"I have captained boats all over the world before deciding to buy my own boat and settle down in Costa Rica. The year-round warm climate, calm seas, and abundance of fish, make it the perfect location for saltwater fishing." Captain Skeet Warren has captained many boats in his 30 years of fishing, and he’s long considered the 42’ Bertram one of the best overall for fishing.
