Amazing fishing

3/4 Day Trip7 adults2 children

We fished with 4 adults and 3 kids (ages 13,13,10). We caught a marlin, sailfish, and plenty of grouper and scorpion fish on our 3/4 day trip! December is not the best fishing month in CR so our expectations werent super high yet we were blown away. Waves were only 1-1.5 ft. Our boat was plenty spacious and tbe bathroom was bigger than we expected and very clean. It wasnt the newest or fastest boat on the water but we brought in more fish than any of the fancier boats and that is what was most important to us! The crew was knowledgeable and spoke great English. Food was fresh and drinks were plentiful.

    Great fishing and Family friendly

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    We fished on Friday 8/2/2024 with Captain Arturo and Orandeo and Jose. The captain was fantastic, he met our family on the hot when we arrived and asked what we were looking to catch and what type of fishing we wanted. We had our family of four on the boat “Talking Fish” and since my children have only fished a few times, we decided to fish on the reef for Tuna and Skip Jack. 20 minutes to the reef and within 45 hours we had multiple yellow tail (20 pounds) in the boat. The crew switched to drop fishing for Cobia and Red snapper. We love three times after hooking a black tip reef shark and bull shark. More trolling for medium / small sized yellowfin hooking up 5 rods for the four of us at the same time. After that we went farther offshore for billfish. Truly one of the best days on the water I have ever had for a half day and genuinely, the loose attentive and accommodating crew I have ever had the privilege to charter with. I cannot recommend Arturo and his crew enough.

    Amazing

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults

    This trip was amazing, starting with the boat. It was able to take on whatever was coming at us. The crew was amazing. The captain gave us a very welcoming greeting even though we couldn’t speak due to his time spent on the tower. The mates were very very nice. They are willing to talk and have us some good stories. On top of the the gear used was in good shape and was ready for what we wanted to catch. Although we wanted billfish we were able to snag some Mahi Mahi. The mates filleted the fish right in front of us and made a platter which was phenomenal eating. As well what they supply was plenty enough to fill the 4 of us with plenty left over. Overall i recommend this charter to all people and i would do this again anytime i get the chance.
