Costa Rica has a wide range of boats to be chartered by those who approach this beautiful country to practice high-rise sports fishing.

The Amateur Fishing Club and the National Fishing Club are an excellent way not only to meet local fishermen, but also to learn new techniques from them. Both clubs have bilingue staff.
