Best guided fishing trip we have ever been on!

Full Day Trip2 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.

Response from Captain

Thank God we had a great time and made plenty of catches; we look forward to seeing you again soon.

    Doradogedon

    Full Day Trip2 adults

    My brother and I had an awesome day out with Juan and his hand, Byron. We did an 8-hour trip and Juan got us on a school of Mahi Mahi within an hour. It was exciting action in the morning and mid afternoon. The bite died down mid day, but Juan kept working to try and find the fish during that period. We ended the day in some more exciting dorado action. we were fortunate and saw a lot of different wildlife throughout the day: Manta rays, dolfins, turtles and more. They also prepared some amazing fresh sashimi/poke with one our fish that was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend booking with Juan.

    Tagestour offshore auf groß Fisch

    Full Day Trip1 adult

    Der Empfang an Board war direkt sehr herzlich und wir haben besprochen weiter rauszufahren. Professionell wurden die Ruten vorbereitet, es wurde mir alles super erklärt und im Zielgebiet angekommen konnten wir sofort anfangen mit angeln. Der erste Mahi Mahi hat sich nicht lange bitten lassen. einige Versuche später gab es dann noch eine kapitalen Mahi Mahi. Gegen Mittag wurden wir dann noch mit einem kapitalen Sailfish belohnt. alles in allem ein super Tag und die Erwartungen wurden erfüllt.

    Fishing trip PM

    Half Day Trip (PM)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)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.
