Captain Kevin and his first mate were great. We caught like 25lbs of tuna take away so we ate great and the barracuda was awesome. We are more used to fishing than troll fishing but still a lot of fun. The snack was fresh fruit which we enjoyed. Definitely would fish with them again. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Definitely read fishing reports, reviews of the captain and charter. Connect the Captain ahead of time to ssk all your questions to set the correct expectations. Everyone might be looking for something specific so you need to find a captain that meets your needs.

Do your research for the right captain. I would stay away from the larger boats with all the glamour. Stay with a small boat like Capt. Luis Sandi.

From speaking to the guides, marlin, mahi, and other deepwater fishing had slowed down a bit in the week prior tonour arrival. Recommend checking if your guide has live bait prior to arrival.

Know that marlin and sailfish are catch & release only. No marina in Tamarindo, If you want to take fish back, make sure that is arranged before trip. We could not find a small soft side cooler to put our frozen grouper, red snapper and tile fish fillets in for transport back to Houston. Still a awesome trip with perfect weather and seas.
