Gran Gallo Sportfishing – 27'
Gran Gallo Sportfishing provides individuals, groups, and families a chance to experience world-class sport fishing in Quepos, Costa Rica. Whether you’re an inshore fanatic, wanting to discover rich hidden spots as you search for those tricky to catch species or an angler itching to go offshore and battle the giants of the deep blue waters, the crew will have a trip for you. Able to accommodate various preferences and skill levels, this charter’s goal is to give all customers memories they won’t ever forget.
The boat that will be your fishing platform for the day is a 27’ Sea Master center console, powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine. Restored as recently as 2019, it features the latest onboard electronic systems for navigation, communication, and fish finding. The vessel’s also equipped with all the necessary safety equipment, an icebox, a live bait tank, and a private toilet, giving any group of anglers everything they could need for a fun and productive day on the water.
All fishing gear you’ll need for your trip will be provided by the captain. This includes first-class rods and reels by Penn and Shimano, live bait, and artificial lures. The bait you’re using will depend on the season and the species you’re targeting but on trips using live bait, it will either be bought ahead of the trip, or caught at the beginning of it. Either way, it’s always included in the price.
You’ll also be provided with water, fruit, and ice. All you need to pack is your choice of food and drinks, which you’ll be able to store in the dedicated onboard cooler. Also, you’ll need to get a valid fishing license before you come aboard.
Now, simply check the captain’s calendar for openings, find a slot that works for you, and book your next fishing adventure today!

I am so completely disappointed with my fishing trip. I was so excited to go out and I talked with Captain Merlin multiple times prior to our trip both on this website and on Whatsapp and he was so nice and very responsive. BUT......upon arriving at the marina and meeting Captian Merlin I learned that he was not going out on the water and that he never goes out on the weekends. He pawned us off on his two crew members who were very nice and very good deck-hands etc. however, they seemed clueless about bottom fishing which Captian Merlin assured me we could do in the morning for the first couple of hours of the trip and they did not have any bate ready for bottom fishing. They were only set-up to go out and troll and although my BF and I each caught a Sailfish, it was not what we were expecting to be doing ALL DAY! Even when out trolling, the crew told me they had no idea what the marked spots on the GPS were for and they just seemed to drive around following other boats. The crew was super nice and the boat and equipment were top notch but we did not get what we paid for and what we were promised! Overall just super disappointed in Captain Merlin for not setting us up for what was promised and when I sent him my thoughts after the trip he didn't even respond to me!
