In retrospect I would NOT recommend fishing in Costa Rica between May and September. The fishing is scarce and not worth the money but the captains will still expect a large tip despite a disappointing experience. This captain refused to say hello to me the next day when his tip matched the experience and not his expectation. Pura Vida! Absolutely not!

We really enjoyed our trip with captain Tito and Roy. They took care of us and worked hard to make sure we caught fish. Much better than our last experience in Mexico However when we were returning to the marina they put a sign up facing the front of the boat which read “the tip is 20% of the price of the trip”. This lead to an awkward situation because we had no more cash on us. We had given him all our money at the start of the trip which included a %12 tip - we just rounded up $720 to $800. And where we come from that would be considered a decent tip. We’re blue collar people and this fishing trip and coming to CR is our retirement dream trip which we have been saving for for years. So for the sake of us common folk please clearly detail what the minimum gratuity % is expected by the captain when we are shopping for and booking these trips through your app. That is the upfront and ethical way to operate a business. Nobody enjoys an embarrassing situation at the end of what was a wonderful experience.

Great day aboard Fish Hunter! Juan Jose and Rafael were amazing in every aspect of the trip. Plenty of fish, Rooster, Snapper, Corvina and Jack!!!

Had a fun half day with Capt. Juan and Rafael fishing inshore for Roosterfish.  Were able to hook up with 4 good size roosters, and this was our plan for a short day.  Boat was clean and comfortable.  Captain and deck hand worked hard to keep us on the fish.

The captain communicated with me very well as the trip approached and was ready for me. We spent a few hours inshore without success but the captain constantly checked the baits and changed locations in search of fish. With only ~2 or so hours remaining he suggested we go further offshore in search of Dorado,  to.which I agreed and we hit JACKPOT. After trolling with lures for 10 or so minutes I landed my first Mahi Mahi and then 5 more.followed. At times we had active doubleheader on. Great experience and would recommend.
