Fishing Charters in Santa Teresa
Local captains, local boats, and a cook who will turn your catch into dinner.
Boats launch from Santa Teresa and nearby Tambor depending on the swell and the day. Inshore trips work well for families and first-timers; offshore days go further out for bigger pelagic fish and need calmer conditions and an earlier start.
If you catch something, we can arrange for a chef to cook it at your villa that evening — which is, reliably, the best meal of anyone’s trip.
Your options
Half-day inshore
Shorter, calmer, good with kids or a mixed group.
Full-day offshore
Early start, further out, larger fish.
Sunset trip
Shorter evening run, more about the water than the catch.

Frequently asked
- Where do the boats leave from?
- Usually Santa Teresa beach or Tambor, depending on swell and the type of trip. We confirm the launch point the day before.
- Can we keep and eat the fish?
- Yes, on most trips. We can arrange a private chef to cook it at your villa the same evening.
- What if the weather turns?
- The captain decides on safety grounds. If a trip is called off you are not charged.
