The new Palm Beach cold-molded sportfishing boats are powered by Caterpillar 3116 turbo diesels. We carry a full range of Penn International and Shimano reels in all weight classes, for the fly fisherman we specialize in Billy Pates fly reels and Sage rods. Our professional captains (all English speaking) and crew are anxious to be part of your record-breaking vacation.

Aguila’s professionally trained mechanics constantly maintain the boats to the highest possible standards for your safety and enjoyment. Our boats meet all the U.S. Coast Guard safety regulations with lifejackets, flares, GPS, and VHF radios. In addition, we are equipped with a special frequency that enables us to reach a far greater distance than the normal marine radios in case of an emergency.

Thrilled by spectacular runs of marlin, sailfish, dorado, wahoo, rooster fish, and numerous other species of big game fish, guests can take advantage of our 1/2 day or full day fishing charters. At Aguila de Osa Inn practices responsible catch and release fishing techiques and the oldest operation to use circle hooks.

As always, we can customize any fishing vacation at no additional charge in order to fit your budget and time schedule.
