Let me start by saying George the owner of the boat is a great guy. He was in contact with us 100% of the time. Captain Jose knows how to find the fish. We went 25 miles out and started to see dolphins. A sure sign that feeder fish were around. A little ways further and we saw more dolphins than I’ve ever seen in my life. 100s maybe thousands of them. As soon as we dropped lures in the water we were double hooked. There was just my wife and I fishing so it was busy for both of us. Large Yellow Fin Tuna were caught one after the other. Then the captain and I saw a Black Marlin following the boat. The mate threw a small live bait in but couldn’t hook it. He then used the smallest tuna, maybe 15-20 lbs and hooked it! The Black Marlin was a beauty. It danced all around the boat as it fought. Billfish are catch and release here so he went back in. More Yellow fin and we hooked the Blue Marlin! He also skipped across the water beautifully for us. An incredible day fishing. We have fished all over the world and never caught as many fish so quickly as we did with the Papi Chulo!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Incredible day out on the water Sunday. We boarded with Papi Chulo out of Potrero and zipped down the coast to see if we could find anything. After an hour we hooked a big blue but didn’t quite get it to the boat, but the boys got to start to see a show. Reset and was able to hook and boat a 120lb sailfish! Bucket list moment for this old guy. Elliott was able to big in a big blue marlin (around 300lbs) but didn’t get any great pictures because we were all working as a team to bring in. Costa Rica doesn’t allow bringing the fish aboard so a bit harder. In all we raise 6 and brought in 2. Epic day.

Captain Jose and First Mate Dennis were very professional. They put us on fish and worked hard all day. Fun crew to be around, and were engaging all day. The boat was clean and ran like a sewing machine. Lunch was spectacular. We will book with them next time we are local. Highly Recommend.

Had a great time fishing with Captain Jose’ and first mate Alex.  After the smooth ride out to deep water we were on our first sailfish in less than 45 minutes.  A solid morning of great sailfish.  After a great lunch things slowed down for a bit but the crew kept trying new things and colors. The end of the afternoon picked up and we ended up landing seven sailfish for the day.  I enjoyed it so much we came back later the same week for a half day trip. Landed my first rooster fish, excellent experience.  Highly recommend Captain Jose’.

The day started off great. We caught some early fish (bonitas and a tuna mackerel) and started after the roosterfish. Unfortunately, the windy season lived up to its name and we had to terminate our trip early because of seasickness. I’m sure we would have had continued success.

Captain Jose and First Mate Luis were knowledgeable and very accommodating. i would definitely recommend these guys and look forward to fishing with them again.
