A remarkable day! Captain Andres and the first mate Arrixa were spectacular from the moment we set foot on the Mad Marlin. We could not have asked for a better experience. We cruised to Tortuga and put out some lines on the way there and caught a couple big eye tuna and bonitas. We were able to snorkel at Tortuga and then hang at the beach for a while before cruising back toward our hotel at Herradura. Every detail was amazing, especially when they cut up the fresh caught tuna and we enjoyed some sashimi onboard.

If you are looking for a great experience, look no further, just hit the book button!! We will definitely be in touch with Andres for an offshore fishing trip next time we are in Costa Rica.

Pura Vida!!

Captain Andres made everything very easy for my son and I.  First of all, the pre-trip communication was excellent.  ...  We went for Marlin or Sailfish, but could not get them to bite.  We did catch several Mahi and an 80-lb Tuna, which was awesome.  The crew were very professional and attended to every need.  ....  When Captain Andres says it’s an all-day trip, you’d better believe that he’s not done trying to catch some fish for you until you say you are ready to go home.  Great Time!

The crew on the mad marlin was excellent. They went above and beyond for customer service starting with prior coordinations days before the trip was suppose to take place. All expectations were met and far exceeded. Great day on the water with some great fish in the cooler!

The Captain and crew were absolutely excellent and tried very hard to find fish for me. We changed baits, locations etc. The only reason I didn’t give a five star rating was because we didn’t catch anything although it was not from lack of trying. I would definitely recommend taking a trip with the Captain and crew of the Mad Marlin.

We had a wonderful day on the Mad Marlin. Captain Andres and his mate thought of everything. Andres patiently explained all of the options and helped us choose the best for our family trip. He had plenty of delicious snacks, fruits, sandwiches, and drinks for the day. We were able to see dolphins jumping and playing in front of the boat, sea turtles, and even a sea snake! But the highlight of the day was that every person in the family caught a fish! We caught two beautiful sailfish, a couple of tuna and a couple of bonitas. The day could not have been more perfect. We would definitely book with Andres again and hope to come back soon!
