Beautiful day and hard working crew!
Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on April 2, 20262 adults

A gorgeous day and a great boat…..along with a hard working crew made for a great experience! We caught several small tuna right away, which was fun, then they were promptly turned into bait for some big fish. And dang, We missed a couple big ones; however, we did catch a bunch of small fish on the reef, which made it a lot of fun as well. Erika was a great communicator, and captain and two crew members worked hard to try and put us on fish all day long even if we only got a few. It was still a fun great experience with good friends and a few cervazas; I highly recommend for easy and fun trip for family or experienced fisherman. Erika even made it easy for me to pick up my rod which I accidentally left on the boat. The first mate made a special trip just for me the next say and I was extremely grateful. Thanks for a great day on the water.

Fish weren't biting but still a beautiful day on the water.
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on March 9, 20266 adults

The crew did a wonderful job trying to put us on some fish but it just wasn't meant to be. The food and service were great. However, I booked this trip with the explicit goal of fishing for rooster fish, which the captain was made aware of at the time of booking. We were informed by the boat staff that a large boat, using lures rather than live bait and the waters which we were cruising, were all wrong for rooster fishing. It was a slight disappointment but the trip was still a good day.

Unforgettable
Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on September 9, 20252 adults

The crew is awesome. They walked us through everything and were very professional. First we caught bait fish on tge way to the fishing spots. within a few minutes we were hooked on. landed that one and then another. Once it got warm things slowed down but they passed the time with fresh fruit and ceviche. All around worth it and definitely recommend them.

Flamingo Sportfishing is not just a team of professional anglers. Their love and passion for the water is simply contagious. All of the captains are either local anglers or have spent decades and decades exploring the waters of Costa Rica. A day with them will not only result in great catches from the secret spots, but will also leave you wanting to come back time and time again.
