Our family of 4 went Sport fishing with “Costa Tamarindo sport fishing adventures” and we had an absolute blast. My boys ages 7 & 15 had an experience of a lifetime. My 15 year old son’s wish was to catch a Marlin. We had planned this trip to Costa Rica just for that ! And did they deliver!! We not only caught many Blue Marlin, we caught a Black Marlin and some Sail fish. We also saw lots of Tuna and Dolphins!
The crew was incredible with assisting us, and the food and drink they brought on board was delicious !!! Booking was easy and we felt safe.
We can’t thank them enough for a once in a lifetime experience and for granting my son’s wish.

Ronnie and his crew were so thoughtful throughout the booking and planning process. They contacted us to ensure we were prepared and wanted to tailor the experience specifically to our likes! We can thank them enough for such a special day!

Capt Novel was great along with the mate. Started off the morning inshore in search of a rooster fish and we were able to cross that species off the list within the first hour and a half. Had a miss hit within the first 5min but fish missed the bait and bailed. Then started heading offshore trolling the entire time from inshore. Was slow for a while but then it happened. Hooked up onto about a 40lb wahoo, got him in the boat. Continued to head out till we found some birds, dolphins and fish. Trolled the bait pods and hooked into a yellowfin tuna, 60lb, got it in the boat. Great gaff job from Capt Novel on both wahoo and tuna. Continued to fish the bait pods and had multiple missed marlin and sails. Ended up finally having a sail bite the hook. Got that up to the boat, got our picture, and a clean release from the capt. continued the day and had a few more marlin smack baits but not take the hook (why it’s called fishing and not catching) although we had already caught. Finished the day like that and came back in saw a humpback whale was a little bonus. They provided sufficient drinks and food/ snacks which was plenty for us for the day. Overall a fantastic experience and couldn’t have have asked for a better day.

Nobel was our Captain, and Luis was his crew and fishing assistant.  The shore person received us, handled the payment and pointed us to the water.
They did an amazing job.  They were punctual and assisted us every step of the way. Capt Nobel took us out to where the fish were.  We caught 4 and 1 got away.  The fish were cleaned and we took them home for dinner.  We were offered drinks and snacks.  I would highly recommend these guys to other vacationers who want a fun fishing experience!

Went out with my 11 yr old son and his Grandfather.  Capt Novel was great! We caught a few Rainbow Runners and a Mahi Mahi earlier in the morning and I lost a Mahi Mahi.  Everyone had a great time.  Cooler full of beer, pop and snacks.
Caught enough fish for Poke Bowls.  Would highly recommend this trip.

I booked this charter originally for three people but two backed out at the last minute so I went solo. Was met promptly at the agreed location and was on the boat by 7am sharp. The boat was a modest panga stocked with plenty of beer, snacks, water and soda. Captain Novell asked what kind of fish I was looking to catch and as this was my first time in CR I left it up to him. 5 minutes into the trip we saw breaching humpback whales and tons of tortoises. Started to troll and hooked up on some blackfin tuna almost immediately. Within the next two hours we caught 3 yellowfin and a couple more blackfin. Novell asked if I wanted to do some jigging so we did and had no luck. Tried out some bottom fishing and lost what I can only assume were some giants. Went back to trolling for the remainder of the day and hooked three more yellowfin. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Not big conversationalists but they definitely know what they’re doing and where the fish are. I left with at least 20lbs of cleaned tuna that I cooked no more than an hour later and was delicious.

I read the reviews for this company and like most people went right to the bad ones which, in my opinion, were unwarranted. You should do your research before booking a charter. Mainly, know the season,  the weather and the conditions. If you’re on an open boat in high seas, you WILL get wet. That’s not the fault of the captain. And remember, it’s called fishing, not catching.

Highly recommend!!!!
