Met up with Captain Jeff at the marina to start our day bright and early. His boat is nice, clean, and organized. His honesty up front that it has been tough fishing the week or so was appreciated. We told him we were here to turn his luck around!  He was willing to do whatever it took to get us on fish, even if that ment going 40 miles out, which he did. First mate Jose was hustling too, dropping lines, switching lures, swapping fresh bait. His abilty to coach you reeling in fish was top notch. The lunch offered to us was homemade deliciousness! And of course we broke Captain Jeff’s dry spell, we had multiple hook ups and ended up landing four sailfish!

I’ve spent decades chasing billfish and tuna on blue water all over the world, and I can say without hesitation that nobody works harder to put you on fish than Captain Jeff and deckhand Jose with Bucket List Sport Fishing in Quepos. These guys are relentless (honestly, they should just rename the boat “Relentless” because that’s exactly what they are). From the moment lines are in the water until the sun drops, they never stop fine-tuning spreads, reading the ocean, and grinding for every single bite. Their knowledge of the local bite, seamanship, and pure hustle is off the charts. If you want a captain and mate who are 100% dedicated to making your day epic, book these two – you will not find a harder-working, more fish-obsessed team on the dock.

Jeff and Jose are absolutely outstanding. They went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. They were fully prepared based on the notes I sent about wanting to keep some of the fish and the specific species I hoped to catch. I was a bit anxious about how I’d store and travel home with the fish, but Jeff had everything handled before I even asked. All I had to do was swing by and pick up the perfectly frozen and professionally packed fish on my way to the airport.

Exceptional service from start to finish—highly recommended.

The boat and equipment was very well maintained.  The captain and deckhand worked non stop to provide the best opportunities they could for me to catch a fish.  I fished two days back to back in the middle of December.  The first day I caught 5 sailfish and 2 mahi.  The second day I caught 5 sailfish and 1 mahi.

Last spring my son, his best friend and I filled our cooler and ate tuna for almost a week before we brought the rest home. That fishing trip was the most amazing thing ever!!!!!
Decided that we had to go out with Jeff and Jose again this year and again, they didn’t disappoint!
I didn’t think that catching a 350lb 120-130inch long marlin was on my bucket list until it had been caught and released. That bad boy was absolutely amazing and challenging to caught! Life time memories made again and it’s totally because Jeff and Jose are the best!!!!!
Great food, great vibes and unforgettable experiences made two years in a row. We will be back again as soon as we can and there isn’t another boat or team that we would consider going out with. I just hope they have room for us next year in their schedule!!!!!
