In Quepos, fishing charter trips are chiefly of two kinds- half day and full day. The half-day trips start at around 8 in the morning, and return is scheduled by afternoon. The full day fishing in Quepos trips are obviously longer. They start early and finish by afternoon around the same time as a half-day trip. With most companies, the return time of full and half day trips coincide and for most, it’s about 4 in the afternoon.  The trips are timed to the utmost convenience of the passengers and success of the sport.

However, there is a Quepos Costa Rica fishing trip which is in between the two mentioned. It’s the 3/4^th day fishing charter trip. Not many providers have them on their schedule because most find it too much to fit the time and sport together into one package. However, those companies that receive a large mass of clients often fashion these really short trips to provide beginners and those on a tight schedule a quick experience of what fishing in Quepos is like. Typically, these trips extend from 6 in the morning to the usual 4 in the afternoon.
