First trip to Costa Rica and the experience was amazing.  Booked a full day trip through Fishing Booker and the process was painless.  We chose Costa Tamarindo after reading great reviews.  My daughter, son and I met the team on the beach and headed out to the boat. Boat was stocked with snacks and drinks, clean and ready to go.  Captain and first mate were awesome and put us on fish early.  We loaded the boat with quality Yellow Fin, some Bonita, and a Rainbow Runner. Headed offshore to... Meer

Captain and first mate were great! They got us onto tuna right out of the gate. Brought us a bottle of champagne because I had mentioned it was our honeymoon. They had snacks and beer as well.( typically) went bottom fishing and then onto swordfish. They went a bit longer because we got so close to catching a swordfish several times and were very eager to get us one. But that’s fishing… :)) also loved the boat, lots of shade.  would go with them again in n a heartbeat. We are eating the tuna... Meer

We had a great time on our 3/4 trip, it was well worth it and we caught fish when there were other boats around us catching nothing. We even watched a sailfish strike happen, so close to a hook up! I’d like to address some of the other reviews that I think are misplaced. We had Captain Novel and I only speak English. I was able to communicate with him just fine so the review about communication is hard to believe. I’ve fished all over the world and found this trip to be professional... Meer

We went with a family of 4 in August 2025. Captain Novel asked us what we wanted to catch. We asked to catch sailfish, mahi mahi and tuna. He delivered and more so. Caught 6 Yellowfin, 2 Wahoo, 1 sailfish, and finished off with a beautiful Mahi Mahi. Crew was amazing. They cleaned the fish, got us the fish we wanted, saw Whaled, turtles and dolphins. Couldn’t have asked for more. We made Wahoo fish tacos that night for dinner. Delish. Our family would definitely recommend this charter to anyone... Meer

We had an awesome experience and me and my husband both caught lots of fish. The captain really knows what he’s doing. I’ve never seen someone with so much knowledge when it comes to fishing. Near the end, I got a little seasick because I am someone that easily gets sick on boats. The captain was very sweet and when I asked to return an hour early, he said that was no problem. And he would check on me. Amazing experience overall I would recommend it to friends and family.
