I spent around USD 350/day. My fishing charter was about USD 250, accommodation USD 60, food USD 25, and transportation plus tips around USD 15. It wasn't cheap, but catching sailfish made it worth every dollar.
@halil_ibrahim_koc Thanks for sharing! That breakdown is really helpful. I'll probably budget around USD 350–400 per day to be on the safe side.
I traveled on a tighter budget and shared a full-day charter with three other anglers. My total cost was about USD 180/day, including a hostel, local meals, and transportation.
@abizard That's a great idea! Sharing a charter seems like the best way to save money while still enjoying the fishing experience.
