4 sailfish and a mahi
Full Day Trip – Inshore/Offshore on February 20, 20242 adults

Had a great half day deep shore fishing with Vibert and crew. Caught 4 sailfish and a mahi. Boat was impeccable. Watching the captain and crew get all the lines out was like a work of art, super efficient and we were fishing almost immediately as we were leaving the harbor. Communication was great. Fun catching the little dingy on the beach to get to the big boat. Had food - sandwiches, watermelon, coconut water and beers stocked on board. Would 100% use again.

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Sailfish

Fish On!
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on February 9, 20244 adults

We had a great day on the water with captain Vibert and his first mate. We only booked a half day but should have done a full day because it was such a great experience. His boat is high end and immaculate, fruit was delicious, drinks plentiful, and his knowledge of the fishing grounds was amazing. He pulled out all the stops and we caught barracuda, tuna, and my bucket list rooster fish. Captain Vibert is calm, considerate, and has a killer playlist. Highly recommended!

Vibert is the captain and owner of Vibert's Secret Spot – Surf & Fishing Charter. He's a professional and passionate local fisherman who's been fishing since he was a little boy. His dad came from Barbados to Costa Rica about 40 years ago and was the first to start sportfishing in the area of Guanacaste. He took Vibert fishing every day and eventually carried that same passion down to his son. After working as a captain on private charters for several years, Capt. Vibert had the opportunity to get his own boat and start his own business. Over the years, he's scoped out some of the best inshore and offshore fishing spots that this area has to offer. He knows these waters better than anyone and possesses the intimate, local knowledge required to catch the fish of your dreams!
