Culebra, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Member since December 2018

Cat Costa Rica is owned by Captain Elias. They have been in business since 1999, since his dad (also a captain and still on one of the boats) needed some help. Elias decided to finish business school and join his father, who was a commercial fisherman for a long time. Over the years, they have sailed thousands of miles working in commercial fishing in far-flung waters such as The Galapagos Islands, as well as working as divers and captains on many other local vessels. Besides that, they have been doing aquatic and jet ski tours. This is a family business – besides his father, his wife is one of the employees. They love the sea and nature, are very eco-aware, and part of the money they earn is being donated to a local school. This business is their baby, and they love what they do. They want to be friends with their clients, so they come back again and again. They have 3 fishing boats at the moment and have catered to clients such as Tornado Hunter Group and AAA.
