This was my 3rd time fishing in Costa Rica. First time on Reckless and this was by far my best trip. Captain Daniel ad Roy were so polite, fun and professional, they worked endlessly to get us on fish all day. We had two triple hook ups of tuna. also caught a rainbow runner, a grouper and finished the day of with a 84" sail. If you're still looking for a charter stop looking and book Reckless right now, you won't regret it.
Loved how fast the boat got us out to start fishing. I've been on the larger boats that always go so slow. We got on the fish pretty quick and I finally landed a nice Sail Fish which was my main goal. Caught a few small Mahi, but unfortunately all too small to keep. Captaij Daniel and Louis knew what they were doing. I would fish with them again.
thanks for choosing us Jordan ! we hope to fish with you again shortly :)
Captain Daniel and deckhand Luis were relentless in finding fish when it seemed to be slow. we ended up getting into them good, as we landed and tagged two sailfish and countless mahi-mahi to take home for TACOS! The boat was great and these guys fish hard! Will definitely book with them again!
Jarrod , it was a pleasure being able to take you and your friends on this offshore experience out of Marina Pez Vela. Thanks for choosing Reckless for your charter. Please visit us again !
I did a full day trip beginning of february, we started by going out for approximately 1 hour, then started trolling with 7 rods + teasers. It only took about half an hour until we caught our first sailfish, then they just kept coming. the largest one was about 110inches. the crew was very nice, english and spanish were spoken, lunch (hamburger) was delicious. I would totally recommend this trip if you want to catch some billfish!
We caught lots of Sails and 2 Marlin. We booked other boats here on different days. These guys were the best.
