We offer the first and most experienced sport fishing fleet in the exotic Pacific waters of Nicaragua. Fishing Nicaragua aboard our fleet will give you the opportunity to run offshore in search of monster fish like marlin in the Pacific Ocean as well as the tackle busting rooster fish, inshore. You can even battle giant tarpon, snook, guapote (rainbow bass), and machacas in Lake Nicaragua and on the Rio San Juan, year round. This country's beautiful landscape made up of rivers, lakes, volcanoes, and tropical forest create an idealistic backdrop for all anglers.

Nicaragua has not been fished recreationally until recently, which guarantees its lack of sport fishing pressure. If you want to experience a renewed world-class fishery, let us guide you to an unforgettable fishing adventure.

The peak season for San Juan del Sur is June through September.
Fishing action starts picking up in late March / early April when the winds start to die down.

The inshore Pacific waters off the Nicaraguan coast are teeming with a wide variety of fish such as rooster fish, sierra mackerel, jack crevalle, bonito, hound fish, snapper, grouper, snook. The rooster fish average 30lbs with the occasional monster. If you choose not to run offshore you can try for sailfish close to shore along currents. We have caught sailfish in 50 feet of water! Occasionally you will run into dorado, yellowfin and wahoo, although not nearly as abundant as offshore.

Offshore you will encounter black blue, and striped marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and dorado. The prime months out of San Juan del Sur are from May through October. The fishing season is longer out of the Marina Puesta del Sol Resort, in the north. Our fast boats will quickly get you offshore and back. Offshore fishing consists of running 30 plus miles to get to the humps and the drop. We are billfish and game fish friendly, so we practice catch and release with all billfish and roosterfish!
