35' Cabo Express – Tamarindo Beach

Join the crew for a unique experience. Whether you are after big numbers or big fish, there is a trip for you. Everyone is welcome to join in the adventure.

The crew will guide you through the basics before you make your first cast and show you the ropes. The boat is a 35’ Cabo Express. She comes powered by two 420 HP engines and has plenty of fishing space for up to 6 anglers. The boat is rigged with a GPS, a fishfinder, and two VHF radios, radar, as well as outriggers, electric reels for dredges, and safety equipment with a life raft for a professional fishing experience.

Enjoy a morning out on the water or check the bite later in the afternoon. Stay for the whole day and explore those productive waters and all the fish species that reside up to 26 miles out. Test yourself in light tackle trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, popping, and deep sea fishing for whatever is biting. Your potential catch can include Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna, Black and Blue Marlin, Wahoo, Spanish Mackerel, Red Snapper, Sailfish, Roosterfish, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, and who knows what else?

All trips aboard are all-inclusive. You will only need to bring your desire to have fun. Half day adventures include chips, fruit, water, beer, soda, and juices, while full day trips come with a light lunch.

Jon and his wife moved to Tamarindo from the city in 2006. Tamarindo is a surfing town and back then the captain realized that surfing is not his thing. Instead, he instantly fell in love with fishing. Capt. Jon has fished the entire Pacific coast of Costa Rica since then, from Golfito (near Panama) to the Bat Islands (near Nicaragua). He has developed many friendships through this wonderful sport and has met great captains on each fishing location on the amazing Pacific coast. Now, the captain runs a successful fishing operation based in Tamarindo representing some of the best captains and crews on the best fishing locations of Costa Rica.
