I have been fishing my entire life which is the better part of 50 years. I am a striper guide back home in Texas and I know the stress a captain can feel. We were after Marlin, Sailfish and Mahi. Unfortunately, we missed a Marlin but were successful on the Sailfish and Mahi. The young captain of this boat was very talented to say the least. While using a teaser (that which makes noise in front of the bait) a sailfish came up on the teaser instead of the following bait. Our captain... More

Great day on the water!

VERIFIED

My Wife and I had a great time on the water, the fishing was slow but it’s called fishing and not catching for a reason! Captain Juan and Mate Nesmer were awesome! Nesmer and I chatted all day like we were old friends, they made us feel very comfortable and asking often if we needed anything like snacks, drinks, food, etc. I caught a beautiful Sailfish, we had several Wahoo bites and I also caught a Skipjack. It is one of the smaller offshore boats but 2 of us were very comfortable and it had... More

Thank you so much for this amazing and thoughtful review! 😊

Captain Juan and Mate Nesmer will be especially happy to hear your kind words. Making guests feel comfortable, relaxed, and taken care of is exactly what we aim for, and it’s great to hear the conversation and service made the day even more memorable.

We’re also glad you appreciated the comfort of the boat even on a smaller offshore boat, having space, a restroom, and good vibes makes all the difference.

Thank you again for choosing us, and we truly hope to fish with you both again in the future!

Outstanding day on the water! Juan and Kendall know their business. We caught a variety of palegic fish. i dont normally leave reviews, but this crew deserves a shout out. within 20 mins of leaving the marina, we were at the fishing grounds and had fish on the line. Cannot wait to roll with these guys again!

Captain Juan and mate José were experienced and eager to help make the best 1/2 fishing plan. Their English was good enough and we were lucky to have a big marlin on after 15-20 minutes of trolling 3-4 miles out. Fought it for 2 1/2 hours and brought it up to the boat and surface to release per Costal Rica regs. The boat would not have been big enough even if we could have kept it. 4 in our party.

Thank you for fishing with us! 🎣 Landing and releasing a marlin after a 2.5-hour fight is something most anglers only dream about! We’re glad Captain Juan and mate José could help create such a memorable day offshore. Finishing the trip with grouper and snapper for dinner made it even better. Hope to see your group back in Tamarindo for another adventure soon!

The captain and mate were very professional and accommodating. We caught two 80lb sailfish within the first hour! In addition to that we caught two yellow fin tunas to feed the family. The caption and crew also were willing to allow is to jig . We Hooked up to a large shark and a something else that gave us great fight . The boat was clean and well maintained. The captain and crew were professional and I would highly recommend this charter. Thanks , John

Thank you so much, John! What an epic day, two 80lb sailfish in the first hour, yellowfin tuna for the family, and even a big shark hookup? That’s the kind of action we live for! We’re so glad you enjoyed the trip, and we truly appreciate your kind words about the boat and crew. Captain and mate had a blast with you onboard and would be happy to welcome you back anytime. Tight lines until next time! 🎣🙌
