Artisanal Fishing, Ocean to Table

Give back to the community while you catch your own lunch!

This is one of ConnectOcean’s flagship projects, which won first prize in the United Nations’ Reboot the Ocean initiative in 2020.

After setting sail from Playa Flamingo with fishermen who have worked the waters of Guanacaste for generations, you’ll learn about sustainable fishing and traditional hand-line methods. These time-honored techniques allow fishermen, suppliers, conservationists, and consumers to work together to catch and cook fish from ocean to table—ensuring a sustainable origin, supporting local coastal communities, and guaranteeing maximum freshness.

You’ll bring your catch to the beachfront restaurant Estero Azul, where, alongside a chef-anthropologist, you’ll prepare a meal inspired by pre-Hispanic culinary styles.
