Jessie and Alberto were amazing. Jessie picked us up and drove us to his dad Alberto in the marina who took us fishing for a full day. Alberto was patient and tried many different depths and lures. We changed spots several times and did very well. We landed two yellow fin, a dorado, two rooster fish and a needlefish. It was a quiet, peaceful day on the water AND we caught so many fish. These guys were very reasonably priced, very helpful, and very knowledgeable. We would totally recommend them to anyone who wants a mellow day of fishing in Quepos.

A low key, center console, simple outboard motor boat, operated by a knowledgeable, very experienced captain made for a great time seeing the beautiful Pacific coast local waters and good fishing. Of course Captain made sure we released the impressive Rooster Fish. The Jack Crevall became dinner.

We (son and I) had a great morning fishing. Bonito, Amberjack and Spanish Mackerel.
Small boat, two rods, good action.
Crew was on time, very helpful. Fished few spots for different kind of fish.
Jessie offers a good deal if you are into raw fishing experience. Get sunscreen and hat.

Where should I start?  We met at an ill-defined meeting place, and the “captain” didn’t appear.  We found a local who knew him, and called him for us.  I was handed the phone.  The “captain” said he couldn’t contact us the day before, and assumed the day was off.  Well, I came from Ecuador, and naturally was incommunicado - my cell-phone wasn’t set up for Costa Rica.  The “captain’s” phone number was nowhere on my paperwork, nor was the phone number of anybody else.  He said we could go that afternoon, or the next day.  I wanted to go at the appointed hour, since all our time was booked, and he said he would be there in half an hour.  Promptly an hour and a quarter later, we got in the boat.  There were issues.  They had three fishing poles for four fishermen.  THEY DIDN’T HAVE ANY BAIT!  Didn’t they know fishing works better with bait?  We went to buy bait from some guy floating in the bay, but he had none.  So for an hour and a half - no exaggeration - we watched the “captain” try to catch some little fish for bait in a dirty little backwater.  He finally caught one.  We then went fishing.  With plugs.  We trolled around for the rest of our morning, with absolutely no bites.  I, the person without a pole, was to fish after one of the others caught a fish, so I never touched a pole.  And that bait fish?  It was still in the live well when we left.  Some extras were that there was no protection from the sun, and my vertebral column is about an inch shorter after being smashed into a big wave before we learned we had to support ourselves with our butts off the boat seat at speed.  We sat in the front, the driver was standing in the back, where the smashing didn’t occur.  In time, my back should heal.  You could say the whole day sucked.  There is nothing positive to say about it.  You do yourselves a disfavor by listing him.
