About Reckless

Classic Bertram Strength With Modern Sportfishing Equipment

Reckless is a 31-foot Bertram sportfisher operating from Marina Pez Vela in Quepos. The boat combines the stable, proven Bertram hull with twin Cummins diesel power and a professional fishing setup.

Offshore Billfish or Inshore Roosterfish

Offshore, the crew can use trolling spreads, dredges and live or dead bait for sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi.

Closer to shore, Reckless can switch to live bait, lighter tackle and bottom-fishing techniques for roosterfish, snapper, grouper and mackerel.

Offshore Variety

More Than Just Billfish

Quepos offshore fishing can produce more than sailfish and marlin. Yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi add powerful fights, fast action and excellent variety to a full-day trip.

The crew adjusts the plan around conditions, current lines, bait and bird activity rather than forcing one fishing technique all day.

Inshore Option

Roosterfish Close to the Coast

If your group prefers a shorter day, Reckless can fish closer to Quepos and Manuel Antonio for roosterfish, snapper, grouper and other coastal species.

This is often a good choice for families, first-time anglers or guests who want steady action without spending the entire day offshore.
