Why fishing crews stay with us
Tournament weeks are long and loud. Our villas give your team somewhere to actually decompress.
Real capacity for a full crew
5 to 10+ bedroom homes that sleep captains, mates and guests together ā not split across two hotel rooms.
Total privacy
Gated, standalone properties with private pools, so your team has the run of the house between days on the boat.
Full staff on call
Daily housekeeping, private chef options, and a concierge who handles transfers and early breakfasts.
Storage for gear
Room for rods, coolers and tackle, so your rental car doesn't have to double as a garage.
Space to actually rest
After the boat comes in, the house should feel like the reward.
Open-air living rooms, private ocean-view bedrooms, and decks built for reviewing the day's catch ā or just watching the game with the crew.
High-speed Wi-Fi throughout, so logging the day's numbers or catching up on work back home is never a problem.

Handpicked Villas
Where to Stay for the Tournament
Marina Pez Vela is fifteen minutes from most of our homes, so an early call time is not a problem. For a full boat, Casa Castillo has six bedrooms and ocean views, Estrella del Mar is a six-bedroom rainforest villa, and Casa Sarita sleeps a five-bedroom crew. If the group is larger, Casa Diamante takes eighteen and Casa Playitas takes twelve.
Every home comes with daily maid service and a concierge who will handle the boat, the transfers and the early breakfasts. If you want a day on the water outside the tournament, we also book sportfishing charters year round.
