  Awesome day!

  Full Day Trip on March 11, 2026 • 2 adults

  Such an amazing day with the absolute best crew!!! This duo worked so hard for the whole 8 hour trip. The captain Betto saw everything from above and his first mate hooked everything- a total of EIGHT sailfish!! They can't be stopped!! They hooked two at the same time, TWICE!! The best fishing trip I have every been on. These guys made our day, they are so nice and we're so excited about every catch. Truly an unbelievable birthday gift to my fiance. Lunch was also so lovely, a nice hot typical costa rican meal prepared by Berni. He took such great care of us. During our double catches he made sure to document EVERYTHING. Yall are awesome, hope we can come back for another trip soon!

  Unforgettable Day on the Water — Seven Sailfish and an Amazing Crew in Costa Rica

  Full Day Trip on February 3, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had an absolutely incredible fishing trip in Costa Rica and couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Captain Christian put us right on the fish, and first mate Betto was outstanding — knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely fun to be around. Thanks to them, we caught seven sailfish, which was beyond exciting and more than we ever expected for one day. They were professional, patient, and made sure everyone felt involved and comfortable the entire trip. The boat was well run, the experience was smooth from start to finish, and the energy on board made the day unforgettable. (Lunch hit the spot) This trip was a highlight of our vacation. Glenn and I will be talking about it for a long time and would 100% recommend this guide to anyone looking for a top-notch fishing experience in Costa Rica. Donna I Can’t say enough about this experience, Christian, Betto and Angelo went out of their way to accommodate Donna and myself. Memories for a lifetime! I hope I can make it back one day. SEVEN Sailfish with Donna’s coming in at 106 inches. Ended the day with Pura vida! Glenn

  Core Sportfishing Memory Unlocked

  Half Day Trip on April 6, 2026 • 6 adults

  After several hours of fishing without any luck, despite the best efforts of the captain and crew, we hooked a SAILFISH. A gorgeous 92" sailfish that my teenager and his cousin jointly reeled in. All of us were beyond excited about the catch and the captain got a few amazing pictures of us with the fish. It would have been nice to catch additional fish during our half-day trip, but my son and his cousin will never forget landing such a beautiful fish. Nor will I.

  Jaco fishing trip

  Full Day Trip on January 28, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had an excellent fishing charter with Hooked up fishing. We are fishermen who go on an international charter annually, and fish in Michigan weekly and have done so for about 25 years. Between the two of us, for this charter, I wanted to fish near shore to catch dinner and roosters and my buddy wanted to trophy fish. The crew were very accommodating and worked very hard to accomplish both. We did wonderfully. I got my first ever Cuberra snapper and rock snapper (which were absolutely delicious) Then we went off shore to find bigger game. We went 3 for 5 on sailfish. An amazing experience catching my first sailfish also. We got to see a giant turtle, bottle nose dolphins, humpback whales, pilot whales and amazing scenery. We absolutely loved the day. Captain Christian, Mate Beto and Mate David were excellent, they worked very very hard to accomplish our goals and were very invested in achieving what we desired. That’s all, anyone could ask of a crew, even on a tough day… thankfully this was a very productive day. Muchisimas gracias to captain and crew for an awesome day!
