  IGFA Offshore Grand Slam ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇨🇷

  Full Day -Offshore or Inshore on October 4, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had an incredible experience aboard the Amberjack with Carlos, Dennis, and Jose! They were top-notch hosts, providing snacks, lunch, cold drinks, and keeping the boat clean and the lines stocked. They shared so much knowledge about the land, sea, and fish, making the entire day fun and relaxing. We caught a great variety of fish and even saw a sea turtle and a shark! Amber, the owner, was wonderful before and after the trip, making sure everything was perfect. The best surprise came afterward when we learned that, based on the variety of fish we caught, we now qualify to be recognized by IGFA for an Offshore Grand Slam! 🎣 An unforgettable day aboard the Amberjack, with amazing memories, photos, and a truly incredible crew. We highly recommend them! 🌊🐢🦈

  sailfish dream come true

  Full Day Trip-Offshore or Inshore on August 26, 2026 • 5 adults

  It’s been a long time personal dream to try to catch sailfish and we decided to make a family trip to Costa Rica and booked a couple days fishing while we were there. conditions were tough due to El Niño, super dry, hot and windy , but the captain Julio and first mate Brandon worked really hard to catch fish. Ended up catching four sailfish in all, my son also caught a tuna, and we caught a few other fish such as grouper and snapper. The crew really did a great job and pretty much did everything that we asked for. I’ve been on many different charters and this was by far the most full service one I have been on! Definitely recommend, excellent overall.

  John, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled that Captain Julio and Brandon were able to help make your longtime dream of catching a sailfish come true—and four sailfish makes it even better! Despite the challenging conditions, they worked hard to give your family a great day on the water. Adding your son’s tuna plus some grouper and snapper sounds like a fantastic couple of days of fishing. We especially appreciate your comments about our full-service experience, as taking great care of our guests is incredibly important to us. Thank you for choosing Amberjack Sportfishing and for recommending us. We hope to fish with you and your family again in Costa Rica!. Until we meet again - tight lines and pura vida.

  Epic Costa Rican Offshore Trip

  3/4 Day- Offshore or Inshore on August 5, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  My two boys and I had an epic ¾ day offshore charter with Amberjack. Captain Carlos and First Mate Denis worked hard as a team to deliver a great experience. I told them I wanted to target Sailfish and Mahi and they delivered! We landed our first of three sailfish in less than 30 minutes after they deployed the trolling gear. Then it was on to mahi and we hooked one up quickly. Then we switched gear and hauled in 15 plus grouper plus a couple of tilefish. The crew also took good care of us with plenty of drinks, snacks and some tasty shredded beef burritos. My older son was feeling under the weather from food poisoning the day before and the crew did their best to keep him comfortable as well. The boat was well equipped with quality gear, a large sunshade, clean toilet and comfortable cabin. In summary, we had a great time and would heartily recommend this outfitter to others.

  One if a kind experience!

  Full Day -Offshore or Inshore on May 27, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

  My family of 6 decided to fish with the Amberjack for our trip to Costa Rica based on all of the solid reviews. Capt Carlos and First Mate Dennis were amazing! the boat was extremely comfortable and the gear was top of the line Penn and Shimanos! Capt Carlos and First Mate Dennis worked hard for us all day and ran far to get us to the fish! We landed 3 beautiful sailfish, had several more bites and finished the day catching groupers and tile fish to eat. 3 drops and we had all the fish we wanted to eat! First mate Dennis made us lunch on the boat as well as fresh fruit, chips and salsa for snacks! they had plenty of cold drinks for us including water, a variety of fruit juices, a variety of soft drinks, and of course cold beer! Wonderful fishing with theses guys! will definitely fish with them again next time we come down here! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  Great Trip, Crew, Boat

  Full Day -Offshore or Inshore on June 14, 2026 • 4 adults

  Had a great full day off shore trip. Caught Sailfish, Mahi, Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and several others. Captain and crew were very friendly, helpful, and flexible with what we were hoping to do. Boat was very nice with good shade, good indoor cover if rain, good toilet,…. Lunch, snacks, and drinks way better than you would ever expect on a fishing charter (very nice). All spoke english and easy to communicate with. Amber is great to deal with when booking. Repeat customers with this boat, and will repeat again.
