Hands down THE best experience you’ll ever get!
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 30, 2026 • 2 adults
I’ve never had this much fun in my entire life. I have very limited experience deep sea fishing and was expecting to catch nothing but nonetheless both my friend and I caught two mahi-mahi and a sailfish, each. The crew on the boat made us feel very safe and instructed us on how to properly do everything in a safe manner. They even had snacks and drinks for us. Everyone was super nice, super supportive, and they’re right there with you the whole time. Seriously worth the money, I wish we had booked the full day tour. If I ever find myself back in Costa Rica (hopefully again someday) I will 110% be booking another deep fishing excursion with this group!

Great Time
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 14, 2026 • 3 adults
We had an outstanding experience on our fishing charter today with Captain Javier and Crew Kevin. These guys worked nonstop from the moment we left the dock. You could tell they were completely focused on putting us on fish, and they delivered. Captain Javier clearly knows the water and how to find the bite, and Kevin hustled the entire trip making sure lines were set, fish were landed, and everything ran smoothly. Professional, hardworking, and dialed in. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, don’t hesitate. Highly recommend

Excellent trip!!
Full Day Trip – Fishing Adventure on June 2, 2026 • 4 adults
This was our best fishing trip yet. We caught bonita, several mahi, and a 5’ shark for the grand finale! Christian and Marlin were an excellent crew and incredibly friendly. They provided beverages, fresh cut fruit, and sandwiches. We booked an all day trip and were able to try several different areas and ways of fishing.

Amazing trip!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on March 18, 2026 • 2 adults
My wife and I booked a trip while kn our honeymoon hoping to catch some Mahi. We started off by catching two Mahi and then hit a lull, but finished the day with a frenzy and had more Mahi than we knew what to do with. The captain and first mate were super friendly and helpful and made our trip wonderful. Would highly recommend!!
