We went out with Captain Maikel, Victor, and Milton 2 times 5/25 & 5/27/2026. 1st trip offshore was amazing, caught 2 big sailfish, and 2 nice big yellowfin tuna and a mahi. 2nd trip was inshore we caught a ton of fish. We caught a several mahi, blackfin tuna, and the highlight was a couple rooster fish. I believe we caught 23 fish inshore. Captain and crew were very attentive and amazing both trips. would highly recommend Rhino Charger.
Captain Mike was fantastic — a great captain who got us on fish right away. Within the first hour we landed a beautiful sailfish, and we had another sailfish shake the hook plus a marlin bite that just didn't stick. Best of all, we were the first boat of the day to catch a sailfish out of all the boats on the water. Milton and Victor worked nonstop. They were quick to spot fish, hustled to get us into perfect position, and stayed sharp the entire trip. Their teamwork made a huge difference. The boat was clean and well-maintained, the gear was top-notch, and they changed out lures based on the bite. One unexpected highlight was Victor's mother's home-cooked food — absolutely amazing and a great touch. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this crew — we will definitely be back. 🎣 Thanks again Gents! Pura Vida!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review and recommendation, Nate! We're thrilled to hear what an incredible day you had with Captain Mike, Milton, and Victor. Getting on a sailfish within the first hour—and being the first boat of the day to land one—is always something special. We also really appreciate your kind words about Milton and Victor. Their nonstop effort are a huge part of what makes these trips successful, and it's great to hear that stood out to you. We're also glad you enjoyed the condition of the boat, the quality of the gear, and the crew's attention to adapting lures to the bite. And of course, Victor's mom's home-cooked food is always a favorite! Thank you again for choosing to fish with us and we hope you return to Tamarindo soon.
We had a great time! The captain gave us an opportunity to chase the big sailfish, but we came up short. After spending enough time trying, the captain recommended moving locations to put us on fish. We caught several, which the amazing crew cleaned for us. We immediately went to shore and had a local restaurant cook it all up, which added to the experience. The crew worked hard and did all they could to make our experience the best, to include sufficient alcohol hydration, snacks and lunch.
Thank you so much for your review, Matthew! We’re glad to hear you had a great time and that the crew worked hard to make your day as enjoyable as possible. While the big sailfish didn’t quite cooperate, we’re pleased the captain was able to adjust the plan, move locations, and get you into some good fishing action. It’s great to hear you enjoyed having your catch cleaned and then taking it straight to a local restaurant to have it prepared—that’s a fantastic way to finish a day on the water and makes the experience even more memorable. We’re also glad you enjoyed the snacks, lunch, and drinks throughout the trip too. Thanks again and we hope you return to Tamarindo soon.
Fishing conditions were tough in the days preceding our trip. While the conditions improved a bit on the 9th, fishing remained difficult. However, our Captain, Michael and his crew, Milton and Victor were not deterred. The result was success with 2 catches, an 85 lb. Sailfish and a substantial Mahi. The captain and crew worked hard to make that happen. They were professional, attentive and courteous. My wife and I would definitely fish with them again!
Captain Michael and mates Milton/Victor immediately got us to the fishing grounds. Spent first half of the day fishing for blue Marlin. Got four hookups and landed a 450 pound fish on 30 pound tackle. Was amazing. Then spent the second half of the day fishing under a school of 2000 spinner dolphins. Yellowfin tuna hook up after yellowfin tuna hook up. Plus the Dolphins were amazing. Overall, an incredible day.
