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!

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.

Booked a second trip and had even more fun catching fish! Haysen is the hardest working and most knowledgeable guide. A+. 10/10. He has lived in Gulfito his whole life. Also speaks perfect English.
