The 42 ft. yacht, powered by twin turbo charged Cat engines allows larger parties to fish while enjoying the spacious, comfort and amenities of a larger craft. All El Ocotal s boats carry an array of 20 to 80 pound Penn International trolling rods and reels and spin tackle. El Ocotal s private marine radio repeater station allows reliable communication between boats and the base station. Lead by head captain Paulo Garcia, Costa Rica s most experienced Pacific coast skippers, all crews are both professional and accommodations, loaded with a life time of local fishing knowledge, but eager and willing to try new or different techniques. El Ocotal crews can put fishermen on the fish.
All captains have a knowledge of English, especially with regards to their trade.
The eight hour day generally includes a one hour run time and 6 hours of fishing. With our 28 ft. platform pontoon, getting to and from your boat is easy and dry. With certified weigh scales on the beach awaiting a record catch, hotel staff greet fishermen to weigh and prepare fish for the night s dinner and transport guests to their individual rooms. El Ocotal believes strongly in the preservation of our fishing resources and encourages all bill fish and non-eating fish to be released. Our crews are extremely knowledgeable and experienced in how to correctly release fish to insure highest probability of survival.
