⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captain Jose and mate Greiban are the real deal. My wife and I booked Hidalgo Sportfishing specifically to chase sailfish, and they delivered in a big way — we landed 4! These two are as friendly, knowledgeable, and professional as it gets. You can tell immediately that they know these waters inside and out. Don't let the boat's appearance fool you compared to some of the flashier charters in the area — it has everything you need and then some. But honestly, the boat is secondary. The captain and mate are the difference-maker, and I believe they could out-fish anyone operating in the area. My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If we're ever back in the area, we're not even bothering to look at other charters. Hidalgo Sportfishing is our first and only call. Highly recommend without hesitation.

Fuimos en familia alentado por uno de mis hijos fanatico de la pesca, y fue una experiencia inolvidable, fuimos en la mañana en la modalidad inshore. pescamos todos aunque no tuvieramos experiencia gracias a la pericia del Capitan Tito Hidalgo, una persona increible que en todo momento nos hizo sentir seguros y felices. El tamaño de los peces es ENORME !! fue la actividad familiar mas divertida que tuvimos, junto con otro dia de rafting. MUY Recomendable !!!

captain and first mate were top notch. Ive taken guided trips in Florida, Texas, Alaska, California, and Boston — and i put him at the top. why? hes relaxed, flexible, hard working, good with kids, and wants to put you on fish. he allowed me to bring my own tackle, and i appreciated his flexibility in tailoring the trip exactly as i requested. we had 4 kids along, and we caught so many fish they got tired of reeling them in. The best part of the day for me personally was taking a 118' sailfish with a travel rod and a 3500 reel. it was a spectacular day we will never forget. i cannot thank Captain enough. he is truly special at what he does and truly cares about your experience on the water.

This was easily one of the best fishing experiences I've ever had. The two-man crew was outstanding — knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. They knew exactly where to go, how to read the water, and worked incredibly well together. Their expertise showed immediately when we started hooking fish. Within a few hours, I had crossed two major bucket-list species off my list: two beautiful sailfish and over a dozen mahi mahi. The sailfish fights were spectacular — exactly what I'd hoped for. The crew's coaching and quick action on the boat made sure I landed both of them safely. The mahi mahi bite was nonstop at times, and the colors on these fish are just insane in person. We had constant action, laughs, and perfect weather to top it all off. Everything was top-notch: the boat was clean and well-equipped, the tackle was high-quality, and the crew made sure I felt safe and comfortable the entire day. They were prepared for some epic photos for me too. If you're thinking about going fishing in Costa Rica, book this charter without hesitation. Whether you're an experienced angler or just looking to check off bucket-list species, this crew will deliver an amazing day on the water. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Costa Rica! Highly recommended. Thank you, you guys made it a trip I'll remember forever!

We had an amazing days fishing with Jose and the captains mate. Nothing was too much trouble. Great food and drink on the boat and a lovely friendly atmosphere! Caught a sailfish, which was an amazing creature to see, made our day, and was down to the local knowledge and experience of Jose and mate who worked tirelessly all day to maximise every chance of catching. To top the day off and on the way back to port we had a boat stop to do snorkelling and saw some amazing marine fish! Would recommend these guys every time! Made a day to remember for us and will definitely return to them to do the inshore trip to catch a rooster fish! ❤️😊.
