    Switched from Isabela to Another Boat.

    7 Hour Trip – Offshore on December 8, 2025 • 3 adults

    Had to make a switch from Isabela but the sub-boat was great. 2 Sails, 0/1 on Blue Marlin.

    Sailfish Bonanza!

    7 Hour Trip – Offshore on March 29, 2025 • 1 adult

    Captain Rudy and the Moonwalker crew hooked me up with three sailfish within two hours of first lines in the water! An awesome experience! I asked to then go chase the Yellowtail schools in the area. A valiant attempt was made but no tuna found. Still an unforgettable day on the water!

    Full day offshore trip

    9 Hour Trip – Offshore on February 1, 2023 • 2 adults

    We booked the full day offshore fishing trip and let the Captain know when we boarded what fishing experience we were looking for and the crew delivered. They worked hard all day and gave us the fishing experience of a lifetime. We caught tuna, mahi-mahi and sailfish. We hooked a blue marlin but he threw the hook. All in all, an exhausting but exciting day of fishing. Captain and crew were experienced and knowledgeable. They were well prepared for the trip and delivered on every aspect. We appreciated their hard work and dedication to providing an outstanding fishing experience. Thanks again guys. Plan to be back soon.

    Good day Bad food

    9 Hour Trip – Offshore on October 23, 2024 • 2 adults

    Had a great day with capt Johnny and crew. 2 sailfish before 10 Am. Then asked them to move on to other fish. Although nothing panned out it was all good. The hot lunch heated up on the engine for four hrs was actually OK. Just not my thing. I'd rather have a Sandwich in the costa Rican heat. Maybe just got spoiled on previous trips this week.

    Full Day Offshore with Kenneth and Johnny aboard The Isabella

    9 Hour Trip – Offshore on April 19, 2022 • 2 adults

    We LOVED our fishing trip with Johnny and Kenneth out on the Isabella!!! They were amazing guides and got us exactly what we were wanting! My husband landed a monster mahi mahi and I brought up a couple beautiful sailfish. It was such a wonderful day!! The snacks, refreshments and lunch were great!! Neither of us needed to worry about anything out on the boat because we were completely taken care of. We fished through sunshine and rain storms and still had an absolute blast with these guys!! I'm hoping I can bring the rest of my family out to do this one day as well and I would not hesitate booking with these guys again!!!

    Half Day trip with Captain Jonny on the Isabella

    5 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on November 15, 2022 • 4 adults

    Kind of a perfect day. Captain Jonny was all business until we landed the first Dorado. After we were guaranteed to not be skunked... he, and everyone else, lightened up. Nice boat, good crew, perfect weather. Johnny turned our catches into beautiful filets, some of which eventually became some rather extraordinary fish tacos.

    Isabella and crew were fine

    5 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on March 28, 2025 • 1 adult

    If going to Quepos go offshore. Don’t bother with inshore fishing. It’s just not noteworthy.

    Perseverance and success.

    5 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on February 14, 2024 • 2 adults

    Clearly, there was a slow bite this morning as the Captain confirmed his discussions with other Captains indicated no caught fish. We had good bait, and Captain Johnny kept us moving from one spot to another. In the fifth hour things paid off as we were able to successfully bring in two Roosterfish. First mate Andre worked hard. He and Captain Johnny are a great team and will not disappoint. Great effort! Fished with them last year and will look forward to going again.
