Vi startede med at fange nogle skipjack tun, og senere fik vi et par hug, men derefter blev det lidt stille. Vi prøvede derfor at jigge lidt, og da vi havde omkring 20 minutter tilbage, valgte vi at begynde at trolle igen. Kort efter huggede en yellowfin tun.

Selvom tiden egentlig var gået, ville kaptajnen gerne hjælpe mig med at fange en sailfish, så vi fortsatte med at trolle på vej ind mod land. Det endte med, at vi fangede en stor sailfish — en perfekt afslutning på turen!

Besætningen var utrolig hjælpsomme, især med at guide min partner og vise hende, hvordan man gjorde. Vi havde begge en helt fantastisk oplevelse og kan varmt anbefale denne chartertur!

Caught a sailfish right off the bat. Fought another for a while but it came off. Had several others hit including a marlin. Eymhus is awesome and apparently very knowledgeable in the billfish category because that was a lot of action in a short period time. We pretty much sold out on billfish, but slid in for a little jigging action and a battle with a shark to finish the trip. Had a blast fishing with Eymhus’s young son too. If i come back to costa rica, my boys are definitely going to be on this trip. I just cant get over what he can accomplish from that little boat. Great work crew! God bless you guys.

We were informed in the morning that Capt. Eymus had a boat issue and his brother Henry ” the kingfisher” would be taking us out on his boat. Not a problem as Henry showed us a good trip even though the weather was not so good. Henry worked his tail off trying to get fish to bite despite the rouge sea. We could see fish stacked up on the graph at his favorite spot but could not get them to cooperate for us. He changed lures, colors and speed but no luck. We moved to a new area and Henry put on his “lucky” lure and we started catching fish. He showed great determination in getting fish on the line.

My 6-year-old daughter and I had an unforgettable morning on the water with Captain Eymhus and First Mate Juan. We launched from the beach in Tamarindo around 7AM aboard the Pichel - I’ll admit I was a little nervous about the smaller boat, but Eymhus put me at ease immediately. When he learned we had a young one on board, he made a thoughtful call to stay within 6 miles of shore. He even mentioned he had a 13-year-old daughter of his own.
Once we cleared the national park boundary about ~3 miles out, we dropped lines and began trolling the reef. For the next four hours, Eymhus and Juan worked tirelessly - swapping lures, monitoring the radio, reading the water - all while making sure my daughter was having the time of her life. They pointed out flying manta rays and dolphins, expertly navigated the wake from larger boats, and kept the mood fun and engaging throughout. A little wind-driven spray was the only reminder we were at sea.

With just 15 minutes left before we planned to head in, magic happened. A sailfish appeared behind our lines. Eymhus calmly coaxed it into striking, and ten minutes later we were celebrating a landed sailfish on the near the deck. The boat erupted. Watching my daughter’s face in that moment is something I’ll never forget.
If you’re visiting Tamarindo and debating whether to book an authentic fishing trip that won’t break the bank - especially with kids - stop debating. Captain Eymhus and Juan delivered a world-class experience. Highly recommend.

Captain Eymhus and his crew were above and beyond! A true Sport Fishing Experience in Costa Rica! We ended up Landing a 70-80 lb Wahoo which was insane! A long fight! we were able to get the fish in nicely with how experienced the Captain and the crew are! These guys are awesome and extremely nice. This was a trip My family and I will never forget! I highly recommend this outfit and will definitely book with them again if returning to this area!!! All in all a 10 out of 10!!! Wahoooo!!!!!
