Every trip is designed to give you the best opportunity for an unforgettable day on the water. With quality equipment, a dedicated crew, and the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions, the focus is always on finding fish—not just logging hours offshore.

Whether you’re chasing trophy roosterfish, tuna, mahi-mahi, sailfish, marlin, or any of Costa Rica’s incredible game fish, every charter is planned around the day’s conditions to maximize your chances of success. We don’t believe in trolling around aimlessly or sitting in one spot hoping the fish come to us. We actively hunt fish by reading the conditions, covering water, and making adjustments throughout the day. If Plan A isn’t producing, we’ll move to Plan B, C, or D. If the fish move, we’ll move too.

From experienced anglers to first-time fishermen, everyone is welcome aboard. Expect a safe, professional, and relaxed atmosphere where hard work, local knowledge, and great customer service come together to create an authentic Costa Rican fishing experience. Every trip is run with one goal in mind: giving you the best possible opportunity to catch quality fish and create memories that will last a lifetime.

    would absolutely fish with them again.

    Full Day Offshore on August 29, 2026 • 2 adults

    Great day on the water with Deep Republic Fishing Charters! Captain Josh and First Mate Bradley were both excellent, knowledgeable, and worked hard all day. We landed a beautiful sailfish, mahi, and some red snapper and grouper while deep dropping. The whole crew was fantastic. The boat was great, especially the beanbag chair! I’d absolutely fish with them again. This boat will get you on the fish!

    Not afraid to chase the fish

    Full Day Offshore on May 11, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a great experience with Josh and his crew. Like Josh says he’s not afraid to burn Gas to chase the fish. We were targeting tuna and hooked into a few. Boat size was great especially to get out of the sun between runs. Would definitely booking again

    Deep Republic Offshore Charter

    Special 6 hour trip for Brandon Davidson on April 7, 2026 • 5 adults

    Our trip with Deep Republic was awesome. Unfortunately it was a slower day but we still managed to get one sailfish to the boat. Josh and his crew were great, professional, and friendly. They were working hard the entire time to get us on fish and the snacks and refreshments on board were a huge plus. If you are considering a fishing charter I highly recommend Deep Republic!

    Josh and Crew Delivered!

    Full Day Offshore on April 1, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    My son and I had giant sails on the bucket list and Josh and Crew, Bradley and Chino, delivered with 4 huge ones! What a totally insane day! Dolphins chasing the boat doing acrobatics. Hunting sails, seeing them come from a distance. A total thrill! And some snapper on the way back.

    Father/Son Trip

    Full Day Offshore on March 30, 2026 • 4 adults

    It was quite hot even for Costa Rica during our trip and the fish just weren’t biting. Captain Josh had us running all day trying to find fish and while we didn’t get quantity, we got quality. One of the boys brought an amazing sailfish in that he will rememeber for a lifetime.

    Awesome crew and experience

    3/4 Day Offshore on June 11, 2025 • 4 adults

    We had an amazing time with Josh and Dani today. Had to make a hard run to get to the tuna but had a fantastic day. These guys were prepared, experienced, a lot of fun and extremely kind and patient with my 3 teenage kids. I was very impressed with the preparation and effort and beyond pleased with the results. Highly recommend these guys. And the absence of any language barrier is a bonus. Can’t complain about Spanish in Costa Rica but English speaking captain and mate makes things so much easier.

    Rain and Fishing

    Morning Reef Bite on November 6, 2024 • 2 adults

    Josh and his crew are a bunch of nice guys that just want to see you catch fish. We were out on a pretty bumpy day and despite all of that we were able to get two really big fish. They made us feel comfortable and like they were friends and it was nice to chat with them and catch fish, this guy knows what he’s doing and wants to help you have a good time and is sincere. I highly recommend that you work with him and you use him as your fishing guide in Costa Rica. He even built his own boat, which is really cool and well maintained.
