Went to Costa Rica in search of a Rooster Fish and was able to make that happen with American Charters.ย Good boat, good equipment, and better crew.ย The only downside to the entire trip was my wife and Son got to feeling bad early and we had to go in, but this is no fault to the boat, crew or captain.ย I would recommend this trip to anyone that wants a rooster fish.ย I had a great time and if I ever get a chance to go back to Costa Rica I will go back with American charters!
The captain speaks fluent english. This is very rare in Costa Rica. The crew often consisted of two and sometimes even 3 mates all very knowledgeable and very nice .They canโt do enough for you. Empanada , wraps ,chips and dips , watermelon and pineapple sliced without you having to ask . If you look like you need a drink itโs provided.
We told the captain we wanted to catch Mahi and then bottom fish for tile fish and grouper . Final tally for our 7 am to 2 pm trip was 4 Mahi , 2 tile fish, 4 grouper , 2 Rosieโs , and a skipjack -bonito which is a very rare cross between a skipjack tuna and a bonito . All and all just a great day Very minor engine issue was fixed by the mechanically adept captain and crew while we were still catching fish . No time wasted . My only regret in giving this captain and crew my highest recommendation is that it may increase his popularity making him less available to us . But then it wouldnโt be fair to be selfish. So the truth is donโt even think of booking elsewhere . This is the best captain crew and boat in Costa Rica and you will not be dissapointed .

Our captain Jeremy and first mate Walter did everything possible for us to catch fish. We trolled multiple areas, changed lures and bites constantly. We were able to land one big sailfish, lost another and missed on a big yellowfin tuna.ย The owner Ron was great as well. He responded back quickly and even met us on the beach after our trip to talk things over and see how it went.
I highly recommend American Charters for anyone that wants a real fishing experience! The crew was phenomenal and definitely made you feel welcomed. I would not have asked for anything better. I donโt think it could have gotten any better than that! Great Crew, Super clean boat, just a beautiful experience is all I have to say.
My son wanted to hook a Marlin before heading off to college. We did just that and brought it to the boat, it was a fish of a lifetime nearly 10 feet long! Now my son can say he caught a Blue Marlin and my better half can say she caught her Tuna!!
