TARPON BOATS WE USE
Our tarpon fishing boats are custom-built with safety, smoothness, and reliability in mind. They are true ocean-going vessels that are 23-ft long with a Deep-V hull. And all of our 12 fishing boats are equipped and powered by 200hp Yamaha motors. These boats are considered "Double Hulled" as they all have a flotation insulation foam that's inside the hull. These boats were simply built to fish, and you will see by the layout and fishability of these units. And not only that, it's hard to find a safer built boat for the ocean.
When we say our boats are custom-built, we mean it. All have been made in-house by Marcos. He literally builds it from the frame and hull up, and does all the finishing work such as the engine, electrical wiring, and all bodywork. They are simply works of art!
And each of these custom boats are equipped with quality electronics, VHF 25-watt radios, and with all safety features in mind. We even equip each boat with dual-aft fighting chairs and a T-top for the sun. This will make for the most comfortable tarpon fishing experience. That's what you get with our Costa Rica fishing charters here at Silver King Lodge.
And if you'd like to try some fishing upriver from the lodge, we have 4 15-ft aluminum Tracker skiff boats for your use. They each have Suzuki outboard motors and bimini tops for your comfort. These boats are available on a first-come, first-served basis to our lodge guests.
