Fish Hunter – 28’ 

I should have known to trust Fishing Booker - I have never had a bad experience when I do. Fishing with Juan was no exception. He and Mate Darin were awesome, first class, and HONEST*. We were fishing immediately, had fish in the boat within 5 minutes of wetting a line. They were always conscious of if we wanted a snack or beverage. They never stayed in one spot too long. Fished several different ways. Juan and Darin really went the extra mile!!!! They also from the very beginning communicated with us. As far as time, location, amount of money to bring. Even assisted in helping us find transportation to Marina. I truly can’t say enough good things about the experience with Captain Juan and Mate Darin and Fishing Booker. * If you don’t book with someone reputable you could get scammed and robbed- trust me from experience . The next time I go to Costa Rica I’ll definitely be booking Juan again. For the record I work in this industry and charter at least 20+ trips annually. Thank you Juan and Darin - great job!!!! Todd

Juan and Alfredo were exceptional guides and put us on the fish rapidly. Patient teachers and willing to do what it takes to have an amazing day. They cleaned all the fish, bagged it and made it ready for us to take. We of course made sure they had plenty as well. For inshore fishing, although we ran 30 miles or so, just an incredible day.

The early day started out with rain and ruff surf but the Captain and mate preserved and put us on three Rooster and one large Cubrea and all four were fun fights!!

The bite was slow but Juan José and Rafael did an excelente job and did not stop looking for spots until we were able to find a nice Red Snapper and a great sized rooster.

Captain Jose and mate Rafael were great. We didn’t find the roosterfish we had hoped for (not their fault, bad time of year for them) and were smart and quick to change plans and take us to the fish. Spent the last half of the trip catching rainbow tuna and a beautiful dorado (on light tackle). Overall, great day thanks to captain and crew! Thank you

We really enjoyed our trip with captain Tito and Roy. They took care of us and worked hard to make sure we caught fish. Much better than our last experience in Mexico However when we were returning to the marina they put a sign up facing the front of the boat which read "the tip is 20% of the price of the trip". This lead to an awkward situation because we had no more cash on us. We had given him all our money at the start of the trip which included a %12 tip - we just rounded up $720 to $800. And where we come from that would be considered a decent tip. We're blue collar people and this fishing trip and coming to CR is our retirement dream trip which we have been saving for for years. So for the sake of us common folk please clearly detail what the minimum gratuity % is expected by the captain when we are shopping for and booking these trips through your app. That is the upfront and ethical way to operate a business. Nobody enjoys an embarrassing situation at the end of what was a wonderful experience. Reg Russell

dorado and ahi caught, great time!

Great day aboard Fish Hunter! Juan Jose and Rafael were amazing in every aspect of the trip. Plenty of fish, Rooster, Snapper, Corvina and Jack!!!

Wanted to at least try for a rooster fish even though it wasn't the best time of the year for them. They eluded us, so we headed out to the snapper fishing grounds and the action picked up. Caught many different varieties of snapper and enjoyed the day.

The bite was slow and most boats headed home. Captain Juan found us snapper and made a great trip under difficult circumstances. Bravo
