Samuel Daley-latreille•
British Columbia, CanadaMember since 20265.0Verified5 tuna and 1 sailfish
Full Day Trip on February 19, 2026 • 2 adultsCoyote Sportfishing was excellent. Maria was a great help and pointed us to the correct location and made sure we were taken care of. Captain Frank was delightful and very welcoming, offered us a free upgrade to Gamefisher flamingo II. Isaac (first mate) and Mario (captain of gamefisher) were well knowledged and skillful. 5 tuna in the morning, 6ft + Sailfish in the afternoon, had a successful day. They also make a pretty decent sandwich for lunch ! Thanks so much Coyote Sportfishing! Will recommend you to friends in the future!

3/4 Day Trip on April 9, 2025 • 2 adultsFished with Capt Mario on the Salsa. Knowledgeable experienced Captain that got us on fish. Truly a great day and will fish with him next time I am there. I fished on the 26 or 27 foot Salsa. If you want more comfort, recommend you check out the larger boats in the coyote fleet. But if you are used to fishing smaller boats and want to experience fishing up close and personal, the Salsa is for you.
Dan McmurrayRepeat angler•Illinois, US•Member since 20225 trips5.0VerifiedFishing with Captain Jose
3/4 Day Trip on March 27, 2024 • 2 adultsBooked the “Salsa” for two days - Monday and Wednesday. Captain Jose and crew mate Cesar were very welcoming and informative about Costa Rican fishing. Caught multiple Yellowfin Tuna and a big Mahi Mahi, with plenty of drinks, snacks, food, and laughs. I highly recommend fishing with coyote when you come down to Tamarindo or nearby towns.

Ralph Thompson•
United KingdomMember since 20214.7Verified3/4 day with Captain Nacho!
3/4 Day Trip on December 15, 2021 • 1 adultI went on my first ever sport fishing trip on the 15th of December. Nacho was great he worked really hard to find the best places to fish and was constantly changing lures and bait. We caught 3 decent sized Mahi Mahi before lunch the biggest maybe 50lbs. At the start I said I wanted to catch a big billfish and Nacho delivered!! We think the Blue Marlin was around 350lbs. I can't thank Nacho enough that was one of the best experiences of my life! I certainly couldn't have caught it without him! Thanks Nacho!!!

Coyote Sportfishing was excellent. Maria was a great help and pointed us to the correct location and made sure we were taken care of. Captain Frank was delightful and very welcoming, offered us a free upgrade to Gamefisher flamingo II.

Although we did not catch fish, our experience was good. The captain worked hard to find fish and extended our charter by almost two hours to find fish. In talking with others, various charters got skunked. I would use this charter in the future.
Fished with Capt Mario on the Salsa. Knowledgeable experienced Captain that got us on fish. Truly a great day and will fish with him next time I am there. I fished on the 26 or 27 foot Salsa. If you want more comfort, recommend you check out the larger boats in the coyote fleet. But if you are used to fishing smaller boats and want to experience fishing up close and personal, the Salsa is for you.
Thanks for the review Robert And we are glad you enjoyed your trip and we hope to see you again in the future
Captain Mario and Issac were awesome. They worked nonstop to put us on fish. Our trip was scheduled for inshore fishing but upon our arrival Captain Frank from Coyote noted that bite was very slow. He put us on a larger boat and had us target billfish. We caught four large sailfish on a half day trip. It was awesome.
