The crew was amazing. Very helpful. Fast to help fast with refreshments and above all a successful catch.
Boat was very clean and staff provided snacks and drinks. This trip is extremely hot and the boat trolls fast so if you get sea sick this trip is not for you. The restroom was the main reason we booked this boat however the crew is a bit strange about using it. Some rods did not fit in the fighting chair and were left handed making it very difficult to land the fish. The trip started off pretty slow with no bites for 4 hours. We saw tons of dolphins and landed a huge Mahi Mahi followed by 2 tuna. Over all it was a good trip with Luis being the only English speaking crew. The captian and hand did speak at all and appeared to be uninterested in getting to know us.

We couldn’t be happier with the trip and Captain Charlie. Had a smooth ride on the Grady White and Charlie released some beautiful sails. We saw a ton of dolphins who came to play by the boat. Being off tourst we got a great deal on the PM trip. Plenty of drinks and the sweetest pineaple I’ve ever had. Perfect, perfect afternoon. Thanks Capaint Charlie!
Hello! We really appreciate the review. Glad that the fish cooperated and that the trip was a success. Hope to see you again in the future.
Highly recommended experience if you enjoy fishing. We are a family of four adults that are not very experienced. Online reservations for a morning half day on the Pargo Negro were easy. Communication with John was excellent given we made the reservation the night before. Captain Charlie and his skilled boat hand are very capable and professional. Boat was well equipped and prepared for day. Caught 2 good size yellowfin tuna and one small dorado plus a handful of skipjacks which we released. Snapped the 200 lb. line on a strike while reeling in from bottom fishing. Saw a lemon shark breach and suspect we hooked another one. Went further out and trolled for sailfish before heading back, but no strikes. We took home two large bags of filets and ate tuna steaks and poke bowls for a couple of dinners. We made ceviche out of the mani mani. Muy delicioso!

Mike, Glad to read your report, sounds like there was some good action! Hope that we got the entire family hooked into fishing. Looking forward to work with you again in the future John
Beautiful Grady White… Charlie and Jose worked super hard to find us some fish. Both were experienced friendly and fun. I would definitely recommend them. We released a beautiful sailfish and brought home some dinner. I loved fishing in Tamarindo and look forward to returning one day. Pura vida
Thanks guys, you are welcome to fish with Charlie any time!
