  Great Boat, Expert and Friendly Crew

  Full Day Trip on April 16, 2026 • 6 adults

  Captain Michael and crew left no stones unturned. We caught Sailfish in the most pure light tackle way. They are expert and do all the hard work. They also served cold fresh fruit and a tasty hot lunch. Be advised that Fishing Booker left it to me to pay 80 percent of the price at the boat. Credit cards get upcharged 13 percent in Costa Rica, and it is difficult to get that much cash less than 4 days here. Id really like Fishing Booker to collect the whole payment up front so all I have to do is walk on the boat and fish rather than running around banking in a foriegn country. Tight Lines.

  These guys are pros

  Full Day Trip on December 22, 2025 • 4 adults

  I cannot say enough good things about Capitan Miguel, Jorge and Flaco! These guys are real pros. We started by doing some bottom fishing, probably caught 15 fish. My 14 year-old had a broken hand and could not real with his right hand. So, the capitan recommended bottom fishing so my son could real with his left and catch some fish. We caught plenty, including a shark, and then we went after some bill fish. We ended up catching two sail fish as well. They knew exactly how to bring these fish in. It was a great day. Flaco is a dawg out there, catches everything and does everything. Friendly crew that wants to make you happy.

  Friend, thank you again for spending the day with us. You were excellent people and very kind. It was a pleasure for the three of us to fish with you. You are a lovely family, and your son Oso is an excellent fisherman. Even with his broken arm, he was able to catch fish. Excellent, very brave and strong. And about the shark of that species, it's the first one I've seen in my 22 years of fishing. Have a wonderful day with your excellent family. Thank

  Great trip for first timers!

  Full Day Trip on April 10, 2026 • 5 adults

  Captain Michael got us on the fish fast! We caught two sailfish and a bunch of mahi. The two mates, Esteban and Josue, worked nonstop to keep the lines baited. All three members of the crew went above and beyond to make sure we had an awesome time. This trip would be best for beginners and intermediate anglers. We wore long sleeve shirts, lots of sunscreen, and hats but it was great able to go inside to get out of the sun.
