Who runs it
Sea Breeze is the work of Capt. Noah, who grew up working on boats with his family and has spent more than a decade on the water in Tamarindo, and his partner Darcy, who works as first mate and handles guests in English, Spanish and French. They started the business in 2018. Two more captains, Edgar and José, help run the boats.
It's one of the most-reviewed charters in town: about 480 reviews on its main FishingBooker listing, with trips logged through July 2026, and it has won FishingBooker's Anglers' Choice award.
The boats
Sea Breeze keeps things small, which suits inshore fishing and families.
Larroche
A 26-foot Century walk-around center console with a 250 hp Yamaha four-stroke and a small kicker motor as a backup. It has shaded, cushioned seats up front, a portable toilet in the console, outriggers, tuna tubes, a live bait well and GPS, fish finder and VHF.
Let It Be
A 23-foot Sea Ray center console, also with a 250 hp Yamaha four-stroke and a backup motor, front seating, a shaded console and an open fishing area.
Each takes up to 4 anglers. Tackle includes Penn and Daiwa reels and jigging rods. The FishingBooker listing describes Larroche with twin 150 hp Yamahas, while the company's own site says a single 250, so ask if the engine setup matters to you.
Where you'll board
You meet the crew on Tamarindo beach in front of El Chiringuito restaurant, the usual meeting point for Tamarindo boats, and head out to the boat from the sand. Pickup from hotels isn't included.
What you'll fish for
Offshore, Sea Breeze trolls for sailfish, blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi and wahoo. Inshore, it fishes for roosterfish, red snapper, grouper and jacks, with jigging and popping as well as bait. In Guanacaste, sailfish are best from about May to August, mahi-mahi from July to December, and roosterfish from January to April. From December to March, strong offshore winds often send Tamarindo boats south to find calmer water.
Trips run from early November to about September 20, so the boats take a break during the wettest weeks of late September and October.
Release practice
The listing says roosterfish, sailfish and marlin are always released, and the company is an active partner of Gray FishTag Research, so guests can tag a billfish or tuna before it goes back. Tagged fish help scientists learn where these fish travel. You can keep eating fish such as snapper, tuna and mahi-mahi, and the crew fillets them. Our guide to releasing a billfish explains good handling.
How to book
Message +506 8572 6853 on WhatsApp, call +1 603 852 6307 from North America, email [email protected], or book on its website or FishingBooker. There are 4-hour morning and afternoon half days, a 3/4 day and a full day; snacks and drinks come on every trip and lunch on the longer ones. Sea Breeze also runs snorkel, surf and birdwatching trips. Each angler needs an INCOPESCA fishing licence, bought online before you go. For the rest of the coast, see our complete guide to fishing in Guanacaste.
