Early Bite, Fresh Sashimi, and Paradise Island Why choose between a world-class fishing charter and a tropical island getaway when you can have both? We cleared the marina early at 6:30 AM to maximize every minute of the day. Just 7 miles out, we began tracking a beautiful blue-water color change, leading us to one of our favorite secret spots about 10 miles out. The ocean welcomed us with three clean Black Tunas—which our crew immediately transformed into a spectacular, ultra-fresh sashimi right on the deck! By 8:20 AM, the action heated up as we ran into a productive current line and hooked into a thrilling double-hookup of Mahi-Mahi (Dorados). One put up a spectacular fight and managed a lucky escape right by the gunwale, but we cleanly boated the second one, securing another premium catch. With our fishing fix satisfied, we set coordinates for the enchanting Tortuga Island. The weather was absolutely perfect—warm sunshine and calm, gentle breezes. Our guests spent an unforgettable afternoon enjoying the beach, riding the high-energy banana boat, and sharing a delicious lunch on the white sands. We made a quick trolling pass on the way back to port, but the ocean decided to let us just relax and enjoy the sunset navigation. A flawless day from start to finish! Daily Log: Service: Fishing & Tortuga Island Combo Charter Departure Time: 06:30 AM Total Catch: 3 Black Tunas (served as fresh onboard sashimi), 2 Mahi-Mahi (from an exciting double-hookup) Island Activities: Beach relaxation, local lunch, and high-energy Banana Boat rides. Key Highlight: Combining tactical offshore fishing with premium hospitality (onboard sashimi preparation) and a flawless family beach day under perfect weather conditions. #IslaTortuga #MahiMah #SashimiOnBoard #CostaRicaComboTour #HerraduraBeach #PuraVida

2 Sailfish and Prime Snappers When a fellow boat captain and his wife stepped aboard the Mathis, their goal was clear: land a bucket-list billfish. In offshore fishing, plans often adapt to the conditions—and when you have an expert crew at the helm, those adjustments turn into pure success. Before mid-day on our 8-hour run, the ocean rewarded our precise positioning with two massive, gorgeous Sailfish successfully fought and safely released right by the gunwale, along with three prime Red Snappers to ensure an incredible dinner back on shore. However, true seamanship isn't just about catching fish; it’s about taking care of the people on board. When our assistant fell ill mid-day alongside a sudden rise in heavy winds, we didn't hesitate. We adjusted our schedule, prioritized health and comfort, and navigated back at a smooth, careful pace. We returned to port with full hieleras, a healthy crew, and the immense satisfaction of a mission accomplished. Daily Log: Service: Full-Day Offshore / Inshore Combo Charter (Adjusted Return) Target Guests: Returning Commercial/Charter Captain & Spouse Total Catch: 2 Sailfish (Safely released at the gunwale), 3 Red Snappers (Pargos Rojos). Key Highlight: Reaching target catch objectives before mid-day (2 Sailfish & 3 Red Snappers), followed by a cautious and safe navigation back to port to prioritize crew health amid sudden windy conditions. #Mathisfishinglegends #Sailfish #RedSnapper #CostaRicaFishing #HerraduraBeach #Seamanship #PuraVida

Unlocking Dream Roosterfish There is no higher honor in the charter business than having fellow professional captains step aboard to fulfill their own bucket-list dreams. We set out at first light with two accomplished captains who, despite their years on the water, had never landed a Roosterfish. With the outgoing tide running out of time, every minute was critical. Captain Jorge executed a brilliant tactical game plan: we ran straight to our furthest southern marks first, creating a rolling strategy to fish our way back toward the coast. The ocean rewarded our calculated positioning almost instantly! The first strike was pure adrenaline—a massive, aggressive Roosterfish attacked so fiercely it rushed two of our lines simultaneously, making us think we had a double-hookup! Shortly after, a second trophy Roosterfish of equal size hit the deck. To round out a perfect session, we shifted to some productive bottom spots for fresh table fish before heading back to port with big smiles and ultimate respect among captains. Daily Log: Service: Early Morning Inshore & Bottom Combo Charter Target Guests: Professional Captains (First-time Roosterfish Hunters) Strategy: Tactical long-range run south, fishing back toward port to maximize tide windows. Total Catch: 2 Trophy Roosterfish (Catch & Release, high-aggression strikes), plus mixed bottom species. Key Highlight: Captain Jorge successfully guiding fellow commercial/charter captains to their bucket-list Roosterfish trophies using high-level tidal positioning. #Roosterfish #CostaRicaSportfishing #CaptainsChoice #HerraduraBeach #CatchAndRelease
