    Our Original Charter Canceled… This One Blew It Away

    Troling • 2 adults

    After our original trip was canceled by another charter, we booked with these guys, and I’m glad we did. They really know the waters and made us feel safe from the moment we left the dock. The waves were pretty intimidating due to the windy conditions and storms from the day before, but the captain handled everything with ease and confidence. Even in less-than-ideal conditions, they put us on the fish fast. Within the first 60–90 minutes of fishing, it was nonstop action—fish after fish, double hookups after double hookups. The crew worked hard, stayed positive, and made sure everyone was having a great time. Most importantly, they helped make my birthday trip an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional crew that can put you on fish and keep you safe, I highly recommend booking with them. We’ll definitely be back!

    Great fishing trip

    Bottom fish or trolling pm • 6 adults • 2 children

    We had an excellent time fishing. There was my husband and myself, our son and his wife, and their two children 8 & 4. Our 8 year-old grandson has talked about fishing for at least two years so our main goal was for him to catch a fish. He first caught a very small blackfin tuna followed by a medium tuna (still small) and then he caught a mackerel, big enough to take to the restaurant across the street and cook up for him. It would have been nice to catch more fish, but - Mission accomplished. Our grandson caught some fish. Deago was really wonderful. Our 4 year-old granddaughter was sick and he doused towels with cold water to put on her. I would recommend this company.

    Absolute Perfect Day!

    Fullday offshore trips • 6 adults

    What a perfect day on the water. Captain Carlos put us right on the fish and deck mate Diego was a machine. We caught Dorado and Tuna all day. We enjoyed some fresh sushi on the boat and just when we thought the day was done we hooked into a nice Sailfish. It put up a great fight and ultimately won but what a day!

    Hard-working crew !

    10 to 3 pm • 2 adults

    One of my teenage sons and I fished with The Brothers Alex for a day in early June. It was a bit of a slower day on the water, but the Captain and his Mate worked their tails off and put us on some fish. My son caught his first sailfish in Costa Rica, plus we had a few Mahi and small Yellowfin Tuna. Overall another great fishing in CR! Highly recommend fishing with this crew!

    Half day inshore tríps am • 5 adults

    Overall good experience, a group of 5 of us went out and booked a half day inshore trip as some of the group members did not like the idea of being that far offshore, when we arrived we were told we were going to be going offshore, we just figured that it was due to the slow season for inshore fishing and went with it. Besides that after roughly a hour boat ride out we started trolling! The crew was amazing, we saw some dolphins and got onto 1 large sailfish! The crew provided a cooler full of soft drinks, water and beer as well as a fresh pineapple! I understand time of year, and it’s called fishing not catching, would have been nice to get onto more fish but we understand that’s how it works, I would recommend this trip.

    Diego and El Capitan were incredibly knowledgeable and really knew their equipment. Thanks to their expertise, I landed an impressive 98-inch sailfish. I couldn’t be more stoked with the crew and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing fishing experience.
