Juan Mora Sportfishing

Garza, Costa Rica

10+ reviews

As a lifelong resident of Playa Garza, the ocean has always been at the heart of my life, with fishing as my enduring passion. Growing up by the sea, I dreamed of owning my boat and sharing the thrill of fishing with others. At the age of 12, I began working as a first mate under the guidance of a seasoned Cuban-American captain, who instilled in me a deep understanding and respect for the sport. This experience inspired me to pursue my dream of owning my boats and turning my passion into a profession. For me, fishing is more than just a job—it's a way of life I am thrilled to share with my clients.

Awesome trip
3/4 Day Trip on June 11, 2026 • 4 adults
Aweome trip caught some Yellowfin Tuna, a Sailfish, Mahi Mahi. The only thing I want to share with future bookies is that they do have water, food, even beer on the boat for your trip. I didnt see it listed anywhere so I bought stuff for no reason. Maybe this will save someone a trip to the store. Fishing trip was a 10 out 10 it was great the whole Family caught fish and the crew was super helpful. They Filet the fish on the spot and you can take all of it with you or just what you want for cooking. I left alot so it wouldnt go to waste and grilled what i took home that day, It was so good.

From the moment my wife and i got there this crew hustled! Catching bait getting on the targeted fish early and putting meat in the box. We even had time to play around with some roosterfish near the end of the charter. Very knowlegable about their waters. Thanks Juan for such a memorable trip.

Never had to tell them no more fish we are done. Holy cow 6 of us all caught really nice yellow tail tuna. We had so much fish we had to give a bunch away. Also booked a full day and we were back in 6 hours completely worn out and had such a good trip

good fishing out if Garza Costa rica
3/4 Day Trip on March 23, 2026 • 4 adults
myself, my wife and two teenage daughters.. we met Juan on Garza beach and awaited a water taxi to take us out to his boat on bouy. the crew was polite and professional. the vessel is 31’ bertram. in decet shape. bare bones with a bathroom on board. sandwhices, fruit, beers, water, plenty of refreshments. we fished for sailfish and landed one, then a couple of bites from others….and a bite from a mahi mahi but didn’t land it, due to the experience of the angler not the crew. we finished the trip with some snorkling to Pink Island. i would charter Juan and his crew again.
