Golfito, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Member since May 2019

Captain Kevin Vasquez began fishing with his father when he was a young kid. Fishing has always been a family tradition in the Vasquez household, so becoming a captain was a natural decision for Kevin. As a Golfito local, he's fished every sweet spot in and around the bay, so he knows all the best locations to put you on big fish. Kevin is big on preserving the environment so he prefers catch and release. He loves entertaining his guests, catching lots of fish, and having a good time on the water!
