We booked a half-day of inshore fishing with Captain Jerry and his first mate Kenneth on board Cowboy. The boat and gear are top notch, and Jerry and Kenneth are good guys who worked hard. The southern coastline along Manuel Antonio where we fished was absolutely gorgeous.

Kenneth was great with our two 12 year old boys; he was patient and kind but serious enough to get and keep their attention. They were casting and reeling like pros under his guidance.

We spent the first hour catching a couple dozen sardines and then off we went to hopefully land some rooster fish. It wasn’t meant to be for the rooster fish but the boys landed five good-sized fish including two catfish, two needle fish and one nice red snapper that we took home for dinner.

I’d gladly recommend these guys and we’ll come back for marlin and sailfish when the boys are older. Pura vida!

First of all WE HAD A BLAST OF A DAY !!.
We caught 2 nice Tuna and although we had hoped to catch much more the fishing gods were not with us on our day. (That’s why our sport is called fishing - not catching)
Fish were everywhere (we saw many Tuna - MahiMahi - SailFish jumping) and captain Yeri and mate Juan Carlos went the extra mile for sure and did all possible to chase them down to catch them but they just wouldn’t bite.
All boats around us went back to port empty, we stayed out longer and 2 Tuna were our trophy.
But our trip (me and my 15yr daughter) had a special cause and Yeri and Juan Carlos delivered besides fishing a day full of excitement.
We saw Manta’s jumping - Seaturtles and uncountable amount of spinner dolphins. My daughter even jumped between them and saw them up-close and hundreds of tuna below and around them.
Further more personal input, sharing of local knowledge and insights by Yeri/Juan Carlos made the day special.
Thanks for all and we can highly recommend them.!
GREAT DAY AT SEA

Our captain, Yeri, and crew were awesome!! They worked hard to make sure we found the good spots and catch some fish.  We were able to catch six tunas (good dinner!)!  We also saw hundreds of dolphins, a turtle, a whale and lots of different fish species.  We had a GREAT time with The Cowboy!  Highly recommend them if you are in the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area.

Jerry and Juan-Carlo have put all required energy and effort to get us to the fish, and succeeded greatly with catch of 9 yellow thin tunas of great size. Professional and ethical service plus friendly attitude made this day a great experience. For sure we’ll call them back on a future trip in Costa Rica, I recommend these guys anytime.

Wonderful time with the captain and crew! They have the skills and knowledge to put you right on top of the fish. Left out at 7am then on to catch bait. Near 11am we had 7 beautiful yellowfin on the deck. By 12:30 we were hooked up to a beautiful blue marlin. Sailfish we’re all around us but sadly wouldn’t take the hook. These guys will take care of your every need and keep you smiling all day. You will not be disappointed!
