Our family of 4 went Sport fishing with “Costa Tamarindo sport fishing adventures” and we had an absolute blast. My boys ages 7 & 15 had an experience of a lifetime. My 15 year old son’s wish was to catch a Marlin. We had planned this trip to Costa Rica just for that ! And did they deliver!! We not only caught many Blue Marlin, we caught a Black Marlin and some Sail fish. We also saw lots of Tuna and Dolphins!
The crew was incredible with assisting us, and the food and drink they brought on board was delicious !!! Booking was easy and we felt safe.
We can’t thank them enough for a once in a lifetime experience and for granting my son’s wish.

Ronnie and his crew were so thoughtful throughout the booking and planning process. They contacted us to ensure we were prepared and wanted to tailor the experience specifically to our likes! We can thank them enough for such a special day!

Capt Novel was great along with the mate. Started off the morning inshore in search of a rooster fish and we were able to cross that species off the list within the first hour and a half. Had a miss hit within the first 5min but fish missed the bait and bailed. Then started heading offshore trolling the entire time from inshore. Was slow for a while but then it happened. Hooked up onto about a 40lb wahoo, got him in the boat. Continued to head out till we found some birds, dolphins and fish. Trolled the bait pods and hooked into a yellowfin tuna, 60lb, got it in the boat. Great gaff job from Capt Novel on both wahoo and tuna. Continued to fish the bait pods and had multiple missed marlin and sails. Ended up finally having a sail bite the hook. Got that up to the boat, got our picture, and a clean release from the capt. continued the day and had a few more marlin smack baits but not take the hook (why it’s called fishing and not catching) although we had already caught. Finished the day like that and came back in saw a humpback whale was a little bonus. They provided sufficient drinks and food/ snacks which was plenty for us for the day. Overall a fantastic experience and couldn’t have have asked for a better day.

Did a 3/4 day trip with Novel and had a great time, fishing was a bit slow but Novel worked it like a pro. Started with some black tuna and ended with a beautiful sailfish. Would highly recommend, boat was awesome, handles the afternoon chop very well and all gear worked as it should.

Our captain was fighting some tough conditions and did his best to get us hooked up! I said I wanted to catch a rooster and he got us some, also every time he passed any trash in the ocean he stopped to pick it up to conserve and clean our natural resources, I appreciated that. He and his crewmate worked hard for us. I wanted to fish with a lure on a spinning rod and he got me what I wanted and made opportunities for me to fish from the front of the boat with the lure when we saw bait fish boiling , in between times of trolling and that was fun! Caught a couple bonito doing that on light tackle and it was cool.
Also we saw dolphins, and even two of what I think were humpback whales breaching and tail slapping. Snacks and drinks on the boat, I ate basically the equivalent of two whole pineapples
