Captain
Fabian Ramírez

Member since July 2025 Quepos, Costa Rica
Background
I’m Captain Fabián Ramírez, born and raised in Costa Rica. My family has run a whitewater rafting company since 1993, so adventure and the outdoors have always been part of my life. After graduating high school, I moved to San José for college, but the beauty of Manuel Antonio pulled me back. I spent the next 10 years guiding rivers and sharing Costa Rica’s wild side with travelers from around the world. Fishing was always a passion of mine, but I never got to do it as much as I wanted—until my son Kai was born. He was hooked from the start, and that’s when my own fishing journey truly began. We started casting for Machacas in the river, then moved to kayaks in the mangroves and along the coast. Eventually, I got my first boat—a custom 13-footer with a 15 HP engine. Eight years later, I’m proud to run fishing trips out of Manuel Antonio, doing what I love and helping others create unforgettable memories on the water.
Techniques
I personally love fishing with artificial lures. There’s something truly fascinating about tricking a fish with just a piece of plastic—it’s a challenge that never gets old. Topwater lures are my absolute favorite; when a fish explodes on the surface, that moment is pure adrenaline, and I couldn’t be happier. I also enjoy vertical jigging, especially when targeting species holding deep. And of course, I love trolling with guests and using live bait—it’s always exciting to see what hits next, and these methods are great for getting people of all experience levels on fish.
