My Wife and I had a great time on the water, the fishing was slow but it's called fishing and not catching for a reason! Captain Juan and Mate Nesmer were awesome! Nesmer and I chatted all day like we were old friends, they made us feel very comfortable and asking often if we needed anything like snacks, drinks, food, etc. I caught a beautiful Sailfish, we had several Wahoo bites and I also caught a Skipjack. It is one of the smaller offshore boats but 2 of us were very comfortable and it had a toilet which is a bonus! Overall fantastic day! Thank you Juan and Nesmer!
Thank you so much for this amazing and thoughtful review! 😊 You're absolutely right it's called fishing, not catching, and we love your attitude. We're so happy you and your wife still had a fantastic day on the water and were able to land a beautiful sailfish, plus a skipjack and some exciting wahoo action 🎣🔥 Captain Juan and Mate Nesmer will be especially happy to hear your kind words. Making guests feel comfortable, relaxed, and taken care of is exactly what we aim for, and it's great to hear the conversation and service made the day even more memorable. We're also glad you appreciated the comfort of the boat even on a smaller offshore boat, having space, a restroom, and good vibes makes all the difference. Thank you again for choosing us, and we truly hope to fish with you both again in the future!
Outstanding day on the water! Juan and Kendall know their business. We caught a variety of palegic fish. i dont normally leave reviews, but this crew deserves a shout out. within 20 mins of leaving the marina, we were at the fishing grounds and had fish on the line. Cannot wait to roll with these guys again!
Captain Juan and mate José were experienced and eager to help make the best 1/2 fishing plan. Their English was good enough and we were lucky to have a big marlin on after 15-20 minutes of trolling 3-4 miles out. Fought it for 2 1/2 hours and brought it up to the boat and surface to release per Costal Rica regs. The boat would not have been big enough even if we could have kept it. 4 in our party.
Thank you for fishing with us! 🎣 Landing and releasing a marlin after a 2.5-hour fight is something most anglers only dream about! We're glad Captain Juan and mate José could help create such a memorable day offshore. Finishing the trip with grouper and snapper for dinner made it even better. Hope to see your group back in Tamarindo for another adventure soon!
We had luck within 5 mins of starting to drop bait. 4 sailfish that were beautiful! Then on return we wanted to catch something to eat. Got two red snapper, several grouper & tilefish! Thanks to David & Jose for a wonderful day! Best Fishing Day We EVER HAD!
Thank you so much for this amazing review! 🎣 Four sailfish, red snapper, grouper, and tilefish in one day, what a trip! We're so happy David and Jose could give you the best fishing day you've ever had. Hope to welcome you back to Tamarindo soon!
