For anglers and travelers seeking the best of both world’s in Guanacaste, the vibrant coastal town of Flamingo is an essential destination. Famous for its stunning white sand beach, luxury resorts, and lively atmosphere, Flamingo is now home to the area’s premier marina. While our home base at Fish Potrero provides direct access to some of the best inshore fishing spots, the new Flamingo Marina elevates the entire sportfishing experience in the region. This modern marina is not just a hub for luxury yachts; it’s a gateway to diverse fishing grounds and a key advantage for our charters.

The Flamingo Marina's Strategic Advantage

The Flamingo Marina is a game-changer for sport fishing in the region. Its state-of-the-art facilities and sheltered harbor provide a perfect launch point. This new, modern marina allows us to offer you a broader range of fishing opportunities than ever before. For our guests, this means an effortless start to your offshore adventures or the ability to target new inshore fishing spots with ease. The strategic location of the marina, just a short boat ride from Playa Potrero, allows us to transition seamlessly from our home waters to new, productive fishing grounds.

Fishing Both Potrero & Flamingo on a Single Trip

One of the greatest benefits of the new Flamingo Marina is the ability to easily fish both the waters of Playa Potrero and Flamingo in the same day. The two locations are so close that our charters can begin a day of inshore fishing right from our home beach in Potrero, targeting prized species like roosterfish, snapper, and jacks. When you’re ready for a change, a quick 10-minute boat ride takes you directly to the Flamingo Marina and the deep, fertile waters beyond it, where we can switch tactics to pursue bigger game like marlin and sailfish. This allows you to experience the best of both inshore and offshore fishing on one incredible charter.

What the New Flamingo Marina Provides:
