What anglers said about fishing in Puntarenas Province

Ask questions about the condition of the boat. I assumed that the A/C would be working to help cool our group. The boat we went on the fishing trip was a bit outdated and the AC wasn't working. It was a very hot and humid day on March 13. Make sure to eat something before the trip or take snacks. People that aren't used to the culture might not always enjoy what the boat has to offer for snacks/meals.

Be prepared for afternoon heat. PRE hydrate. If prone to seasickness, reconsider. Dont drink too much alcohol, makes it hard to fight big fish. Remember some fish are compulsory catch and release. Billfish often explode spectacularly out of the water, keep cameras ready. The biology of the ocean is not under your control; if fish dont hit thats life. Likewise they may hit big time; be ready. Crews are lifelong experts, trust them to do a brilliant job. Pura vida and good fishing.

Ask the captain to explain what the plan was, we were unsure so asked. We did some inshore fishing. They help hook fish and you reel it in. They knew the spots and were excellent at fishing. Recommend the crew and boat.

You should wear protective clothing. We got burnt up pretty good would wear long sleeves, pants and hat to shade face, neck and plenty of sunscreen. If you don't want to be embarrassed tack on 20% of trip price (what you pay captain) for tip.

If youโ€™re really into catching lots of fish you should book for Costa Rica trip around the time that particular fish is running. We had hoped for tuna, but this wasnโ€™t the time to catch tuna. Communication with the captain is essential. We were very happy with the Mahi we caught.

The Mahi were big; there were many sailfish (we had a dozen sailfish hits/fought fish/could see them bite on surface and/or jump), but they would throw the hook before getting them to boat or not hookup long. First time sailfishing for us, so we are not experienced in fishing for them (but we do a lot of fishing). Some were huge too. We were only fishing 19 miles offshore.

I speak enough Spanish to have understood on the radio that it was a slow day. Not for us! 2 sails and 11 tuna. Oh wait, did I mention that one of the sails was 120โ€? Carlos and Nicolas worked hard, were incredibly hospitable, and made the day perfect. 10 out of 10 would recommend! ยกGracias amigos!

We had a great experience with Gitana! The crew was awesome and got us on some snapper quickly. Then they got us on a huge rock snapper and a gigantic cubera snapper! Finally, to top it all off we got a sailfish that was over 7ft long. He put up a heck of a fight! Canโ€™t say enough about the crew though, they were really good and very friendly. We will definitely book with Gitana again.

Despite epic hangovers we had a great out on the water with Chino and Alex! They are very good at what they do, and got all of us a fish. The sashimi Alex made was amazing, and the private chef we hired said the filleting was some of the best he has seen. Will definitely go with them again.

An unforgettable trip with Captain Andy and the Luminare team! Hooked into a 200+ monster Yellow fin tuna. A two hour battle that are group from Delaware will never forget. Captain Andy and his team were relentless in their pursuit in getting us hooked up with this amazing fish. A story we will tell for years to come!!!

This is a fast and stable working boat, extremely well managed. Very expert crew. Four anglers aboard, each lucky with one sailfish each over the course of a 9 hour excursion. Plenty of cold beverages and a delicious sandwich for lunch. A memorable day. Strongly recommended. Having fished up north, as well as the keys, Mexico, CR, possibly the best overall experience. Having said that, truth is, the worst day fishing is better than the best day at work. I think I found my go to charter in MPV.
