I always loved the ocean and have been running boats my whole life. For over 5 years, I have been running charters in beautiful Costa Rica and I know how to entertain my guests. You'll be fishing with Captain Juan Carlos, who has been fishing for more than 16 years and used to manage a 60' boat and everyone and everything on it. He is also bilingual and speaks English quite well. It will be our pleasure to have you aboard the Fishin Off.
