Papi Chulo had to get work done on his boat so moved us to another charter boat. Captain and crew were great but only took cash, that was a small speed bump to learn on the day of the trip with 5 people planning to use plastic. The fishing was not good but not because of boat or crew, just a bad day. I sent several emails to Papi Chulo but never got a response. 3stars overall.

The crew was spectacular! They were very nice and professional! They brought us to a beautiful spot and within the first 5 minutes we caught 2 yellow fin tuna! At the end of the day we hooked a Marlin and even though our time was over they stayed out for 2 extra hours to let us fight it! I would definitely recommend this boat/crew to anyone looking for a fun and exciting day on the water!

Great boat, food and drinks. But only caught a few fish!

I’ve charted numerous boats in Costa Rica. I’ve had the most success on Papi Chulo. The captain is very knowledgeable of the local waters. I caught a 350 lb Marlin, many large Mahi’s, Tuna and sailfish. I’ve been out with them several times now and will continue. It’s a great deal and the captain and crew enjoy a good time.
