  Best Trip Ever

  Full Day Fishing Trip on December 15, 2025 • 3 adults

  One of the Greatest fishing trips of my life. Owner Gary was in constant contact from start to finish. He is extremely professional a pleasure to do business with. He Sent us out with Captain Erickson, a man who was very knowledgeable about fishing, the ocean as well as the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. I'm not gonna lie, we went out in rough conditions, 5 to 7 ft swells, winds blowing from the north and South, thought we had no chance of catching fish. Captain Ericsons commit and Dedication did let it happen. Under his leadership we raised two sailfish and land 3 massive Papagayos Aka Dorado. the service and attention to detail by the first mate was also superior. He maintained a clean deck. prepared fresh sashimi an attended to our needs. Over all "BEST TRIP EVER"

  Great experience!

  3/4 Day Fishing Trip on February 27, 2025 • 5 adults

  Gary stayed in touch from the beginning of planning the trip which alleviated any concerns about the trip. Everything was as promised. Boat, equipment, food, and length of trip were right on. Everyone in our group caught a fish. Will definitely book him if/when we return to Costa Rica.

  Just my son and me. I'll remember this trip for a long time. He had the time of his life fighting a Marlin. Thanks to Gary and his crew.
