8 Hour Trip – The Méndez Expedition
Best Crew Ever – Unforgettable Fishing Trip
We went out with six of us total, and it was hands down one of the best days we’ve had in Costa Rica. The crew on Los Méndez treated us like kings from start to finish — super friendly, attentive, and always making sure we were comfortable. We even caught a beautiful, nice-sized tuna — the first catch of our lives! The excitement on board was unreal. The boat is spacious, clean, and has everything you need for a great day at sea. Between the fishing, the views, and the top-notch service, this was an experience we’ll never forget. Can’t wait to come back!

8 Hour Trip – The Méndez Expedition
Hands Down the Best Charter in Herradura & Jaco
I’ve fished with just about every charter in the Herradura and Jaco area over the past few years, and I can honestly say — this one is on another level. From the moment we arrived, everything felt organized and professional. The boat was spotless, fully stocked, and super comfortable. Perfect for both serious fishing and relaxing with the family. The kids had a blast with snacks, video games, cold drinks, and even Wi-Fi on board. But what really sets this trip apart is the captain and crew. I’ve never met a team more committed to making sure everyone is having a great time. They’re not just friendly — they actually know the water. We went out deep, hooked into some monsters, and had one of the most productive fishing days I’ve ever had in Costa Rica. Whether you’re fishing with friends, bringing the kids, or just want a solid day on the water, this is the charter you want. It’s rare to find something this well-rounded — and I can confidently say I won’t be booking with anyone else moving forward.

Boat better suited for touring.
This is a nice boat with air conditioned cabin and comfortable seating. If you want to fish in comfort and are not worried about catching fish, then this is your boat. If you want a dedicated fishing charter fully equipped and ready to target whatever is biting, this is not the boat for you.
