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.

My friend and I booked this trip, both in our 20s, great choice picking Sea Breeze. We got the half day pm trip, caught rooster fish which were very hard to come by for the day, caught some jacks, and a nice big mahi that they fillet on the boat. They gave us a great recommendation on what restaurant to bring it to(Walter’s). Overall crew was great, friendly, spoke English, joked around with us and gave us pointers on where to go snorkeling for the next day. 10/10 expierence for the amount of time we were on the water, crew knew what they were doing and where to go.

We booked a half day tour and started a bit early in the recommendation of Darcy because of winds later in the day.  Good call! Great 1/2 day of fishing landing about 7 fish. Had sushi on board and they cut up the keepers to take back and we had them cooked at a local restaurant. Cant say enough good things about Darcy and Noah - thanks guys!

I can’t say enough about Captain Noah and Julian. We had a group of 3.  They were both extremely friendly and incredibly patient with my very inquisitive 13 year old son but most importantly they put us on fish. They both spoke fluent English which helped so much as well.  We booked the full day so we could experience as much as possible. We caught tuna, skip jack, rainbow runners, horse eyed jack and 2 massive Cubera Snappers.  Can’t wait to return.  Pura Vida!

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.
