Javier Cortesespinoza

Member since July 2023 Quepos, Costa Rica
Background
Capt. Javier runs trips out of Quepos aboard a 28’ Shamrock vessel. These waters are known for Mahi Mahi and Marlin and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or jigging. With extensive knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
