My group of 9 arrived in Playa Flamingo excited and ready to fish. Thanks to the detailed coordination and great customer service from Debbie of 'I Wish I Were Fishing Chaters' we were greeted to a warm welcome and quickly guided to our boats and awaiting captains and crews. After a short ride to the fishing grounds on well equipped vessels our skilled teams on each boat turned our excitement into a day to remember. We caught Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Sail Fish not counting multiple missed strikes. The added treat… delicious fresh fruit & snacks, cold beverages, great music, and an all day Spinner Dolphin show that was worthy of National Geographic. A safe ride back to the marina with fresh fish fillets in the bag and huge smiles on our faces, completed the day. I recommend giving them a call if you desire a great day of fishing in Costa Rica. I plan to again when I return with that same excitement because they delivered! Thanks Debbie to you and your staff for making our trip one to remember. Look forward to connecting next time i'm in Costa Rica! Stanley A. Bowie, Maryland
Thank you and your fabulous family for joining us onboard. A great day was definitely had by all. Our crew enjoyed spending the day with your group and look forward to having you back again. Pura Vida 😎🎣
Spent the day with Salty Adventures and had an amazing day. The CREW was 10/10. We caught Mahi Mahi, 5 Sailfish, and plenty of grouper, strawberry grouper, and tilefish. The crew worked really hard to ensure we had a great experience. My family fishes off shore often in New England, and we were beyond impressed with the crew and how they worked. By the 5th sailfish, we were sailed out hahah. THANK YOU for such a great day. Already planning to come back for our family trip next year! -Eric, "Spanky", our Captain you, all are fantastic.
Alicia thank you for your kind review I will make sure my team is aware of the great review you have left them, we look forward to fishing with your family again
We did a day offshore and a day inshore and everything was perfect - the boat was fantastic with great equipment, the crew were professional, friendly and couldn't do enough to both help and make our experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible and we caught great Mahi Mahi, Roosterfish and Jack Crevalle. We loved every minute with the crew and on the boat and Debbie made everything smooth and seamless. We will definitely rebook next time we are in Costa Rica and would really recommend.
Thank you for fishing with Wishing I Was Fishing Adventures. We are very happy that we could make your trip memorable and we look forward to having you on board again in the future. Pura Vida
Went out today for full day fishing with Captain Joshua and crew. I have never seen anyone work so hard to help customers catch fish. They strived to accommodate our request for offshore fishing and some reef fishing. First catch of the day was a marlin....made my son's day! We caught grouper, strawberry grouper, snapper, and more! Saw whale, dolphins, sailfish, and so many turtles on our way out to fish. It was a great day. Highly recommend this team for a perfect day of fishing. Thanks guys!
Thank you for choosing us and we are very happy we could provide a memorable trip for your family I will make sure to pass this on to my team. We look forward to seeing you again !
Salty Adventure is top tier. Kevin, Joshua, and Gerald worked super hard the whole time to get us hooked up on some fish! Would 10/10 recommend and would book a trip again!
Thank you Blake, come see us again. We also have condo on the beach located near the marina.
