fishing Expeditions

What species can I target?

Depending on destination: trophy striped, black, and blue marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo; dorado, roosterfish, snapper, grouper, and bluefin trevally. The Galapagos is world-renowned for striped marlin, with 30–50 sightings per day not uncommon. Costa Rica offers year-round mixed inshore and offshore action.

How far in advance should I book?

For Panama 3 to 6 months ahead is strongly recommended. Costa Rica is available year-round with more flexibility, but peak season dates still fill quickly. Galapagos and Tahiti dates are strictly limited, and may only be available once per year. Contact me early to lock in your preferred window.

What’s included in a package?

All packages include expert guiding, fully equipped vessels, all rods, reels, and tackle for every target species, and accommodations, ranging from wilderness lodges in Panama to boutique hotels in Costa Rica. Meals vary by destination. I’ll send you a full itinerary once we discuss your dates.

How much does a trip cost?

Every trip is custom-quoted, cost depends on where you’re going, when, how many anglers, and how many days on the water. As a rough range, trips typically run $3000 – $6000 for two fishermen. Tell me where and when you’d like to fish, and I’ll work out the exact cost with you directly, most people find a quick call is the fastest way to get a real number.

Which destination is right for me?

If you want the most off-grid experience I offer, with zero other boats on the water, Panama is where most serious anglers who reach out end up going.

First-time remote anglers do well starting with Costa Rica, thanks to year-round availability, easy access, and incredible species variety. Experienced big game anglers chasing a world-record experience gravitate to the Galapagos for its unmatched marlin density. And if Panama’s off-grid appeal is exactly what you’re after but you want to go even further, Tahiti’s atolls are about as remote as fishing gets.

Is this suitable for families or groups?

Yes, many trips are booked by small groups of 2 to 6 anglers, including father-son trips and corporate retreats. Costa Rica is the most family-accessible with comfortable lodging and diverse non-fishing activities nearby. Panama and Tahiti are better suited to experienced travelers comfortable with remote conditions.
