This is my 7th fishing trip with my family.  The first 6 were done in the US both inshore and offshore.  I have to say this is the best one we have done.  Jose greeted us at the entrance and guided us to the boat.  Our captain Tito and first mate Esteban were so great.  Very personable and hard working.  The drinks and snacks were an added bonus for the kids.  The Bimini on the boat keeps you in the shade.  Didn’t catch the sailfish I was hoping for vu these guys tried had.  We did catch a ton of Mahi.  I wish the crews in the States were as happy and personable as these guys.  I would book them again in a second so don’t hesitate.  We did the 5 hour offshore trip.

Captain Jose and First Mate Esteban absolutely made our trip phenomenal - they’re a top notch fishing team and even better as people. We had a slower start to the morning, but these guys worked tirelessly to track down the bite, and it paid off big with some Mahi Mahi and Yellowfin Tuna.

Their knowledge and positive energy turned what could’ve been a tough day into a memorable one. On top of that, they cleaned our tuna right there on the boat and whipped up some of the best sashimi my wife and I have ever had, fresh off the line.

If you’re looking for a charter out of Quepos, do yourself a favor and book with Hidalgo Sport Fishing. Jose and Esteban are the best of the best, and we can’t wait to fish with them again!

Captain Jose and mate Greiban are the real deal. My wife and I booked Hidalgo Sportfishing specifically to chase sailfish, and they delivered in a big way — we landed 4! These two are as friendly, knowledgeable, and professional as it gets. You can tell immediately that they know these waters inside and out.
Don’t let the boat’s appearance fool you compared to some of the flashier charters in the area — it has everything you need and then some. But honestly, the boat is secondary. The captain and mate are the difference-maker, and I believe they could out-fish anyone operating in the area.
My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If we’re ever back in the area, we’re not even bothering to look at other charters. Hidalgo Sportfishing is our first and only call. Highly recommend without hesitation.

captain and first mate were top notch. Ive taken guided trips in Florida, Texas, Alaska, California, and Boston — and i put him at the top. why? hes relaxed, flexible, hard working, good with kids, and wants to put you on fish. he allowed me to bring my own tackle, and i appreciated his flexibility in tailoring the trip exactly as i requested. we had 4 kids along, and we caught so many fish they got tired of reeling them in. The best part of the day for me personally was taking a 118” sailfish with a travel rod and a 3500 reel. it was a spectacular day we will never forget. i cannot thank Captain enough. he is truly special at what he does and truly cares about your experience on the water.
