2 Great days

Nov 9, 2025 Herradura

An unforgettable two-day trip with the Whalen family—father and son. Day one delivered a blue marlin and three mahi-mahi. Day two kept the bucket list rolling: another blue marlin, then a flurry of roosterfish to wrap it up. Pura vida!

Another Great Day

Feb 15, 2025 Herradura

Five Yellowfin , 1 Blue Marlin and 2 Sails

Three days battling Giants

Feb 12, 2025 Herradura

Three days of battling giants! Landed yellowfin tuna and sailfish, each tipping the scales over 100 pounds. The ocean’s bounty is truly unparalleled.

Crossing off Bucket List.

Jan 5, 2025 Herradura

We are in the business of creating memories that last a lifetime. Epic catches and crossing off bucket list dreams—are what it’s all about.

This crew are fishermen. Wow! Beautiful boat, great crew, and then the fish. We didn’t get our sailfish this trip but we got an incredible Tuna double header that pulled in 200+lbs of hard fighting excitement. With Captain Andy’s skills we landed 2 dream fish. If you’re thinking of fishing around Jaco be sure to check this crew out. We did a couple others this trip and these guys were far and above anyone else we dealt with. Pura Vida and thank you captain.

Andy and his crew were an incredible team that got us on 3 monster Roosters, exactly what we wanted to catch within 2 hours of the trip!! We had our 2 kids with us, 6 and 10 years old and they were having fun with them letting them reel some of the smaller Jacks into the boat. They communicated beyond expectations and delivered exactly what we wanted for our half inshore day!! Beyond Happy would definitely recommend this beautiful boat and the amazing team to everyone!!

La tripulación fue de primera: siempre atentos, cambiando de carnada cuando una no funcionaba y buscando nuevas estrategias. El bote no se detuvo ni un segundo; si un punto no daba resultado, enseguida probábamos en otro. Al final, tuvimos alrededor de 15 piques y logramos sacar más de 100 kg de atún.

Thanks so much for the 5-star review! We’re really happy you enjoyed everything from start to finish. The only thing we were missing was that marlin that snapped the line and got away — but we’ll call it unfinished business and a mission for your next trip. Hope to have you back soon so we can get you that marlin! Capt. Pedro & Team Luminare
