You will be fishing with Capt. Frank, a San Jose native, who greet fishing in Tamarindo. His personal repertoire includes the waters of the East Coast of the USA, where he spent 6 years learning the language and mastering the cast.

Since 1992, Capt. Frank has been guiding his clients and friends. He specializes in high-quality fishing experience for anglers of all ages and skill levels. Capt. Frank will take you battling anything from Black and Striped Marlin to Sailfish, Snapper, Wahoo, and Roosterfish.

You will be heading out aboard the ‘Coyote Tres’, a beautiful 35’ Carolina classic. She comes powered by a pair of Cummins engines and can cruise at a hair-raising speed of 28 knots. The Coyote Tres is equipped with a toilet on board, along with an air-conditioned cabin to beat the heat. She is also rigged with a fighting chair if you are up to a challenge.

Your trips will include everything bud the necessary fishing licenses. If you feel like fishing in September and October, you will need to contact the captain by clicking on the ‘Contact the Captain’ button on the bottom of the page.
