Dear Kyle Thank you for your 5 star review. We are pleased that you and Dillan enjoyed your day on the Rainbow Runner and were able to bring home yellow fin tuna and stripped mackerel for your family. Iโm sure everyone enjoyed it!ย Hope to have you onboard again with Captain Gerald in the not too distant future.
Captain was very very knowledgeable of the waters. We fished in shore because the wind was blowing. Boat handled the waves very well. Top plugged a rooster on an open face early morning while slow trolling. Gear was not up to par at all. I think the reel was a Shake Spear. Stinks had a bait runner in my room. Lost him near the boat after 10th runs due to a bad hook set. Got some good red snapper, skip jacks and top plugged a Spanish mackerel, very cool. Day dragged on captain casted and trolled for hours. Finally he called it. But wait! on the way back spoke with another boat CB. Proceeded to set some more lines. Yep we hooked up. Large amber jack! This was about 45min beyond his full day requirements. Captain thanks for the hard work! A deck hand would have been helpful, itโs a lot of work on the captain alone and he appeared tired Iโm sure from weeks of fishing. Def upgrade up on the open face gear. Never know when youโll hook a giant.
Over all very good experience. Thanks again Captain and good work buddy! Brian

We have done a dozen fishing trips and captain gerald is by far the best. Slow day to start with a el Dorado but later on caught some grouper,jack jack and a giant red snapper. This captain does everything he can to find you a fish. We will definitely come back and use this company. Outstanding service.
Thank you Jordan! Glad you had a great day. Gerald works hard to put his clients on fish and we do what we can to provide reliable and cordial customer service! Looking forward to having you back!
The only day that we had available was immediately following a full moon. We were warned by the captain that the Rooster fish were very unpredictable, but my son was determined to catch a Rooster on our Costa Rica trip. The fishing conditions were very tough, but Captain Getald absolutely worked feverishly. By the end of the day, not only had we caught a trophy Rooster fish, but we also had enough Spanish Mackerel for dinner. Excellent trip!!!
Thank you Jason for your kind words. Captain Gerald definitely works feverishly to please our clients and we are glad that the roosterfish cooperated. Your son did a great job and looks quite proud. Hope you also enjoyed your dinner. Hope to see you again on any future trips to the Tamarindo area.
Tough day on the water, high seas. We raised one sail in the spread and caught 4 grouper. Made the best of what we had. Overall a good day. Captain Gerald worked hard all day for us.
Dear Heath, Thank you for your great review. It was unusually choppy out there for the time of year but pleased that you managed to hook some grouper for dinner. We hope to see you back sometime in the future when the sea is calmer. If you have any photos we would love to see them. Kind regards Louise Capullo Sportfishing
