  Fishing trip PM

  Half Day Trip (PM) on March 10, 2026 • 3 adults

  Nous voulions essayer la pêche au Costa Rica et notre expérience fut inoubliable! Nous étions à la recherche d’une espèce de poisson du nom de poisson-coq ou roosterfish, cependant les conditions n’étaient pas au rendez-vous pour ce poisson emblématique du Costa Rica. Pas grave ! Les thons jaunes étaient de sortie !! Munis d’une canne spinning et d’un leurre, nous étions à la traque des bancs de thons qui chassaient tout autour de nous, c’était spectaculaire ! Résultat : 5 jolies prises et de beaux souvenirs. Merci au capitaine et à son équipe qui ont été très agréable et qui on tout mis en oeuvre pour que cette sortie ce deroule au mieux pour nous.🔥🇨🇷

  What a blast!

  Half Day Trip (AM) on January 31, 2026 • 1 adult

  This was my second time out with the captain. Him and his man on the boat were great, sharing fishing knowledge and just generally having a good time. The first time we went out was for Rooster fish and it was slow but we saw some dolphins and went and caught some Red Snapper to take home. The wind was up today but this time out we caught some snapper in the morning and then tried for something better landing a decent Jack Crevalle trolling, then back to the "honey hole" to get some more snapper before heading in. Carlos is a great guy, will be going out with him again when I visit.

  Fantastic bottom Fishing

  Half Day Trip (AM) on February 19, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  My son (10 yo) and I wanted to do our first saltwater trip while we were here. Captain Mendez took us out on a fantastic Grouper hunt! He had bait ready to go and breakfast/drinks in the cooler for us to start the day. Fishing started off solid with my son hooking into a Spanish Mackrel giving a good fight for a little lad. We then moved onto other spots for bottom fishing, by the end of the trip we were knee deep in fish. Mendez and his deck hand are calm and coordinated, but he's definitely up for some shenanigans! Muchas Gracias to both of you guys! Definitely recommend you!

  Great Trip!

  Full Day Trip on June 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We had a really good time fishing off the coast of Playa Hermosa with Capitan Juan Carlos and his skipper Byron. They both worked really hard to get us on some fish. Although it was a really slow day, we ended up hooking into sweet sailfish, which made it all worth it. Captain Juan Carlos has great prices as well compared to other charters and we appreciated his great and fun personality, as well as the snacks that he was able to provide.

  Sometimes you don't need to book a luxury boat or have the best gear, because even with luck, you might not catch anything. Sometimes, those of us with fewer resources are the ones who really strive to get the best results—but thanks anyway.

  Best guided fishing trip we have ever been on!

  Full Day Trip on June 16, 2026 • 2 adults

  Caught 6 mahi, 2 tuna and a 92 inch sailfish which we will be getting a replica mount of. Captain Juan and his first mate were experienced anglers and worked hard to put us on fish. They also provided us with snacks including pineapple, local breads and sashimi made from some of the fish that we caught….delicious. Picked us up from the beach of our hotel and brought us back there at the end of the day. Would highly recommend Captain Juan to anyone considering a fishing trip in Costa Rica.
