The Zancudo Lodge

Resting on approximately 8.6 acres of oceanfront land, The Zancudo Lodge offers a level lot with waterfront access that includes a lodge, buildings, rainforest canopy, tropical flowers, and a quiet setting.

The Zancudo Lodge features 15 well-appointed rooms, including Standard Rooms (350 sq ft), Junior Suites (450 sq ft), and Master Suites—all equipped with air conditioning, fiber optic internet, flat-screen TVs, premium linens, and plush robes and slippers.

The on-site open-air restaurant, The Gamefisher, serves gourmet sea-to-table cuisine with ocean views, enhanced by a garden that provides fresh herbs and ingredients.

Additional buildings include laundry facilities, office space, storage rooms for equipment and merchandise, a dedicated rod and reel room, and a large custom-designed barn to safely store boats on trailers during the off-season.

The property also includes space for engine and equipment storage, a work area for maintenance projects, and backup power systems with generators and solar energy support.

The Zancudo Lodge, situated on Costa Rica’s Golfo Dulce, offers a premier sportfishing experience renowned for its diverse marine species and exceptional fishing grounds. The lodge provides direct access to the rich inshore waters of Golfo Dulce, a 15-mile-wide, 30-mile-long gulf with depths reaching nearly 600 feet. This area is ideal for targeting species such as roosterfish, cubera snapper, African pompano, and bluefin trevally. The volcanic reef structures and rocky outcrops create perfect habitats for these species, making it possible to catch multiple trophy fish in a single outing.

Just a 45-minute ride from the lodge, the offshore waters offer opportunities to catch blue, black, and striped marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, dorado, and wahoo. The lodge’s fleet of 32′ Contender boats, equipped with dual 300HP Yamaha engines and advanced Simrad radar systems, ensures quick access to these deep-sea fishing grounds.

The Zancudo Lodge boasts a fleet of high-performance boats, including the new 44′ Contender Z1 with triple Yamaha 450HP engines and SeaKeeper stabilization for enhanced comfort. The fleet consists of: (5) 32' Contenders with Twin Yamaha 300's, (1) 35' Contender with Triple Yamaha 300's, (1) 28' Custom Boat, (1) 44' Contender, and a transfer boat to pick up and drop off clients at the marina in Golfito. These boats are meticulously maintained, cleaned everyday, and kept in the best of shape.

All boats are outfitted with top-tier fishing gear, such as Okuma rods and reels, BKK hooks, and a variety of artificial lures, ensuring anglers have the best equipment for their fishing adventures.

Between all 15 rooms, the lodge can accommodate up to 30 guests at any time. There are rooms for individuals, couples, and options for large groups.

The lodge currently operates 182 +/- days a year, which is November 30th through the last week of May. However, there is opportunity for the buyer to extend the season closer to or into August which would greatly increase annual income generation. Currently, there are 36 full-time employees that work at the lodge. The employee turnover is extremely low. During the off-season there are approximately 15 employees that work on-site to maintain the premises and keep the property clean, safe, and to execute any off season projects or improvements that need to be made.

From opening day to closing day the lodge typically stays 90% +/- booked. Detailed financial information is available upon request to qualified parties.
