Based out of the community of Tamarindo Beach, Capullo Sportfishing aims to provide a memorable experience on the northwest Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The seas around Tamarindo are famous for being one of the prime spots for world-class sportfishing in Central America.
Capt. Manuel Leal and First Mate Cheyenne Rosales have been fishing together for 25 years. They consistently provide expert service and will work tirelessly to ensure you have a fun time. They are happy to cater to the individual desires of their clients and excel at instructing beginners, both young and old. They will show you how to fish and land your own catch and can also work with veteran anglers to plan the perfect trip.
Their boat is a 36’ Topaz offshore sportfisher that runs on a pair of 400 HP Caterpillar Diesel engines. Freshly painted and refitted in 2023, now with a baby blue hull, new comfortable deck seating & roof covering. She also boasts a 14 foot beam instead of the traditional 12 foot making her very stable & ready to take up to 8 anglers out for an adventure!
The trip packages on offer are geared for targeting Sailfish, Blue, Black and Striped Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Roosterfish, Snapper and many others. If you manage to catch Tuna or Mahi Mahi, Capt. Manuel can use it to prepare some finger-licking Sashimi.
You’ll have the very best fishing tackle and equipment at your disposal included in the trip price. Complimentary drinks, fruit & light snacks will also be waiting for you on board, with sandwiches being served on longer trips. This part of Costa Rica is a great place to be fishing all year-round, so come on down for a taste!

This charter met our expectations. The captain and crew hunted down fish for us to catch. We ended up on a large blue fin tuna, that tasted amazing. Crew Cheyenne had a special concoction to serve the fresh tuna in and it was amazing. Word on the street, it’s his wife’s recipe! We also landed a good sized mahi. We were having such a great time, we ended up drinking all the beer on the boat, but the crew somehow coordinated with another vessel off shore and arranged a special delivery of beer, which lasted us the rest of the day. The crew went above and beyond to make our charter the best it could be. We had a great day, had a lot of fun, and would recommend this charter to anyone. 
Catching a Pacific Sailfish was on my bucket list and Capullo made it happen but it wasn’t just one it was FOUR! Manuel and Cheyenne were awesome in every aspect! Was the trip of a lifetime for me! Thank you for making it happen Team Capullo. I will be back for sure!
our group had amazing time on this charter. we caught a couple big sailfish and the crew was incredible!! Everything was great. they provided everything we needed and more. highly recommend! wish we had more time here to book another trip
great crew and great trip

Two daughters, my wife and I went fishing with Manuel and Cheyenne on the big boat. The only hiccup happened right out of the gate when we got drenched by a big wave on the dingy out...thanks Cheyenne! Both daughters landed sailfish in the AM. We switched to reef fishing in the PM and lost count of the number of tuna we boated. We actually started throwing them back! 4 people and none of us kept count. We'll say 19 in the boat with one skip jack and one rainbow runner (which we had cooked at El Chiringuito and was better than delicious). It was a long day and we were tired of catching! My girls haven't stopped talking about it yet which is truly an outdoor oddity! I would definitely suggest this charter service.
If you're searching for the pinnacle of deep-sea fishing adventures, look no further than this unforgettable trip! From the moment we boarded the boat, we knew we were in for something special. The boat itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and equipped with all the latest technology. With comfortable seating, a well-stocked galley, and a dedicated crew, it felt more like a luxury yacht than a fishing vessel. The fish-finding equipment was top-notch, making sure we were always on the hunt for the big ones. The crew were absolute legends. Professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, they were more than just guides; they were passionate fishing enthusiasts who made every moment of the trip thrilling. They shared tips and tricks, provided hands-on assistance, and ensured that everyone, from novices to seasoned anglers, had the best possible experience. As for the fishing itself—wow. We ventured far offshore into pristine waters, where the fishing was nothing short of spectacular. The thrill of reeling in enormous tuna, was exhilarating. The crew’s expertise ensured that we not only had an amazing catch but also learned a great deal about deep-sea fishing techniques. Between fishing battles, the boat’s amenities made the trip incredibly comfortable. We enjoyed delicious, freshly-prepared fish, and there was plenty of space to relax and take in the breathtaking ocean views. We landed 21 yellow fin fish, and the crew expertly handled and prepared them for us. The experience of fishing in such a beautiful and bountiful part of the ocean was simply unmatched. this deep-sea fishing trip wasn’t just a fishing excursion—it was a full-on adventure, and every detail was executed to perfection. If you’re looking for an exhilarating, luxurious, and memorable fishing experience, this is hands down the best choice. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the thrill of the ocean at its finest!

My family and I did a half day trip with Roy, Captain and Cheyenne. Awesome crew! I’ve been on charter fishing boats before where we caught fish but didn’t have a great time due to the attitude of the crew. That will not EVER happen with this crew. They’re a ton of fun. And we caught a lot of fish! One of which was a large Spanish Mackerel that we grilled for dinner last night. Fantastic! Captain also let my 5- and 7-yr-old boys drive the boat, which they loved. The trip finale was the Captain spotting a huge whale shark, which we delicately circled for about 15 minutes. Highest possible recommendation *****
I took three kids (ages 14, 12, & 8) out on half day trip and we had a great time! Roy, Manuel, and Cheyenne took care of us all morning. The crew is very efficient and experienced and made the most of our time. We limited out on mahi, and had plenty of drinks and snacks. We all loved the fresh homemade granola, fruit, and sashimi as an extra touch. Roy was a great host and made us all feel right at home sharing stories (he has a gift of hospitality!) and helping us get our mahi cooked fresh at a beachside restaurant right after we got back in. My only regret is not doing a 3/4 day to get a little deep water as well as shallow water! Definitely recommend Capullo for great fishing and a great time! J.P. Knox

Captain and Cheyenne were both working hard for us on a slow day. Ended up with a swordfish and a mahi. It was my 6 yr old sons first time deep sea and it went so well!
