First, I hate to discredit the local fishermen in CR and want to say our captain, Juan, was very nice. However, 1.  The booking profile portrayed the captain as someone other than Juan. 2. The person I was communicating with prior to the trip gave no indication rooster fish were not going to be an option, and in fact he informed me different tactics would need to be used specifically for roosters. He also informed me sailfish were not targeted on half day trips. Had that person informed me rooster fish were not possible for our trip, I wouldn’t have booked because we already had an inshore mahi/tuna trip booked that week (a bait and switch on a tourist to ensure the booking?) 3. When I informed Juan upon boarding his boat we were seeking rooster fish, he told me rooster fish were not available and offered tuna. I explained to him we had already caught a bunch of tuna earlier in the week and we wanted to catch something different, he offered a 15 mile trip out to target sailfish. I didn’t really have any other option at that point so we spent over $700 for a 4 hour boat ride. We did see a couple dolphin. We had a couple sailfish follow our bait but no hook up’s. Juan was very nice but the trip was a waste of money and time. This was a birthday present for my son who was hoping for a fishing trip of a lifetime. He was crushed that we caught nothing.

Booked 3 full day charters last week (Wednesday, Thursday, & Saturday).  All 3 days were amazing.  Capt. Alex put us on the fish every day and never stopped hunting all day long.  The crew on deck (David and Luis) treated us like family.  They never stopped working and always made sure we were trying new methods if things got a little slow.  Over the 3 days we ended up with 5 Yellowfin Tuna, 2 Mahi Mahi, 2 Sailfish, and 2 Blue Marlin.  We also had several other billfish and wahoo strikes that never hooked up - can’t win em all!  Not only was the fishing great, but the captain/crew/boat made this one of the most enjoyable and fun fishing experiences of our lives. 

We look forward to a return visit to fish with Alex/David/Luis!

Alex and Luis did a great job on our 6 hour trip.  We left Tamarindo at 7:30 am and motored south west until 8:20 am. We had our first fish on before 8:30 and it was a beauty…a 300-350 lb marlin that put a great fight and show for 50 minutes until we got it to the boat and tagged and released it. Luis and Alex did an amazing helping make that happen!  In the next hour we got a 2 beautiful Mahi’s, a 20 lb and a 30 lb that led to some great dinners during out stay here !  The bite went quiet after than but Luis kept trying different baits and Alex kept us moving looking for fish.  It was a great day and we would definitely book with Alex and Luis again !
