Fishing Expeditions Designed to Meet Your High Expectations

Fishing Expeditions Designed to Meet Your High Expectations


Costa Rica is not just a legendary fishing and vacation destination. At Crocodile Bay, it’s much more than that. We deliver fishing expeditions to meet the highest expectations—adventures that other resorts wouldn’t dare dream of and couldn’t dare offer. With the largest fishing fleet in Costa Rica, we create custom angling packages for anglers of all experience levels and all fantasies. Let us be your guide.

We’re located on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica—on the Southern Pacific Coast—where we fish in the famous and fertile waters off Costa Rica and Panama. For the past 24 years, our fishing team has provided offshore sportfishing adventures for black marlin, blue marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, massive mahi-mahi, and world class wahoo. For inshore fishing expeditions, our crew will hook you up with roosterfish, cubera snappers, bluefin trevally, amber and amalco jacks along with a variety of snapper and grouper species. It’s why Crocodile Bay is where the world comes to fish!
