About the charter captain
Quepos, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica
Stan is a retired US Army Special Forces veteran who started saltwater fishing as a child. Growing up, he spent most of his time outdoors hunting and fishing. By his teens, he was hooked and fished his way up and down the North Carolina coast. As a teenager, he always said he was going to buy a boat and catch the big ones. He quickly learned that boats and his fishing obsession were expensive, sparking his entrepreneurial spirit. While still on Active Duty, he started a small, part-time business with the goal of making enough money to buy his first offshore boat. That part-time business grew under his leadership and allowed him to expand his fishing obsession. After his first offshore boat, he bought a second one and opened his first charter business in Carolina Beach, NC. Stan is now on his fourth boat and has been fishing in Costa Rica for close to a decade. He is married to Michele, who is just as passionate about fishing and encourages females to become part of the offshore fishing world.

He put us right on the fish, and we had non-stop action throughout the day. His years of experience and calm confidence made the whole trip smooth and exciting. A huge shoutout to the mates onboard—these...

Epic Sailfish day!!
We had an amazing day on Reel Freedom. I've fished out of Quepos numerous times and our entire group thought Reel Freedom, Captain Bill and his team ran a spectacular boat. We had a rather large group of friends and all 7 of us caught sailfish - ended up landing 11 overall. Not only did Bill put us on the fish but his guys were great at keeping everyone engaged. The equipment was top notch and the boat was perfect for a larger group. Lunch was excellent !! I would absolutely go fishing...
