A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM) on November 19, 2025 • 2 adults

What can I say… wow, wow, and re-wow! My boyfriend and I went on a full-day offshore fishing trip with Captain Jerry and his crew (Jose and Juan Carlo), and it was one of the most exciting fishing days ever! The mahi-mahi were on fire, and so were the sailfish. Cowboy's team are true professionals. We caught at least 8 sailfish (at one point we had 5 on the lines at the same time and managed to bring 3 to the boat!), and we landed 11 mahi-mahi. I may have lost count because it was absolutely insane — doubles and triples happening over and over again. The Captain and crew were nonstop busy, and so were we! This is a day we will never forget. Fish aren't always on fire like this, but let me tell you one thing… these guys know exactly what they're doing, and they will put you on fish. I'd say: don't hesitate — JUST DO IT!!!

Jerry, Carlos & Jose were exceptional. The catch was a bit slow, but Jerry managed to put us on five beautiful sailfish. Carlos & Jose were knowledgeable, helpful and damn good mates. I'll be looking to book another trip in the next six months and these guys will be my first choice.. tight lines Jerry…..,👍🏻

Perseverance

Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM) on January 6, 2026 • 5 adults

On a day when only two other boats caught a single sailfish, captain Juan Carlos and shipmate Jose allowed us to stay out an extra hour until we finally caught a sailfish. While we were hoping for more, it was clear that our captain and crew were doing everything they could to make our fishing trip worth it.

Amazing Day Offshore Fishing!!!

Full Day Trip - Offshore on April 16, 2025 • 2 adults

My husband and I had an incredible day fishing the waters of Costa Rica! The Captain and crew were the best! Very nice and definitely experienced. We caught a bunch of live bait to get the day started and we ended up catching 4 Tuna and 2 Sailfish! Would have been 3 Sailfish but one got away. We had a great lunch and they even made fresh sashimi with the Tuna we caught and it was delicious! Hands down the best day ever and a wonderful part of our honeymoon trip. Will definitely book them again. We can't wait to bring back our kids and catch some more with Cowboy!!!

Outstanding experience!!!

Full Day Trip - Offshore on February 13, 2025 • 4 adults

Captain Jerry and his crew Jose and Juan carlos were superb! They went the extra mile to make sure we caught fish. There were boats around us jigging and using other artificials despite not catching tuna we used our live bonito up quickly and caught one yellowfin and broke off two very large ones . We did t catch on jigging so he left and found some more live dorado and filled our 16 tuna tubes. The game was then on and we caught five more excellent yellowfin. We had sashimi after the fish had cooled! Great skills , great guys, great service. Loved it!!
