The trip was a 2/3 day trip offshore. Jeff and Jose were great, they both knew their stuff and helped me to understand what it is they do before, during and after the trips. Jeff explained to me what it is he looks for whilst up top searching for the fish or potential areas they could be. His experience as a fisherman shone through and so to with Jose who used to spend months at sea as his previous job. You couldn’t really ask for more fishing knowledge on the boat. You are in good hands. We managed 5 fish over the day, with two blue marlin, and two sailfish brought to the boat. The one that got away was a 300-400 lb black marlin which stayed on the line long enough for me to feel the absolute power and for it to jump clear of the water at about 80-90 m from the boat before she spat the hook. The biggest fish caught but not pictured was a the largest blue marlin of the day. She decided the sailfish bait was hers though, and being on a 60 lb leader meant a back breaking hour of careful fight before we had her alongside, but she still had too much energy left and we simply couldn’t keep her there to grab. She bust the line but I was happy we got her in. All fish were revived and swam off successfully.
Knowing that despite your best prep, bait and conditions can still produce blanks from time to time I was prepared for this outcome, but as Jeff said ‘I was one lucky mother…........!’ to get the experience I did for my first ever session at this type of fishing. I think my luck was choosing this boat, with Jeff experience and Jose’s hard work down the bottom. He didn’t stop moving around getting things in place. When I return to Quepos, CR, I will returning to see if we cant bump into The One that Got Away!

Thank you Jeff and Jose. Top draw experience for sure.

Thank you Jeff and Jose!  You made some amazing memories for our family.  We booked 2 days and loved it.  Even though we each caught our first ever sailfish on day one💪, we can’t stop talking about the pineapple!

Boat is clean and comfortable and gear is in great condition hallmarked by landing a nearly 200lb Marlin on a 12w.  Both guys never stopped fishing, I know how to fish so I know when a capt is just dragging things behind a boat… capt Jeff wants to catch fish every day all day.

If I ever make it back to CR, its a no brainer who I am booking next time.

We had an excellent time. If you are like me and on this website unsure of what to look for, this is the real deal. We wanted to land some big fish and that’s exactly what we got! The owner captain/captain is a good guy and a native English speaker. His mate is very helpful and good at his role. The boat is comfortable and well outfitted with equipment. There is a bathroom! We got several sailfish and a mahi mahi and we are very pleased with the experience. We would definitely recommend this outfit to other people looking for the fishing trip of a lifetime!

Jeff and Jose were very professional and extremely knowledgeable. I’ve been on many charters and I can confidently say these guys are the best! The homemade lunch and the bottomless drinks were awesome. We landed 5 sailfish and a few tuna. Once in a lifetime trip and truly a Bucket list experience! If you’re considering fishing in Quepos do it with these guys, you won’t be disappointed.

Words can’t express what an amazing trip we had with Captain Jeff and Jose (Flaco). This trip had been on my personal bucket list for nearly 20 years and we couldn’t have asked for a better Captain and deckhand. I would have been happy with one sailfish but we were fortunate enough to catch four! This was truly the memory of a lifetime and I will choose Bucket List Sportfishing every time when visiting Quepos. Beautiful boat, great service, best equipment and from start to finish everything was simply perfect. Pura Vida!!
