Offshore action! Big Yellowfin Tuna haul

Jul 26, 2025 Tamarindo

We had an amazing offshore trip this Saturday with a solid crew of friends ready to put in the work — and it paid off big time. The energy on board was unbeatable — lots of laughs, teamwork, and good vibes all around. This is what Costa Rica fishing is all about.

Mahi-mahi for these happy fishermen!

Great day out there!

Yellowfin going crazy!

Sep 22, 2024 Tamarindo

Caught a 45lb yellowfin tuna tolling recently. He put up a good fight but he became our supper nonetheless!

Lots of Mahis this days!

3/4 Day Fishing Trip

Boat was not set up for deep sea fishing maybe if it was calm.we paid for 3/4 of a day and and barely made 4 hours. We got drenched with water sitting up front of the boat from the wind and waves. Caught fish right away make sure to pick a big boat and pay the extra if you want to enjoy the trip

Hi Patrick, This time of year is known to be windy. It was the plan from the beginning to head to the 4 nautical mile mark and see how the conditions were. We’ve learnt that we cannot be guided fully by weather forecasts nor by the conditions seen from the beach, since we have had bad forecasts and great conditions offshore. This was clearly not the case with your team, and you all got wet, unfortunately. It seems after you went closer to shore the situation was much better, no? And Captain... More

They should not take people out if weather/wind does not permit the activities that we pay for. We could not fish (captain said too difficult to get out to where fish are) and did not catch any fish. The snorkeling was unsafe and most of group didn’t even get in water. Captain couldn’t really speak English and they don’t really have a bathroom. He told us “no no” to using bathroom and had all his stuff stored in there. Don’t be fooled. They are liars. The captain is super unpleasant... More
