Bobby McGuinness

Golfito, Costa Rica
2 reviews
'My father Bobby Sr. came to Costa Rica from the US in the mid-1960s. He established the first charter operation in Golfito. I began fishing with him as a teenager, and I became a full captain when I was 18.' Captain Bobby McGuniness has some serious bragging rights under his belt. He was chosen twice as the world's top captain by the prestigious International Game Fish Association, and has set well over 200 IGFA-approved world records. On top of this, his Marlin releases are legendary: on September 14, 2010 he released 28 Blue Marlin, along with 3 Striped Marlin and 4 Sailfish on his 37' Cazador. Come aboard his charter and experience some top-quality angling with a world-class captain!

    Bobby McGinnis

    Full Day Trip - Inshore or Offshore • 3 adults

    We booked this boat and Bobby McGinnis purposely because we fished with Bobby before. Our previous experiences were very good as Bobby is an excellent fisherman. Very disappointed this time because Bobby did not show up to captain the trip. He sent his boat and crew. We caught two nice sail fish, however, on past trips we caught many more with Bobby as the the captain. Very disappointed that he did not show up, and we did not get the trip we paid for.

NINE BLUE MARLIN BITES, THREE RELEASED

Sep 17, 2015 • Golfito
Americana Sportfishing client Ron Dupre, fishing with Bobby McGuinness on the 37ft Cazador, enjoyed great Blue Marlin action. About 13-14 miles outside Golfo Dulce, they encountered a school of Marlin just after 11 AM. Before the day was done, they had raised about 15, hooked nine, and released three in an exciting full day of satisfying fishing.

Almost sweet sixteen

Jul 4, 2015 • Golfito
Americana sportfishing clients Sonya Penley and her family came down to Golfito from Playa Nicuesa Lodge to spend July 4 on the Cazador with Captain Bobby McGuinness, and released a Sailfish. Then they caught 14 Grouper, enough for a great Independence Day dinner, and then more.

Lots of fish, few bites

Feb 21, 2015 • Golfito
Peter Narbonne and his buddy were on a overnighter with Captain Bobby McGuinness (photo) on the 37ft Cazador on February 21 and 22. Water was warm, so although they saw lots of fish, the fish weren't biting. Day 1 yielded a Striped Marlin and two Sailfish releases; Day 2: 7-8 Sailfish and a Yellowfin Tuna.
