Randy Crawford•New Mexico, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAWESOME!!!
3/4 Day Trip on April 28, 2026 • 6 adultsThe BEST! We have traveled and booked many deep sea fishing tours over nearly 40 years, and this one was BY FAR THE VERY BEST. We were skeptical about everything, as most of our adventures have been in and around Mexico/Carribbean, etc. Everything was as advertised, no extra fees, no extra bs for bait, fuel, boat changes, licenses, etc. David, his wife, Juan Jose (Mootee), and Luis (20!) were phenomenal!! Communication was perfect, easy, meeting was also, lunch was great, and the boat was clean and stocked with plenty of snacks, drinks, beer, etc. AND we caught 3 sailfish and 1 Mahi Mahi. They were so good at spotting them and helping us and our wives get the job done. They were also so friendly and interactive, and organized as heck. GO BOOK WITH THEM!!!

3/4 Day Trip on November 7, 2025 • 4 adultsWe had a great time fishing with this group. They were all very nice and easy to get along with. Everyone in our group reeled in fish. We actually went in a little early, by our request, becuase we caught enough and we were all worn out. We would for sure recommend them and would book with them in the future.

Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review! 🎣 Hearing that this was the BEST fishing trip you've had in nearly 40 years of deep sea fishing truly means the world to us. We work hard to keep everything transparent with no hidden fees or surprises, so we're very happy you appreciated that. David, Sara, Juan, and Luis will be thrilled to hear your kind words! Catching 3 sailfish and a mahi while enjoying a clean, fully stocked boat and great service is exactly the experience we aim to provide every day in Tamarindo. Thank you again for trusting us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable fishing adventure in Costa Rica!
David and crew were amazing. They worked tirelessly to put us on fish. we were able to catch grouper, snapper and a sailfish! The crew was friendly and very accommodating! The instructions on how to find them were clear and easy. David had someone waiting on us at shore to make sure we got to where we needed to be. They provided a plethora of snacks and drinks on board. Fantastic day all the way around. Thank you for a fabulous experience!
