  Deadliest Catch Ladies Edition!!!!!!

  Half Day Trip (AM) on July 4, 2026 • 4 adults

  We had the absolute BEST DAY EVER catching yellowfin tuna, rainbow runner, dory, black tuna for bait, and trigger fish! Kener was the best captain, we didn’t have much experience and he was very knowledgeable and kind and taught us everything we needed to know to catch a boat load of fish. Kener brought us loads of snacks, beer, and the fixings to prepare two rounds of fresh tuna tartare ON THE BOAT!!!!!! Best meal ever. He also showed us where to have our fish prepared right on the beach with a fire show after. Could not have imagined a better first fishing trip (and to think we only did the half day)! Highly recommend going with Kener, we will definitely come back for round two.

  Incredible experience in Tamarindo

  Half Day Trip (AM) on December 22, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

  Booked with Naomi L through fishing Booker. The transaction went smoothly. There was great communication by Captain Elmer. The next day we were set to leave at 7 AM. The conditions were incredible. Lots of fish activity in the area. We caught a few tunas, saw some action with cabrillas, smaller groupers, and the cherry on the cake was an amazing 100 pounder sailfish. What a thrill of a lifetime. The crew in the boat were very friendly, spoke English fluently. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. Very professional. I would do this again and highly recommend it.

  We caught fish within 5 minutes

  Half Day Trip (AM) on March 16, 2026 • 2 adults

  this was oir second trip with Tamarindo Fishing. Kenal and Pablo worked well together as a good team. We wanted to catch fish to eat so Kenal suggested starting with bottom fishing for snapper and grouper. We had fish in the boat within 5 minutes of reaching the first spot. We moved to three other spots and caught fish at each. Once we had enough for multiple meals we switched to trolling for big sport fish. While we didnt catch anything trolling but we saw dolphins and sea turtles. The beer and water was cold. The pineapple was sweet. It was a trip we would repeat.

  Capt. Elmer will put you on the fish!!

  Half Day Trip (AM) on June 14, 2026 • 3 adults

  4 hours of nonstop, catching fish. Between 3 people, we easily caught 25+ fish. 5/5 STARS BEST Tamarindo fishing charter experience thus far. Will absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone. Capt Elmer is the man. My friends and I had a blast with him and his deckhand
