Simone Passarelli

Member since June 2023 Nicoya, Costa Rica
Background
Have you always dreamed of sportfishing in Costa Rica? We are located in Playa Samara with decades of experience in this excellent area for inshore and deep water. Our spots are not far away from our base; this makes our displacement to the spot short and allows us to take full advantage of the time on the boat. English, Spanish, and Italian spoken.
Techniques
Fly fishing, trolling and vertical jigging
