Your captain
Tamarindo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Captain Willy has been fishing in the area for over 20 years. Being a local, he knows these waters like the back of his hand. Catching fish is not his only field of expertise – he is nautical mechanic by profession and the president of the nautical association in Tamarindo. One of the best parts of guiding fishing trips is being able to teach his guests to catch fish and help them have a day they imagined.
