the trip was awsome everything was what we expected we landed 1 sail and hooked 2 others seen 10 more they were definitely not active thats fishing the captain and 1st mate went above and beyond there dutys to put fish in the boat and were both very informative and talkitive would definitely return if we have the opportunity

Our trip with Andres and Arixa was wonderful! My husband and I both caught our first sailfish and a variety of other fish. Andres and Arixa went out of their way to make us feel at home on the boat and I’ve already recommended them to a friend traveling to the area soon. If you’re a couple or small group in the Los Suenos/Jaco area, this is a must book!

The Mad Marlin is a smaller older boat great for two or maybe 3 people. If you need comfort you may be disappointed but if you want to catch fish and avoid premium prices Andres and his first mate Alexis will find the fish. I recommend a full day as traveling to the fish takes a while. But when we got there we caught fish right away. Mahi grouper and sailfish seem to be the common fair with outside chance at the coveted marlin. Andres and Alexis both speak pretty good English and are very personable.... More

captain was incredibly lazy - not sure if it had yo di with his obesity.  didnt bother to mention the tides and when the best time to go out (after 130 pm).  we booked in the am.  He was too lazy to use live bait - he said it was too much work.  the mate hustled the whole time and was excellent.  definitely check with the capt before you go out sbout tides.  i know this area is famous for fishing.  we caught two unremarkable fish.
