Unbelievable Trip!

Full Day Fishing Trip3 adults

First trip to Costa Rica and the experience was amazing. Booked a full day trip through Fishing Booker and the process was painless. We chose Costa Tamarindo after reading great reviews. My daughter, son and I met the team on the beach and headed out to the boat. Boat was stocked with snacks and drinks, clean and ready to go. Captain and first mate were awesome and put us on fish early. We loaded the boat with quality Yellow Fin, some Bonita, and a Rainbow Runner. Headed offshore to target Sail Fish and Marlin and they delivered. After a 2.5 hour fight, landed our ultimate target a +300 lbs Blue Marlin!

    Fun and enjoyable fishing trip.

    Half Day (AM) Fishing Trip • 2 adults

    Tried trolling for Mahi Mahi but unfortunately no bites & was told today no boats caught anything. Switched to bottom fishing & caught 15 Red Snapers & 2 Groupers which are great eating. Was told that other boats didn't catch anything, even bottom fishing. I brought my own fishing gear & had years of experience bottom fishing at 180 to 200 ft water, wondered if that made the difference or was it pure luck 😬??

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you, Gavin! We’re glad we could still put you on some great fish despite the slow mahi bite. Whether it was your experience, a little luck, or both, we’re happy you had a successful day. Enjoy the fresh catch, and we hope to fish with you again!

    Great trip in Tamarindo

    3/4 Day Fishing Trip • 4 adults

    Boat was great for 4 people. plenty of room to fish and get out of ghe sun. Our captain asked us what we wanted to catch and he put us and we caught 3 of the 6 fish we asked to cstch. We caught tuna, grouper and snapper. Wind was moderate and this boat handled it fine for those in my familytgat get seasick. Location was super convenient and we were fishing 15 minutes after we headed out. id recommend this charter.

    From snapper to a 500 lb black marlin, our ultimate inshore and offshore fishing adventure

    Full Day Fishing Trip • 4 adults

    This fishing trip was the perfect blend of inshore action and offshore adrenaline, giving us an unforgettable day on the water. We started inshore where the bite was strong and steady, landing a beautiful yellow snapper and a hard-fighting mackerel that kept the energy high right from the start. Then we pushed offshore and the experience shifted into something truly next level, first with a brilliant mahi mahi flashing colors at the boat, and then with the fish of a lifetime, a massive 500 lb black marlin that tested every bit of our strength and teamwork. Great conditions, great guiding, and an incredible mix of species made this trip an absolute five-star experience.

    Wonderful half day trip

    Half Day (AM) Fishing Trip • 2 adults

    Captain and first mate were great! They got us onto tuna right out of the gate. Brought us a bottle of champagne because I had mentioned it was our honeymoon. They had snacks and beer as well.( typically) went bottom fishing and then onto swordfish. They went a bit longer because we got so close to catching a swordfish several times and were very eager to get us one. But that’s fishing… :)) also loved the boat, lots of shade. would go with them again in n a heartbeat. We are eating the tuna as I type this!!

    Response from Charter operator

    Hi Marshall! Thank you so much for the amazing review — it truly means a lot to us! We loved having you both on board and are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your honeymoon fishing trip. What a fun day! We appreciate your kind words about our crew and boat, and we’d be more than happy to welcome you back anytime. Wishing you both an incredible start to married life — may it be filled with calm seas and tight lines! 🎣🥂

    6 Yellow Fin!

    3/4 Day Fishing Trip • 2 adults

    We had a great time on our 3/4 trip, it was well worth it and we caught fish when there were other boats around us catching nothing. We even watched a sailfish strike happen, so close to a hook up! I’d like to address some of the other reviews that I think are misplaced. We had Captain Novel and I only speak English. I was able to communicate with him just fine so the review about communication is hard to believe. I’ve fished all over the world and found this trip to be professional and focused on the angler.
