We chose the full day trip and we made the right decision!  Started off with jigging off some reefs for skip jacks, red snapper, and a small grouper.  Proceeded to troll and pick up a sail fish, Mahi mahi, and more skip jacks.  We saw sea turtles, a pod of dolphins swimming along with the boat and still had time to wrap up back at the reefs and catch numerous more fish including a yellowfin tuna and even hooked a second sailfish while jigging.  Noah and Julian are impeccable hosts, cleaned the fish and made us the famous yellow fin sashimi on the boat.  Plenty of snacks, drinks, and good lunch.  Good shade on the boat.  A perfect day!

Captain Noah and Darcy were amazing. Really kind and treated us so well. They catered to whatever type of fishing we wanted to do. They put us on plenty of fish we caught so many!! You can tell they have experience on these waters and adjusted accordingly. We caught fish jigging and it was a blast all day! Yellowtail tuna, black tuna, rainbow runners and more! The best part was they genuinely cared about us wanting to catch fish and most importantly having a good time while doing it. I’ve been a hardcore fisherman all my life so I know when people are in to genuinely helping you catch fish or not and making the customers happy. Anyone who’s been fishing a decent amount knows that there will be up and down days but Noah and Darcy will give their all for you. Highly recommend them!

Noah and Darcy of Sea Breeze Fishing & Adventures gave me and my two boys an absolutely incredible day on the ocean—one that stood out as the highlight of our entire Costa Rica trip! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience.

The fishing itself was outstanding—we hooked a few Sailfish and caught plenty of other fish, many of which they filleted for us on the way back to shore.  Several times, we had multiple fish on the lines at once.  At one point, they brought us to fish in a spot where we were surrounded by a pod of several hundred dolphins, which was breathtaking. We also saw a massive Manta Ray just a few feet away at another spot!

What really stood out was how hard Noah and Darcy worked to ensure we had a full, memorable day. They weren’t just skilled captains and guides—they were also great company, sharing tips on other must-do activities in Costa Rica that we’d enjoy.

We couldn’t be more grateful for such a perfect day—thank you Noah and Darcy!

Noah and Julian were very knowledgeable and experienced fishermen. They constantly scanned the horizon for signs of fish, bait, and birds. Plenty of drinks on board and a snack that came following a good catch of a yellowfin. Trolled, jigged, and dropped down bait. The front of the boat is covered so you do not absolutely bake in the sun. My wife, Dad, and Mom all approved of the half day trip out. They also had a good recommendation to take your fish for a restaurant to cook for you at the end of a successful fishing day. Would highly recommend and will likely book a full day trip next time in Costa Rica.

I recently had the pleasure and good fortune to fish for three days with Noah and Darcy. When you charter a trip the only thing that is guaranteed is a boat ride and the best chance to catch fish is to be willing to fish the bite. I was met at the beach on time every morning and there never seemed to be a rush to return to shore. When you transfer from the ferry boat to the fishing boat the first impression you will have is one of pride in their craft. The boat is clean well organized and in good repair.
On they way out to fish the reef we were lucky enough to see the whales and Noah paused the boat so that I could enjoy me first sighting. Darcy’s joy and excitement of pointing out the ocean life was contagious. Seeing the dolphins, sea turtles and manta rays just added to the experience. One of my favorite was the schools of flying fish.
We first caught fish over the reef. When fishing the reef Sea Breeze doesn’t use broom stick poles with wench reels. Seven foot pools with slightly larger reels then used back home insures that what ever you caught will be a fight. You never know what you are going to catch. Yellow Fin Tuna are fast and Jack Crevalle are heavy weight sluggers.
Darcy making sushi from just caught Tuna was a surprise and a highlight of the trip.
We then started the troll for the big fish. The big fish are mostly solitary hunters. So it may take a while.
Noah is like a man with his head on a swivel. Your best chance is to fish the current. Noah pointed it out to me several times in the changing of the waves but I would soon lose it again. After a while you realized that Noah with the help of the temperature gauge was constantly changing course and keeping us in the zone. With staying in the current , scanning for fish on the surface and watching the bait.  He was a very busy man.
Darcy was constantly making sure that the boat was in order and that i was well feed ( homemade by the lady down the street)  and flowing with engaging conversation ,answering questions and pointing out that a wave splash was more then just a splash. And though I only fish one day with Julia’n. He was able, friendly and will have you standing there with your moth hanging open if he decides to go into the water.
When we did hookup with a large fish, I remember that there was no hooping and hollering. It was quite and respectful of the undertaking. I was aware of Noah maneuvering to boat to keep me in the fight and Darcy taking pictures. But it was just you and the fish making a life time of memory.
Noah and Darcy are the must professional, dedicated people working to give you the best chance to make memories that I have ever fished with. They are simply grand people.
Though there are other places in the world and other charters to be had. I will always hope and consider when planning future trips. Is this one. The time, to return to Tamarindo and fish with Sea Breeze.
