    Highly Recommend Black Snapper 2

    3/4 Day Trip – Offshore3 adults

    My wife, son, and I went offshore for the first time yesterday on the Black Snapper 2, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. We caught Mahi Mahi that we’re bringing home to grill and had a blast catching multiple Sailfish throughout the trip. For a first offshore trip, it couldn’t have gone better. Captain Julian and first mate Angel were outstanding. They worked hard the entire trip to make sure we were comfortable, having fun, and always in the action. From helping with lines to making sure we had everything we needed, they were professional, friendly, and clearly know what they’re doing. The boat was well stocked with plenty of food, snacks, and beverages, which made the day even more enjoyable. The booking process was also very smooth. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which made planning simple. Getting our fishing license the day of the trip was quick and easy as well. Parking at the marina was free, easy, and secure, so we didn’t have to think twice about leaving the car there. My only regret is that we only had time for one trip this visit. Next time we’re back, we’ll definitely be booking another trip with them. Highly recommend Black Snapper 2 if you’re looking for a great offshore fishing experience.

    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    Beautiful day on the water

    Half Day Trip – Inshore2 adults

    My wife and I wanted to do a day of near shore fishing targeting snapper/jacks/rooster or whatever. we soent a good hour and a half looking for live bait with no luck before switching to trolling up and down the beach and in front of a river mouth for anither hour or so with no luck. Not wanting to get skunked, we shifted gears and went a little deeper to troll for billfish/mahi. they did finally get us on a sailfish that put on a good show. We were a little disappointed in the lack of action early in but that is fishing sometimes. Captain Eric and his mate Snacker made the day a fun one anyway with good food and cold drinks. they even stayed out about an hour extra trying everything they could to get more fish in the boat. I wouldn't shy away from booking with these guys again.

    Well Worth It!!

    3/4 Day Offshore Trip9 adults1 child

    Eric and the crew were amazing. They worked very hard to get us on the fish and were successful. We caught a nice sail, mahi, 2 wahoo, some nice red snapper and a grouper. The boat was great. I wiuld recommend this as when we were getting hot we were able to go into the cabin (AC) and cool down. Had a group of 9 and we were very comfortable and everyone caught fish. Great experience and would do it again. Thanks guys.

    Catch of the day!

    3/4 Day Trip – Offshore5 adults

    Eric and Nekar were an exceptional Captain and First Mate. They were knowledgeable, friendly and accomodating. Our first booking got cancelled and they scheduled our trip in less than 24hours. Our family of 5 adults all caught several fish. Mahi mahi, Sailfish, and my husband was even able to reel in a big Snapper! It was the catch of the day and was delicious for our dinner.

    Reported catch:
    Sailfish

    UPGRADE

    Half Day Trip – Inshore5 adults

    While we booked the Black Snapper 2 for our trip we were notified that it was being repaired. Too our surprise we were upgraded to a 43 ft Viking at NO EXTRA COST!!! Not necessary but appreciated. This company will take care of you. We caught 2 yellow fin tuna, bonita and almost a Dorado. It shook the hook right at the boat. Oh, well still a great trip.

Sailfish Dominate the Day!

Dec 30, 2025 • Quepos
They're big and beautiful fish and great fun to reel in, but not a fish that you can eat in Costa Rica. But it's a lot of action, for sure.
