10/10 best experience for first offshore fishing trip!
Full Day Trip on June 18, 2026 • 4 adults

Although we only caught 4 fish - 2 tuna, a sailfish, and a marlin- the captains and crew made this the best experience possible. of course we would have loved to catch more, but they did their best and were very attentive to the lines. even made us fresh tuna sashimi! would absolutely reccomend these guys, especially when fishing is more in season in costa rica. for this being our first time offshore, I couldnt be more content with how the day went. I can only imagine how fun it would have been to be in-season fishing with these guys!

50 lb Bull Dolphin!!!
Full Day Trip on November 14, 2025 • 2 adults

Today my dad and I had an amazing time fishing with Captain Andy, Erik, and Jose! We are from Florida and came to Coata Rica to celebrate his 70th birthday. The team was very easy to communicate with leading up to the charter. They were very friendly and knew their craft in the water! They put us on a school of Mahi early in the morning, and we filled the entire cooler by 9am. My dad caught the biggest Mahi of his life which ended up being 70" long, weighing in over 50lbs! A true tournament winner! The 10 or so other Mahi we kept were all 20- 35 lbs. we also caught a big 40+ lb Big Eye Tuna. Erik and Jose made us fresh tuna sashimi with that afternoon catch. We weren't able to hookup with any billfish during this November trip, but all in all had an amazing time. I would highly recommend the Luminare team if you are considering a fishing trip in Los Suenos!

Thank you so much for this amazing review and for choosing us to celebrate your dad's 70th birthday! 🎉 That 50 lb bull Mahi was an absolute beast and a fish to remember, and we're glad you enjoyed the Big Eye tuna and the fresh sashimi Erik and Jose prepared. Even without a billfish this time, we're very happy to hear you both had such a great trip and felt well taken care of by the crew. We truly appreciate you recommending the Luminare team and hope to have you back in Los Sueños soon to chase that elusive billfish and make some more memories together! Tight lines, Capt. Andy, Erik, Jose & the Luminare Sport Fishing team

Fishing trip from a Storybook
Full Day Trip on March 5, 2026 • 4 adults

This fishing trip felt like it came straight out of a storybook. We were fishing among hundreds of dolphins while catching yellowfin tuna—an incredible experience. The crew, Éric and Jose, were fantastic. They were fun to be around and worked hard the entire 9-hour trip to make sure we had every chance to catch fish. Captain Andy stepped in for Captain Pedro, and early in the trip I mentioned that I had spent a full day 2 days prior trying to catch a roosterfish with no luck. On the way back to the dock, Captain Andy remembered my story and stopped at a specific spot, grabbed a rod and fished from the fly bridge while we were fishing on deck, and within five minutes he gave me the rod and I was hooked into a 41-inch roosterfish and another 5 minutes after that my son was onto another one. I've been fishing for 45 years, and I can honestly say it felt like watching a master at work. Thank you Captain Andy, and deckhands Éric and Jose, for an unforgettable trip.

Thank you very much for the kind words. It truly means a lot to our whole team. Captain Andy, Eric and Jose always give their best to create special moments on the water, and we're very happy you and your son were able to experience such an exciting roosterfish bite. Fishing is always unpredictable, but moments like these are exactly why we love what we do. We hope to fish with you again soon. Team Luminare Capt. Pedro

Great trip!
Full Day Trip on July 14, 2026 • 2 adults • 3 children

My family and I had an amazing trip! Pre-trip communication was great, captain and crew were first rate, and boat was more than enough for a full day of offshore fishing. We caught one nice fish right away and the crew worked hard to help us get several more before the trip was done. We were very happy with our experience.

    The Capt and Crew are great professionals who love fishing and taking care of people. They worked extremely hard to get us on the fish and fished hard up until the very last moment. We hooked up 4 times and brought in three giant tuna ranging from 30 to 100 lbs. The crew cleaned and served sashimi like a five star restaurant. Thanks again to Captain Andy and first mates Jose and Erick. Our family loved the experience.

    If you are looking for an excellent Captain and crew that know what they are doing, cater to your requirements, continuously work to put fish in the boat while making sure you are having fun... you found it. We had a blast. We wanted to target sailfish, and they produced!!! A picture of one of the sailfish we caught is attached. I highly recommend this Luminare.
