Wing Man Sportfishing Charters

Wing Man Sportfishing Charters is owned and operated by Captain Carlos, who has over 30 years of fishing experience. He learned a lot exploring the waters of Bahia Herradura and Central Pacific.

He tries to meet his guests’ needs each time and does everything he can to help everybody have fun. He enjoys having kids aboard and loves to teach them the basics. It’s never too early to get them into fishing and make them fall in love with the outdoors.

You’ll be fishing on a 30’ Chris Craft that accommodates up to 4 guests. She’s powered by twin 150 HP Cummins engines and provides a safe and stable ride. For everybody’s convenience, especially if you’re bringing your family on the boat, there’s a private toilet and lots of seating space in the shade.

This boat was made to be a fishing machine, which is why she features a fighting chair, a flybridge so you can spot the fish from the distance, outriggers and downriggers for trolling, tuna tubes, and a live bait tank.

You can target anything from a small fish for the freezer to a record-breaking trophy. It all depends on how skilled and how lucky you are. Let the captain know how you imagined this trip and he’ll make all the necessary preparations.

Wing Man Sportfishing Charters is just the type of support you need for a successful day of fishing. As you can see from the photos, there are lots of amazing catches and happy faces. Be a part of it!
