Captain Gerald is a great guy he was a one man show driving boat and setting lines we tried inshore for roosters and to get some live bait. it was very windy and choppy so we were not successful on that note. the wind changed about 10:30 so Gerald suggested going out further to try foe some mahi. we had two wahoo hit but first bit through a 200 lb leader and the second stole the bait. near the end we did hook a nice mahi and played it a while before it got off. Would have been nice to have had a wire leader for that wahoo as that would have been a great fight and another species for the bucket list i would book this boat again if in Tamarindo but just for two fishermen do to boat size.

Hi Dean, thank you for taking the time to write a detailed review for us. The windy season can affect the fishing. Captain Gerald is an experienced fisherman in the area so he knows how to read the winds and when itโs good to go offshore or stay inshore. Pity you lost the wahoo & mahi but there is always a next time!ย Hope to see you back soon. Best regards Louise Capullo Sportfishing
We went for a half day trip with captain Gerald. He was great. Spoke great English, very knowledgeable and fun to talk to and learn from. It was my wife and Iโs honeymoon and first time really ocean fishing. It was a slow day of fishing, didnโt get much trolling but the captain made sure we caught something and we ended up with 2 nice grouper. We then went back to shore and sat at a local bar with the owners (both great people) and the bar cooked the fish for us as we had some drinks and chatted. Overall great experience. Highly recommend

Dear Stephen Thank you for your great review. We appreciate you taking the time to pass on your comments. Glad you caught the grouper and enjoyed eating it. We enjoyed your company. Kind regards Louise Capullo Sportfishing
Had a great time on my solo excursion with Captain Gerald. Put me on multiple sailfish throughout the course of the day. Great experience with dolphins, sea turtles, and great fishing. Highly recommend.
Hi Mac we are pleased that you had a great day with Captain Gerald & caught & released a lot of sailfish. There are a lot of them around at the moment. We are blessed to see an abundance of dolphins most days as well as turtles & whales on a regular basis. Thank you for review & hope to see you again. Best regards Louise Capullo Sportfishing
GG is by far the most experienced Captain my husband or I have had the privilege of fishing with. In addition to catching 3 Mahi Mahi we also got to see a whale, countless dolphins, and even a sea turtle. GG is a one man show that doesnโt need a crew because he literally can do it all by himself. The lunch & snacks & beverages provided by Louise were exceptional. If my husband and I make it back to Costa Rica we will definitely go fishing with again GG.
From start to finish the entire trip was fantastic. Roy picked us up from the hotel and took us to our boat. We caught mahi mahi which was then filleted on the boat and then went on to cook at the local restaurant (tasted delicious!). We also had dolphins jumping around the boat in the water and spotted other wildlife such as turtles and manta ray! The boat was fully stocked with beers, water, soft drinks and snacks throughout the day.
My boyfriend and I are go an an annual fishing trip for his birthday and this was by far the best!
All in all an amazing trip. Loved it so much we went twice!

Hi Jo and Nick,
Great to have you guys on both our boats Rainbow Runner and Capullo.ย Always better when we are catching fish on both boats as well. Although I think the second trip involving the cigars and rum was a little more hazy ๐คฃ Looking forward to seeing you guys again back on Capullo Sportsfishing in Tamarindo. Enjoy the rest of your stay and see you again soon hopefully. Tight lines. Roy.
