Just my son and me. I’ll remember this trip for a long time. He had the time of his life fighting a Marlin. Thanks to Gary and his crew.

Gary stayed in touch from the beginning of planning the trip which alleviated any concerns about the trip. Everything was as promised. Boat, equipment, food, and length of trip were right on. Everyone in our group caught a fish. Will definitely book him if/when we return to Costa Rica.
