Hosted Crocodile Bay Resort | Big Game Fishing
Sportquest Holidays fully hosted big game fishing has been running for many years now and the results we have achieved are excellent with many large Marlin and near record sized Roosters, this holiday has proven very popular with single anglers or small groups looking at joining like-minded anglers from across the globe. Along with your host you will travel to this stunning part of the world and benefit from their vast amount of knowledge of this style of fishing. Joining our hosted trips offers other benefits than just the fishing and that’s meeting other people with the same interests and forming close friendships and even sometimes future travelling companions. The boats we use for our hosted trip are the large tower boats so everyone receives plenty of room and come fully equipped with all top brand fishing equipment free to use from the stand up and fight rods and reels to light rods for lure fishing. You will also find large cooler boxes full of cold drinks of your choice plus a huge variety of food freshly prepared at the hotel and loaded on to the boats every day. Another reason why this destination is so popular is the huge array of eco tours on offer meaning it is very family friendly, one day you could be out fishing chasing down striking billfish and the next trekking through the amazing rainforest located a short drive away. This is the definitive destination for exploration and restoration that surpasses imagination. Where unforgettable Costa Rica fishing expeditions meet rainforest safaris to inspire the ultimate sportsman’s bucket list adventure.
Location
Crocodile Bay Eco fishing resort is situated on 44 acres of manicured tropical gardens with 28 air-conditioned rooms in Puerto Jimenez on Costa Rica’s South Pacific Coast. The charming and rustic town of Puerto Jimenez is only a short 10 minute walk where you will find some lovely art and craft shops, supermarkets and some of the finest fish restaurants around this area and of course the fish cannot get much fresher. The resort, over the years, has built a very good reputation for its friendly staff and excellent service they provide and once you have spent a week’s holiday in their presence you will feel like a have built a great friendship that will last many years. Another reason why so many people head to this resort is the fishing especially the run of Sailfish, each year multiple catches per day are very common. The reason why the fishing is so very good in this part of the Pacific Ocean is due to the upwelling caused by the offshore winds to the north and south that moves bait fish into the area and leaves a flat calm ocean perfect for a day afloat searching for your chosen species.
Fishing
The fishing on this hosted trip offers anglers such a varied style of fishing and appeals to many different fishing practises from fly fishermen to lure anglers, it really does offer everything any angler will want. The offshore fishing offers many different options from trolling big Marlin lures and rigged baits for the Billfish, to tease and switch. Whilst fishing offshore you will come across huge shoals of Tuna and Dorado which can be caught either with lures, or by fly fishing and the standard trolling. The inshore fishing, again is varied from throwing poppers at feeding Roosters, vertical jig fishing for big Amber Jacks and Cubera Snappers and fly fishing for surface feeding species. The Billfish caught at Crocodile Bay are mainly Blue Marlin averaging around 300lb and the Sailfish average around 70lb with some even going over the 100lb bracket. Tuna to target would mainly be the Yellowfin Tuna and average sizes are between 20 – 50lb with the odd 100lb gracing the boats each week. Roosters average 25lb but there is always a chance of a huge one approaching the 100lb bracket, a real fish of a lifetime.
Boats
Included in this hosted holiday is the luxury 33’ and 35’ tower boats. All boats are kept up to a very high standard and are equipped with the most modern fish finding equipment, VHF radios and of course they are loaded with high quality fishing tackle free for you to use.
Guides
On these boats you will get a captain and a deck hand plus our host will split their time between all the boats to ensure that you have the best experience.
Other Activities
As briefly discussed, this is an Eco and Spa resort so there are many other activities to be visited whilst in Costa Rica. We have listed just a few very popular choices below, however there are many more which can be tailored to suit your group sizes. Simply ask a member of our staff and they can send you the full details:
Zip Line Canopy Tour – Miramar Canopy Zip-line Once a realm limited to scientific investigations, canopy exploration has quickly become one of the fastest growing and most sought after tour frontiers of the rainforest. We are now proud to offer one of Costa Rica’s finest and safest canopy tours.
Jungle Night Walk – Hunt or be hunted is the night time order of the rainforest, when many animals are active. In this tour we observe “survival of the fittest.” Night walking, as opposed to a day hike, is characterised by a much slower moving pace and a sharp inspecting eye.
Bird Watching Introduction – The wealth of Costa Rica’s avifauna, in itself, warrants a trip to our resort. With 854 species of birds in an area the size of West Virginia, Costa Rica is home to more bird species than vast continents like Europe, North America and Australia.
Crocodile And Cayman Tour – To come to this eco-resort and not see why it is called Crocodile Bay would be to miss a chance at a great story and to have that story corroborated by photos! Come with us to see and explore the beautiful lagoon where these big reptiles live naturally.
Mangrove Kayak or Sunset Kayak – You will paddle through the exotic and mysterious landscape of a river mangrove estuary. The serene passages of the river bring you silently alongside many beautiful aquatic birds: roseate spoonbills, boat-billed herons, and white ibis.
As you can see, a holiday to Crocodile Bay in Costa Rica isn’t just your normal fishing adventure, there is so much more on offer and its all there just waiting for you to make the best decision of your life.
Crocodile Bay resort is a destination for restoration and exploration and, of course, world-class sport fishing. It is set in 44 acres of lush tropical rainforest with some of the finest wild life on your doorstep. You simply have to stand on your own private balcony to view a huge variety of birds, butterflies and stunning tropical plants.
The friendly staff at Crocodile Bay will cater to your every need and will give you as much privacy as you desire, whilst helping you discreetly to enjoy an experience of a lifetime. You will be invited to fish from the biggest and best sport fishing fleet in south America, fishing a variety of inshore and offshore experiences for such fish as Roosters to the very popular Marlin.
The resort offers some of the finest land and water based eco tours, that you simply have to find time to add to your itinerary.
Crocodile Bay is a very small and intimate resort, where you can be as relaxed as you wish, or you can experience the thrills of lots of activities. With the resort only having 40 air-conditioned rooms, you never ever feel like you have to fight for a space.
The fantastic international and local cuisine restaurant will masterfully prepare your meal each day, whether it is fresh sushi, grilled fish or locally sourced meats, everything is guaranteed to tickle your taste buds, leaving you feel like you have had a culinary experience of a life-time.
The hotel we use in San Jose is located a short 5 minute taxi ride from the international airport and is world known for its excellent service. Located in the heart of San Jose, you will get a real feel of what Costa Rica has to offer. Hotel is surrounded by beautiful lush gardens and is within walking distance of Cariari Country Club golf course as well as one of the finest shopping centres.

Where is the Lodge?
Crocodile Bay Resort is located in a small village called Puerto Jimenez on the Pacific side of Costa Rica and is set amongst 44 acres of some of the most stunning tropical gardens in the whole of Costa Rica and when you have seen all the wonderful wildlife at this resort you will want to go back year after year.
Where do they fish?
If you chose to offshore fish then the fishing will be out in the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. The inshore fishing takes you along some of the most remote and beautiful deserted beaches in Costa Rica.
How long does it take to reach the fishing grounds?
The offshore fishing takes around 40 minutes to reach the drop off where you will start to find cobalt blue waters where the Billfish will be hunting their prey. Depending on what zones you will be inshore fishing, these can be anything from 20 minutes from Crocodile Bay Resort to 50 minutes as you will not be fishing the same inshore fishing grounds from day to day and will be done on a rotation basis.
What fish will I catch?
The main draw to Crocodile Bay Resort is the Sailfish as these are in huge numbers. The peak months for the huge numbers of Sailfish are between January and March. There are also many Blue Marlin that cruise the offshore waters. There are also large shoals of Dorado, which are great fun on light gear. You will also find many different species of Tuna. The inshore species list is huge but the main one is the Roosterfish these grow huge in Costa Rica. You will also catch all different types of snappers, jacks, barracuda, small shark species, African Pompano and Cubera Snapper.
How many fish will I catch?
When you are fishing offshore targeting Billfish it is a waiting game and you could spend a few hours trolling before you see any action from the Billfish. However, there are normally other species like the Dorado and Tuna. The inshore fishing is very different you should be expected to be kept very busy all day long with constant action from all the species you will be targeting. If you chose to troll with baits the action can be a little slower than if you lure fish all day.
How do they fish?
Each evening around the dinner table the fishing manager will come and see you to have a quick chat about what you want to fish for the following day. These are your boats so you decide what is targeted. The fishing manager then sits down with all the captains to decide where people fish. Each boat is given its own zones to fish so you do not troll over water that has already been fished over that day. Many of the areas are rested during the week as to give the fish a rest. When you are fishing offshore you will be mostly trolling lures and using the switch and tease method which is when they tease the fish to the back of the boat and you get to throw the bait. The inshore fishing is also mainly trolling but another very good method is to use lures as this will really get their predator instincts flowing.
Do the guides speak English?
The captains of the boats at Crocodile Bay Resort speak perfect English. Some of the deckhands speak broken English but enough to get by. If there is something complicated you need to tell the deckhand then simply ask the captain to ask them.
Who is best suited to this destination?
The beauty of Crocodile Bay Resort is that it is suitable for all levels of angling ability due to the Captains and deckhands they will make it as easy as you wish or as hard as you wish. They really are there to take all the stress out of the fishing. On the other hand, if you want a morehands-onn approach then this will be welcomed.
What skill level is required?
As we mentioned above, there is no skill level required fro the fishing at Crocodile Bay Resort as you will have a deck hand and captain who will assist in everything. You are more than welcome if you are a little more experienced to do everything and the deck hand will just make sure you have all the equipment that you will need for a days fishing.
How physically demanding is this trip?
On the whole Crocodile Bay Resort is not a physical demanding destination. There is a short walk from the lodge to the boats of around 5 minutes through the jungle but apart from that all the resort facilities are ground level and located in and around the hotel.
When to go?
If you want numbers of Sailfish then January to April, the Marlin starts to show up around the beginning of November along with the Dorado, the Marlin tend to thin out in numbers around the time when the first load of Sailfish turn up. The Tuna fishing is from November to July and the inshore fishing for Roosters is year round with the peak time being June.
How to get there?
The normal route is UK to either the US or Madrid then on to San Jose. If you time your holiday on certain days then we can arrange a direct flight from London Gatwick direct to San Jose Costa Rica. The second option of the direct flight only happens on certain days but we highly recommend taking this route to Crocodile Bay Resort as it cuts out the need for an American Visa.
What is the accommodation like?
Crocodile Bay Resort is set amongst some stunning lush tropical gardens and is in the heart of the rainforest. The main entrance to the lobby is stunning and very welcoming. You then walk through the lobby in to a bar / restaurant area which is where you will take your breakfast and evening meals. Just outside of this room is the swim up pool bar with Jacuzzi. Surrounding the pool are 12 very private rooms with their own balconies looking out in to the jungle. The rooms are very spacious with lovely en-suite bathrooms. In genera,l the whole atmosphere at Crocodile Bay Resort is very friendly and welcoming.
What is the food like?
Breakfast is served in the morning and there is a huge selection to choose from. You can have cereals, waffles, cooked breakfast, eggs on toast and if there isn’t something you like then they will fix it. Lunch is mainly taken on the boats and you will have the choice from lots of different sandwiches to salads plus lots and lots of fruit and drinks. The evening meals and very tasty and all produced from locally sourced farms. The food ranges from big Steaks to the catch of the day and again if there is something you really like that’s not on the menu all you have to do is ask.
Does the lodge provide fishing tackle?
The lodge provides all the tackle to spend a great days fishing even if its offshore or inshore. There is some fly-fishing equipment but it is very limited but most of the bait fishing and some lure fishing is included.
Is internet and phone signal available?
The phone signal and internet is good how ever the Wi-Fi is a little patchy when you get away from the main bar area but once at the bar the connection is very good
Are there other activities available?
At Crocodile Bay Resort it is all about eco tours and there are just too many to list. For example, you can spend the day shooting around on tree top zip lines then the next day you could find yourself on fully guided nature walks through the jungle spotting all different manner of animals and creepy crawlies. For full details of all the tours contact a member of Sportquest who will be more than happy to assist.

Paul was an extremely friendly and amiable guide. He kept calm when the rare mishap occurred such as a lost passport, which he found under a computer keyboard on the checking desk. Great holiday thanks
Hi Kathleen, it was a great pleasure to have met you guys finally after the many years of helping you on your adventures and will see you again next February for a return visit.
All the best and thank you for your kind words
Overall Rating:
Great holiday with excellent service & food at the lodge. Boats of a good standard. Offshore grounds quite a journey out however better to spend travelling to be on the fish. Would like to go back in the Sailfish season.
Hi Steve, really good to finally meet you after so many years. Glad you loved the place and well done on your 13th Marlin!! And boy did you get that in quick.
Like you say it is better to spend time getting to the fish rather than fishing closer to land for no fish.
You are all booked on for next years Sailfish trip (February is peak time for them)
All the best

First rate trip all round!
Fishing guide + boat crew beyond expectations. Avoid duty free at San Jose (rip off)
Special mention for Paul, for whom nothing was too much trouble
Thanks again
Hello David, so glad you loved the trip and it exceeded your expectations. It is a wonderful place and somewhere all anglers should visit.
Well done on all your fish you had a great weeks fishing.
All the best and hopefully get to fish with again
Overall Rating:
All very enjoyable. Resort good, food good as was the service.
Fishing ok, not a great variety of species and long distances to the fishing grounds. Beautiful location and superb bird life.
Hello John, glad you liked the location it truly is stunning. When you spend most of the time offshore there are not many species available, shame you didnt connect with one of the billfish family!
All the best

I had a ball. If I had landed everything I hooked it would of been out of this world. Never the less six new species caught plus new PB Dorado. Fauna and Flora outstanding too. I would definitely go Back!
Hi Kev, thank you for your feedback. I am glad you loved your first visit to Crocodile Bay the location is out of this world. Plus the fishing is world class. It was a pleasure to have been there when you caught that Dorado.... all the ones you had were huge! Shame about the Marlin falling off maybe next time
All the best

Just Brilliant. Crocodile Bay is a great location, even for a non angler! Excellent accommodation and food. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The eco tours arranged by Crocodile Bay were excellent and I had the opportunity to see some of the beautiful wildlife in Costa Rica.
Hi Jane, it was real pleasure to finally meet you. Kev speaks very highly of you! So glad you loved the place, it is one of my personal favourites and enjoy every trip there. There is just something about the place, its friendly atmosphere, its fine food, the wildlife, the fishing, I can not quite put my finger on it...... just feels so relaxing.
And also, thank you for your feedback
Overall Rating:
The boats were comfortable and the time would have allowed one more days fishing.
The fishing was good and the weather was mostly good.
Hi John, thanks for your feedback and a massive well done on your huge Rooster fish, what a fight and what a fish.
The only reason why we couldnt have another days fishing is because the small internal flight sometimes has delays and as its a very small fleet of planes we have to allow plenty of time just in case a plane breaks down and we are late getting back to Costa Rica.
Look forward to seeing you again soon
All the best Paul

Catching a Sailfish was the most memorable part for me. Travelling was not as bad as I feared.
Sportquest seems to have the answers to any queries any reasonable angler could ask.
I enjoyed my trip, now for the Andamans!
Hi Geoff, thank you so much for taking the time out to fill your feed back form. It was a pleasure to have been there when you caught your Sailfish, they are awesome creatures. Hopefully you liked the pictures.
Andaman will be here sooner than you think
All the best and thank you so much for my wine

The standard of fishing boats varies. Some are faster and more comfortable than others. Try and get a good one.
Hello Robert, thanks for your feedback form. Yes there did seem to be a difference in boats. We have made a mental note of the faster boats and will request them next time.
All the best and see you soon

Overall Rating:
The hotel was excellent and the staff helpful and very friendly. Boat crew were efficient and good at their job while being friendly on long days. The fishing was the best bit, especially catching my Sailfish. The flight was long, but Business class makes it better. Internal flight is turbulent over the mountains, be prepared!
I will go back to get the Marlin soon!
Hi Malcolm, thank you so much for taking the time to fill out your feed back form. I totally agree with all you have said and it was a pleasure to have been there when you caught your Sailfish, sorry we couldn't get you your Marlin, maybe next time.
Crocodile Bay is an awesome destination and one that always pleases people who stay there.
All the best and hopefully will see you again

Overall Rating:
Top class fishing resort, friendly, luxurious, great food.
Fishing was a little tough inshore but by the end of the week the offshore fishing was excellent with 12 Sailfish caught and released and many more raised to the teasers. All equipment was first class and the crew were friendly, knowledgeable and spoke decent English.
On top of this was the stunning scenery and wildlife, even just around the resort.
Highly recommended!
Thanks for your feedback form. Glad you guys loved the place, it is truly one of those places in the world that you will want to return to year after year.
Shame the fishing was a little tough but still you had some good Sails in the end.
Where is next for you guys?
Once again thanks for choosing Sportquest to take care of your adventure.
All the best

Just returned from another hosted trip with Sportquest. This time I joined a group to the famous Crocodile Bay and it did not disappoint in anyway.
First class operation, fishing, boats and guides.
The accommodation and resort is suitable for both anglers and non anglers, which was a real bonus (As I would sleep on the beach if the fishing was good enough)
Thank Sportquest another successful trip.
It was great to have you back on another hosted trip. Lets hope we can keep you interested with lost of different destinations as we have lots of hosted trips you can work your way through.
Talk soon :)
Overall Rating:
Both my husband & I joined one of Sportquest's hosted trips, as first time big game anglers we were very unsure about both what to expect and what to do.
We did not need to worry as Peter our host and owner of SQH took such good care of us. I really appreciated having him in the boat the day I found myself connected to a Blue Marlin. His instructions on what to do and how to play the fish made a great help and kept me both confident but also calm.
The lodge and our room was stunning, the staff also need a mention as nothing is too much for them. The girls in the restaurant and bars are a real asset to the resort.
I am sure that we have both been bitten by the bug and are already planning to return.
If you have ever wanted to try big game fishing just ask Sportquest.
Christine / Paul
Thank you for such a nice review and your kind words. It was a pleasure in having you both on one of our trips.
Christine, you did an amazing job of playing that Marlin, it was all your hard work with only a few words from me.
Looking forward to all the pictures, I will share the rest of the group pictures with you once they are all in.

Sportquest thank you for such an amazing trip.
The sailfish, Marlin and Roosterfish fishing was of the charts.
The lodge is idilic and a real home from home. I would love to return and next time I will bring the whole family as they will also love it.
Thanks again Martin
Martin,
Thanks for choosing Sportquest Holidays as we do know you have a choice. So glad you loved the trip as it was a pleasure having you.
You are correct the resort is very family friendly as there is so much else to do apart from the fishing, perhaps next time you need two weeks.

Our first time big game fishing so after talking to you we decided to opt for a hosted trip.
Our host was Peter from Sportquest and we are so glad that we listened.
Peter took very good care of us from departing the UK until we all returned.
Perfect location, top class fishing and very well run from start to finish. Can not find a single fault.
Roger, thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure looking after everyone and something I also enjoyed as it was a great group of people, which makes my job much easier.
I hope to get to share some fishing with you again someday soon.
Overall Rating:
Peter just a quick thank you for taking good care of us all on the trip.
The whole experience was amazing, lots of action with sailfish and Tuna,
The lodge and staff are a real credit to the whole trip, nothing was to much trouble for anyone.
We would love to return in a couple of years time, as I have some unfenced business with that Blue Marlin.
George, you are welcome as always it was good to have you all on the trip.
The fishing was very kind to us so I hope to see you all again soon (Next year maybe?)
