Where thousands of tonnes of bananas and palm oil once left Costa Rica by ship, Puerto Quepos (CRXQP) is now home to Marina Pez Vela, Central America's largest full-service marina, marking the port's shift from fruit exporter to yachting hub. The Pacific coast facility offers around 200 berths for vessels up to roughly 60 metres and a haul-out yard servicing boats up to 200 tonnes. Commercial general-cargo handling has effectively ceased; the historic pier once served the Standard Fruit Company's banana trade before shipments moved to other ports. Quepos is best known internationally today as a sportfishing destination, hosting several major tournaments each season, including the Offshore World Championship. Cruise ships occasionally anchor offshore and tender passengers ashore, though the port lacks a dedicated cruise terminal. Businesses needing meaningful import or export capacity typically route cargo through Puerto Caldera or Puerto Limón-Moín instead. Formal customs clearance for trade goods is therefore limited at the Quepos site itself.
