    Great time on the water!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 3 adults

    Freddy and Daniel took great care to ensure we had fun, caught fish and were comfortable. They were very knowledgeable about the area, and answered all of our question. Our half day trip was great! When 2 in our group got a touch of sea sickness they were quick to shift direction from off shore fishing to fishing in the protected waters of a bay, and took us to an exquisite beach for a refeshing swim! Highly recommend!! Pura vida!

    Reported catch:
    Pacific Red Snapper

    great charter

    Full Day Trip – Offshore • 5 adults

    we did 3 of the full 8 hour days. the crews only goal was to find the fish and give the best experience, they took into account what you wanted to catch and brought you to the right spots. They would even suggest what to target based on what was biting. The only thing they couldnt do was make the fish bite, the second day they brought us to tge fish we wanted to target, we saw them in the water, some even followed tge lure in yet the fish decided they werent hungry. Overall we caught alot of fish and it was a great experience.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Sailfish
    Yellowfin Tuna
    Black Grouper

    Saved a slow day

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore or Offshore • 4 adults • 1 child

    It was clear from the start that it was going to be a slow day for big fish. We could hear several other boats scrambling on the radio for any advice on where they were biting that morning. The captain helped turn our day into a success by trying multiple locations, and finally giving our boys an opportunity to catch multiple fish near a reef, rather than leave empty handed. We were able to land one good sized Jack to have prepared at the Beach House restaurant that night. Thanks for the hard work guys!

    Lupo Was Fantastic! Nailed the fish!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) • 4 adults

    What a fantastic time my family of 4 caught 9 black tail tuna, 2 stingrays and 1 whale sighting. Walked off the boat with 30+ lbs. of meat all bagged and ready to go. Almost had to tell them to turn the boat around since we were so tired of reeling them in. Glad we didn't catch # 10. Great soda's, bear, snacks. What a great crew! Very good price and happy to tip 20%. Our 2nd trip to Costa Rica and the best adventure we have had to date.

    the boat was to small for the offshore fishing. we started out fishing for grouper and we caught a couple along with a black tuna . the captain got a call from a friend that was fishing offshore saying dolphin are out there. he said thats a food sign that they will have yellow fins tuna and aome big fish. we made the trip out dolphin were everywhere hundreds of the but we didn’t gwt one bite aftrer trolling around for a couple of hours we had to head back . in that small boat we took a beating and got soaked going back. I would recommend staying closer with this small boat .
