Capullo Sportfishing is a charter service based out of Tamarindo Beach in northwest Costa Rica. They take great care when catering to the individual needs of clients, regardless of age or skill level.
Captain Gerald Ruiz has been fishing out of Tamarindo for 28 years. He takes charter success personally and works tirelessly to ensure that every trip is not only successful but also fun.
His boat is a 22' Boston Whaler center console that's powered by twin 60 HP Yamaha engines. There's plenty of room there for yourself and a pair of friends to head out and have the time of your lives! This vessel will have everything you need for that, from all the necessary safety gear and navigation electronics to a pair of outriggers & tuna tubes as a livewell for bait storage.
These are prime grounds for sportfishing and angling in general, so expect to encounter the likes of Sailfish, Amberjack, Roosterfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Grouper and a number of other species. You can have plenty of success on shorter trips too, so the way you go about it is completely up to you.
Captain Gerald will provide you with all the necessary rods, reels, and tackle for the trip. He'll also clean your catch after the trip is over, so you can just relax and focus on the fish. Make sure to bring your sunglasses & sunscreen!

Fished a 3/4 day with Gerald and my son was able to catch, land and release a beautiful sailfish! We also saw several pods of dolphin, numerous sea turtles, numerous flying fish and a squadron of manta ray! We caught a couple of other small, trash fish but the sailfish really was the cherry on top of a great trip. Fishing was slow but Gerald worked hard the entire time!
Hi Michael, thank you for giving us a great review. we are really happy that your son caught a sailfish. Certainly a wonderful memory to have. We are blessed having so much sealife nearby us. Its always a great day on the ocean. Best regards Louise Capullo Sportfishing
Captain Gerald was very knowledgeable about the local water and came prepared. My groups target goal was to catch rooster fish however was unable to accomplish that goal because rooster fishing had been slow. Captain Gerald did make every attempt to hit that goal. He battled extremely windy conditions which prevented us from Captain Geralds targeted spots for Rooster fishing. The captain kept us busy with that attempt by catching other fish such as, snapper, grouper, tuna, jacks, and other varieties which totaled over 30 different fish for the day. All in all a great charter.
Hi Angela, thank you for your review and although Captain Gerald was not able to get you on the Rooster Fish we are pleased your group had an action packed day with such a variety of fish. We are in the windy season now but the ocean is coming up trumps with so many different types of fish being caught. You will just have to come back again to try for that rooster fish! Best regards Louise Capullo Sportfishing
Fishing Capullo Sportfishing was a great experience. Louise (owner) was very helpful and even met us at the beach before our trip. Our guide Gerald was outstanding in make out trip a success. He worked consistently from start to finish on our trip. He is excellent in targeting Roosterfish, which we did catch. I highly recomment Capullo Sportfishing.
Hi Allan, thank you for your review & great that Gerald got you on the rooster fish. They can be quite elusive although Gerald always tries his hardest to find them. Thanks for sharing the photo. Best regards Louise Capullo Sportfishing
Despite it being a very windy day and we were on a small boat, we were still able to catch two red snapper and a Spanish mackerel. Gerard did an amazing job for me and my two boys!
Hi Michael, Thank you for your review and sharing the photos of the fish you caught. It was a very windy week but pleased that you and your boys enjoyed your afternoon charter and Gerald was able to get you on the fish despite the gnarly conditions. Kind regards Louise Capullo Sportfishing
Although only a 22 ft boat, it was comfortable and the boat captain was great. Caught fish!
Hi Gary, thank you for giving us a review so quickly after your fishing trip. Pleased that you caught some dorado for eating. I'll pass your feedback to Caprain Gerald. best regards Louise Capullo Sportfishing
