Running angling trips out of Quepos, Cowboy Fishing Boat invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Captain Jerry will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 5 to 9-hour trips, mainly fishing for Mahi-Mahi, Roosterfish, Marlin, Wahoo, Snook, and Snapper, depending on the season and conditions of the day.

Your adventure begins on board a 30’ Bertram boat that can fit a maximum of 5 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet, ice box, and a fighting chair with rocket launchers and outriggers.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip.

You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip, with Billfish being catch and release only. Any fish you keep can be cleaned and filleted, as well as cooked in the Marina.

There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated.

The boat will be supplied with snacks, drinks, and lunch for your pleasure, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Cowboy 30’ Bertram Express Fishing Boat.

Full Day Trip - Offshore

Amazing Day Offshore Fishing!!!

VERIFIED

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!!!

Full Day Trip - Offshore

Amazing time on the cowboy

VERIFIED

The crew on the cowboy was awesome and were ready to go within seconds of arriving. Captain had great knowledge of the area and where to go for the fish. We had started off fishing for bait and his tuna pods were filled up quick. While we were wrapping up out bait run the crew through out a live on and we hooked up on a nice sail fish almost immediately. We had then gone out to the tuna grounds and there were jumping. All and all it was great time and highly recommend them. Hope to come back soon.

We first did a full day offshore with Captain Jerry, Juan Carlos and Jose in July 2023, and we had an amazing day. So we thought we should ride the Cowboy again, and wow! This trip surpassed the first one, which is saying something. 5 tuna and 1 sailfish. Fabulous lunch, with music and snacks throughout the day. Captain and crew could not have been better. We’re already starting to think about scheduling the next one, because we’ll be back! Great day!!

The captian was waiting at the perarranged spot. We picked up our licenses and after quick walk to boat, we were under way in minutes. It took the fish a little while to wake up but then we were on fire , 3 Sails and 8 bonito in short order I've done some offshore fishing, so when I say these guys are very professional never stopped trying, Its fact. The fresh pineapple and sandwiches were excellent, plenty of bottled water, cokes and beers if you were so inclined, I actually cut the trip short because the wife was under the weather. I will absolutely use them again and will tell all my offshore fishing friends.

Outstanding experience!!!

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!!
