C-Tales is a USCG equipped 1999 30' Island Hopper offering sportfishing in Costa Rica. This sportfishing vessel is rigged for tournament class deep-sea fishing in Costa Rica. Our equipment includes a fighting chair, transom door for your large Marlin & Tuna catch, outriggers, live well, the latest electronics, a full cabin and head, very good cover from the sun and a large open air salon.

Our fishing tackle includes famous brand names like Penn International and Shimano [heavy & light].

C-Tales sportfishing charter guides use bait & switch techniques by trolling artificial baits. Conventional tackle is provided; however, fly fishermen need to bring their own fly fishing tackle for fly fishing in Costa Rica. We practice catch & release for big game Sailfish & Marlin. The option of bringing home Dorado, Tuna, Snapper, and other sport fish for snacks is up to the fishermen.

We are members in good standing with the IGFA & other billfish foundations. The captain & mates speak English, and all have many years experience fishing the waters of the Pacific coast of Central America & Golfito. The captain, Chuck Tilton, is USCG licensed & certified.
