Looking to cast a line in Golfito? That's what Not Too Bad Tours is here for!

Depending on the season, you might hook into Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Broomtail Grouper, African Pompano Jack, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Sailfish, Snook, Yellowfin Tuna, and whatever else is biting.

Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Haysen also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Capt. Haysen welcomes children aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that everyone stays happy and energized!

You'll find yourself aboard a 23' Caribe Pro center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks available on board.

Now, come aboard with Not Too Bad Tours and get hooked!

Great Experience, highly recommended
Full day in shore on February 28, 20262 adults
Haysen was awesome! I wanted to fish certain techniques for an uncommon species that most captains won't even allow you to do. Haysen was at our service perfectly! He is very pleasant and professional. Not the typical drunken arrogant jackass you find in this price range. I highly recommend him! His boat and equipment were well above average for this price range. You're not going to find a better value than this. The waters in this area are full of a variety of species and lots of action.

Great day of fishing
Half Day In shore on March 5, 20262 adults
We really enjoyed our day of fishing with Captain Haysen. We caught our bait, and he took us to some good fishing spots. We met our limit of fish to bring back - snapper and mackeral, and had fun catching a jack crevalle. The boat was the perfect size for two of us and Haysen. He took great care of us, and is an excellent captain and fisherman. He was dedicated to us catching some fish, and it was very appreciated. Next time we want to stock our freezer, we'll call him.

Fantastic Charter
Half Day In shore on January 9, 20261 adult
I have charted fishing trips, literally all around the world. Haysen Guzman is a fantastic captain who worked insanely hard to find fish. We had an amazing day nailing a bunch of rooster, fish, snappers, and a really large Jack. The boat is solid, runs very well and gets you out to the fishing grounds pretty quickly. And then Haysen shows his years of experience and really knows how to target the fish. As I said I have charted everywhere, and this was literally one of my best trips ever.

Best Charter I've Ever Been On
Full day in shore on May 24, 20262 adults
I've fished around this whole world and this is by far the best guy I've ever booked a charter with. Heyson is very personable and humble. The fish was the cherry on top, hanging with him was the best part.
