    Fantastic experience

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    This was our first saltwater fishing experience and we were very pleased. It was clear that Capt. Tito and his mate were working diligently to get us into a variety of fish, both inshore and off shore. They offered kind guidance to us beginners, and ensured our success. We caught several species, bucket list fish and couldn't have asked for more.

    Reported catch:
    Roosterfish
    Yellowfin Tuna
    Sailfish

    Rooster Rooster !!

    Half day of fishing • 2 adults

    While it took awhile to start fishing due to rough seas, Captain Tito & deckhand Oscar got us on two nice sized Rooster fish (35-40lb & 25-30lb), along with catching a large Spanish Mackeral. Crew and boat made for a very fun trip.

    It was a good day

    Best day ever!

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    Captain Tito exceeded all expectations. Not just fishing but catching! 4 sail fish, 1 mahi and 3 bonita landed. Also, several hook ups. Couldn't have asked for a better day. If you are comfortable with a center console boat I highly recommend Marlin Mania. Price was good too compared to Costa Rica standards. Good luck!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Sailfish
