I booked a full day offshore fishing trip. I had a great time with the crew. They worked extremely hard to get hooked up with fish. I did have one Rooster fish hooked but it tore the line eventually. We had other smaller fish. It was a great day overall. The one negative was being charged for an offshore trip after the crew was told we needed to stay inshore. I hesitate to book with this company again.
Yes Mr. Neal, I understand the inconvenience and I am so sorry about it, but I remind you that this boat is not sold for deep sea fishing, but rather for deep sea fishing with options to go a few miles outside if time permits, without neglecting the safety of our clients. Regards Jose
Could not recommend these guys enough if you are planning on a fishing trip in Papagayo! For the full 6 hours Geremy and Alberto worked tirelessly to put us on to the fish. A bucket list trip and it didn’t disappoint. Wasn’t long before we hooked onto a bunch of bonito. Then hit 3 Mahi Mahi with the third being a monster! We fished hard right to the end and even managed to get a barracuda. The boat was well equipped, both captain and first mate incredibly knowledgable and the whole process from booking to pickup to drop off seamless. If (or when) we return to Costa Rica I will 100% be using this fishing charter again! Thank you for a memorable day ??

This was an excellent fishing trip, my first in Costa Rica and Pacific waters. Eddy the captain and Israel the deck hand were great. They worked hard to put us on fish. We didn’t get the Yellow Fin Tuna or Snapper we wanted, but we got 8 Mahi Mahi and took a lot of fish back to the resort for many to enjoy. We caught Rooster, Bonita and Jacks also for a fun day on the water. The crew provided plenty to eat and drink. They filleted the Mahi and bagged it for us.
One thing that was not explained ahead of time, the contact person is not always who will be on the boat. I communicated with Jose, but it seems he was the boss, but not who worked the boat. Also, Jose tried to make me pay for the accidental breakage of a fishing pole when the very large Rooster fish slipped out the crews hands while trying to bring it on board. Crew tried to explain it was not my fault, as I did to him on the phone, but not to his satisfaction.

Everything went very smooth. The captain started with asking of my expectations and target fish. Very professionel captain and crew. After sailing to the fishing grounds, it did not take long for the frist yellowfin tuna to get on deck. Short after we hooked a big rooster, 140 cm and around 30 kg! Several more yellowfin with the largest around 10 kg. I lost a very big fish and a nice mahi mahi as well. All goes to tell that they could find fish and knew what they very doing! Definately recommendable!
