Our group of 9 had a GREAT time aboard Nauti Ventures! The weather was beautiful and we were all able to make several catches - specifically Mahi Mahi and Sail Fish. I admittedly stopped counting, but we had to have caught at least 25 fish.

The captain and his firstmates were friendly, professional, and got straight to business; they worked hard to make sure we had a great time. We enjoyed the drinks, fruit, and lunch they offered - the boat was in good condition too. Catching Tuna would have made this a perfect day, but we can’t always get what we want LOL. THANK YOU!

The boat is well equipped and has several areas to hang out while waiting for the fish to arrive.
I can’t say enough about the Captain and Crew. They were friendly and helpful, but most of all they made the day special for everyone. As a blind person I was worried that I wouldn’t be given the same experiences as the other people in the group. The team helped me by having me feel everything so I would know what to expect, and when the fish was on the line they let me bring it in the same as the others. I felt included and so excited when that fish finally was landed.
This was a family event for us and it was the highlight of our trip! Everyone talked about it for the rest of our time together and it will be a wonderful memory for us going forward. Thank you for this great experience!

We booked The Relaxer lookingbfor an experienced captain and crew, not a bunch of creature comforts. If you are looking for a cabin where you can hang out and be comfortable until there is a fish on, this is not the boat for you. If you are looking for a local who will work their butts off to get fish, even on a day no other boats are catching, this is your boat. Bring sunscreen, a sun shirt, a hat and a good attitude and you will have a blast. We didn’t catch as much as we wanted but we did get some, and we saw plenty of sea life. We would definitely book The Relaxer again.

From the time of booking, i receieved whats app messages, text messages, and fishing booker app messages from 3 differenet people!! The first was a confirmation text for wrong boat and date! every line of communication I emphasized that we only wanted to fish for Tuna. Owner of charter ensured me live bait would be on the boat in preparation for tuna fishing! when we arrived to the boat on the charter day, the captain asked “what are we targeting for”?!!!! Are you serious, i texted Steve, Johnny, and Didier that we wanted tuna and you ask on our arrival what we want to target! And guess what, there was no live bait on board! Organizational skills for this operation is not what earned stars! capt and first mate are not at fault, they were a great crew, but to have to go through our 5th.  charter out of quepos and still not be prepped for tuna which was noted on app from time of booking, is poor business!

Unforgettable Day on the Water with Nauti Ventures!
We had an absolutely incredible day fishing with Nauti Ventures in Costa Rica! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The crew knew exactly where the fish were—we were pulling them in all day long! It was nonstop action, and every moment was a thrill.
The team on board was not only professional and skilled but also super friendly and helpful. You could tell they were passionate about what they do, and their knowledge of the local waters made all the difference. Whether it was baiting hooks, giving tips, or celebrating each catch, they were on it.
If (or rather when) we come back to Costa Rica, there’s no question—we’re booking with Nauti Ventures again. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun, productive, and expertly guided day on the ocean.
