    Roosterfish!

    4 hour fishing am on September 26, 2026 • 3 adults

    Had a great trip with Captain Gavo and Jose. Arranged to have live bait available and had a roosterfish hooked within 15 minutes. They were attentive making sure we had snacks and drinks all day. They had all high quality Shimano and Penn gear that was in good condition. Highlight of the day was catching a large rock snapper. Our angler was initially having trouble fighting the fish, but the crew was so helpful in encouraging her and helping her get the fish in. Huge smiles all around. Thanks guys, see you again soon!

    Another great trip

    4 hour fishing pm on November 11, 2026 • 4 adults

    Another great trip with Gavo and Jose. Fished for rooster fish and then did some bottom fishing. Highlight was fighting a very large Cubera Snapper that we unfortunately lost at the boat. Captain worked through a tough bite trying different things to get us something to bring home for dinner.

    Fish with these guys!

    Half day inshore pm on July 5, 2026 • 2 adults

    Excellent team of brother fisherman. Clean, organized and professional. Their love for fishing is obvious. This is not at all a simple tourist trip as they are going to work hard to get you the targeted species. We caught several great Roosterfish and lost a monster at the boat. Also caught a few big yellow jacks. This was on an afternoon charter. Will fish with them again.

    greatest familyfriendly adventure

    4 hour fishing am on July 9, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    The trip of a lifetime! My three young daughters, my wife and myself had an amazing time. the captain and deckhand were the best. they made sure my daughters ages 11,13 and 15 had an experience of a lifetime out on the waters. The experience created a family trip that will be in our memories for ever. I highly recommend this crew and enjoy the experience.

    Half day trip

    Half day offshore am on June 6, 2026

    We had a great time with Gavo and his brother Jose. They put us on the mahi and also got to reel in a yellow fin tuna. Couldn’t ask for any more than the absolute meat haul we went on. We will be eating mahi and tuna all week while we’re here. Kids had a blast and have memories that will last a lifetime time! Thanks guys!

    Came all the way to costa rica to catch some fish after a 12 hour of day of nothing. Booked this charter night before in hopes of catching a rooster before heading home. Even though conditions were rough I asked to catch some rooster and they delivered!
