"World Class Family Adventure! We took our kids (ages 5 & 3) on the Marine Adventure. It was the highlight of our trip to Peninsula Papagayo."
“We had an amazing time on this fishing charter! The entire crew was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. I would highly recommend booking a full-day trip aboard the new boat — it made the whole experience even more unforgettable!”
“Highly recommend this trip whether you're traveling with young kids or as an adult couple. The staff was incredible — the crew was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. From start to finish, everything felt first class!”
“Fishing with this crew will completely raise your expectations — in the best way! Their service is second to none. The captain expertly navigated choppy seas while we kept reeling in fish. Sailfish, Bonito, Yellowfin Tuna, and the highlight — a 350+ lb Black Marlin that we released for the next lucky angler!”
“We had an unforgettable fishing experience! The captain and crew were fantastic — constantly adjusting lines, switching bait, and doing everything possible to help us catch fish. Everyone on board had a great catch. This ended up being our favorite excursion in all of Costa Rica!”
