Arena Alta Sportfishing

Arena Alta Sportfishing is Costa Rica's premier sport fishing charter company, offering the finest fishing, adventure travel, hotels and beautiful beaches to be found in the Costa Rico’s southern zone of Playa Zancudo, Golfito, and the Golfo Dulce.  Fish aboard fast 28 ft. Magee Anglers, fully rigged with tournament grade tackle, state-of-the-art electronics and operated by bilingual captains and mates.  For anglers taking a day off from fishing and non-fishing guests, Alta Arena Adventures provides activities from jungle tours and sea kayaking to snorkeling, botanical gardens and swimming with a school of Spinner Dolphins.

THE ARENA ALTA GUARANTEE:  We guarantee that you will catch fish during the months December through May.  If you don't hook a Sailfish on a charter of three days or more, you can return for the same package next year for FREE.

THE FISHING:  Costa Rican sport fishing is world renowned for its variety and quality.  The Golfo Dulce and the surrounding waters are the premier fishing grounds in all of Costa Rica.  Great offshore fishing is found within 45 minutes.  Inshore and river fishing are within a stones throw of our dock.  Offshore fishing for billfish, Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna is the most dramatic and exciting of all fishing experiences.  It is the most popular adventure.  Snapper, Jack Cravelle, Amberjack and African Pompano abound around the structures of the deep waters of the Golfo Dulce.  Roosterfish are around at all depths in the Golfo Dulce.  Roosterfish is pound for pound one of the most aggressive fish in all of these fertile waters.  Beautiful and tranquil waters passing through many square miles of mangroves in small channels and large rivers provide the setting for an extraordinary river fishing experience.  Mangrove Snapper, Snook, and Corbina lay just beneath the submerged roots waiting to strike.

These "home waters" hold 40 IGFA world fishing records!
