With lots of adventures to choose from, there’s at least one that’s perfect for you. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, you’re welcome to join Captain Gabriels and his team.

You’ll be fishing on a 28‘ center console “Gitana” that accommodates up to 6 guests. The boat is powered by twin 140 HP Suzuki engines. She’s outfitted with International 50 Reels and Penn 2 speed 30 reels. The boat has new electronics with HD radar, premium sound system with a 2600 watt amplifier which connects to customer Bluetooth. You’ll also find a private, flushable head.  The boat is customized with outriggers, downriggers, and dredge teasers.

There’s a variety of fish species to target, all depending on how far off the coast you go. Closer to the shore, you’ll have a chance to catch Roosterfish, Grouper, Snapper, and Kingfish, while far offshore, you can get Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, Sailfish, and many more.

Snacks, meals, and beverages are included in the price. GoPro Camera can record your entire experience and help you memorize this experience forever. After the trip, the crew will also clean your catch.

Gitana merchandise can be purchased on the boat to remember your experience. Fish mounting services can be provided by Gray Taxidermy.

I have been a fisherman my entire life. I learned my skills from my grandfather. I especially enjoy fishing for Sailfish, Marlin, and Tuna. I recently got the opportunity to expand my interests and skills for a charter business in Costa Rica. My captain and first mate are masters with outstanding reputations who share my passion for fishing.
