  so many fish

  Half Day Trip – Family on August 21, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  we had an incredible experience - caught five huge fish (i have never fished before, so i may have been easy to please). we went way out, among true local fisherman, which was cool to see lots of approaches to fishing. then the crew got wind of a whale in the area, so we tracked this incredible whale pair, seeing sevetal sea turtles along the way. and then they offered to let us swim “at the island” and we couldn”t turn that down. pura vida day!

  We left shore at 7:30 AM; after an hour of travel in somewhat choppy surf, we arrived at the reef for bottom fishing. Several other boats were already on the reef but our Captain chose not to join the crowd. Selecting other more less-pressured areas of the reef, we quickly landed a huge snapper. After 3 hours we had eight whoppers! The guys were attentive to our needs and did a great job. Highly recommend these folks!

  Hi George, thank you so much for the review! We're thrilled the Captain's strategy paid off with those eight big snappers. It was a pleasure having you on board with Gladiator Sportfishing Samara, and we hope to see you back on the water soon! 🎣
