Don’t wait until the first day of the tournament to shake off the dust and first-day jitters! To better your chance at success competing against the best fishing teams in the world, we encourage our anglers to arrive early to Costa Rica to practice fish on a local charter boat and familiarize yourselves with the local fishery. During the tournament, all anglers must hook their own fish. Practice the art of bait-and-switch with your team and gain a competitive edge from local experience by booking a pre-fishing charter in the exact marina of the tournament! To book your practice charter, go to Fishing in Costa Rica – Marina Pez Vela , or email [email protected] and tell them you’re an OWC angler!
Once again, Pacifico Travel will be the preferred shuttle service of the Offshore World Championship. Pacifico Travel is at your disposal for your transportation needs in Costa Rica. Whether you need transport to and from the airport, or for local transportation during the tournament, they can accommodate your travel on shared buses and vans or an exclusive private taxi service.
