  First Exposure to Costa Rica Fishing

  3/4 Day Trip on January 30, 2026 • 5 adults

  My group of 9 arrived in Playa Flamingo excited and ready to fish. Thanks to the detailed coordination and great customer service from Debbie of “I Wish I Were Fishing Chaters” we were greeted to a warm welcome and quickly guided to our boats and awaiting captains and crews. After a short ride to the fishing grounds on well equipped vessels our skilled teams on each boat turned our excitement into a day to remember. We caught Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Sail Fish not counting multiple missed strikes. The added treat… delicious fresh fruit & snacks, cold beverages, great music, and an all day Spinner Dolphin show that was worthy of National Geographic. A safe ride back to the marina with fresh fish fillets in the bag and huge smiles on our faces, completed the day. I recommend giving them a call if you desire a great day of fishing in Costa Rica. I plan to again when I return with that same excitement because they delivered! Thanks Debbie to you and your staff for making our trip one to remember. Look forward to connecting next time i’m in Costa Rica! Stanley A. Bowie, Maryland

  Amazing 2 days!

  Full day on November 26, 2025 • 2 adults

  We did a day offshore and a day inshore and everything was perfect - the boat was fantastic with great equipment, the crew were professional, friendly and couldn’t do enough to both help and make our experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible and we caught great Mahi Mahi, Roosterfish and Jack Crevalle. We loved every minute with the crew and on the boat and Debbie made everything smooth and seamless. We will definitely rebook next time we are in Costa Rica and would really recommend.

  Caught fish I can’t catch at home!!

  3/4 Day Trip on September 25, 2026 • 3 adults

  Though we only had two major hook ups….one was a nice Yellowfin Tuna and the other was a giant Rooster fish!!!! Can’t do the latter in Florida! The Crew…Joshua, Rafeal and Spanky were excellent. They worked hard and stay focused so we only had to enjoy the fun part of fishing. I would reccomend this charter for anyone.

  Great crew and great time

  Full day on May 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  Fished with my 10 yr old and 17 yr old. The captain and crew were fantastic. We requested tuna and sailfish and they put us on both, which were miles apart. The crew was very accommodating and lunch was the best sandwich in the world, lol! Thanks for a great day

  Fish of a lifetime!

  3/4 Day Trip on December 8, 2025 • 2 adults

  This trip was absolutely amazing. Captain and crew were extremely professional. We went Marlin fishing all day long. We had two hook ups in the morning and then the bite slowed down but just as we were getting close to the end of the trip we hooked into a good one and stuck one! The crew never gave up and they kept working the entire time and gave us some amazing pineapple. Would definitely recommend!
