Gerald and Capt. Robert were great. They accommodated our request that this trip be kids friendly (11 and 12) so they didn't go very far but provided a excitement packed trip nevertheless: a 63 inch rooster fish that my son fought for 35 minutes before landing it (C and R). Gerald was very patient and worked with him on techniques and encouraged him the whole time. My son's biggest fish before this was a 3+ pound trout from a stocked pond. Then we got two mahi mahi/dorado that we kept. Gerald prepared a filet for sashimi/ceviche that is laid out professionally just like the most fancy Japanese restaurants in LA (Nobu!). On top of it, we saw tremendous number of wildlife: green sea turtles, three humpbacks whales(!), dolphins, and rays leaping out of the water. I am sure there is no guarantee that every trip will turn up as nice as this one (I have been on plenty trips elsewhere when I got skunked) but Gerald and Capt Robert's professionalism, knowledge, and friendly approach to the kids really was the icing on the cake that made this a very memorable trip and I am so glad I was able to share it with my kids.…

We fished with them for two days. The first day was a half day trip. We were met on the beach by Michael, who was so kind and helped with all the details of getting us safely on the boat with all our stuff kept dry. Once on the boat, we were greeted by Gerald (first mate). I have fished all over the world, and I have not met a better mate. His work ethic, energy, knowledge of fishing, and attention to detail are top shelf. He even fished a plate of fresh fruit, made fresh cerviche for the ride back home. My daughters and wife all caught Mahi. Gerald also managed to have the boat spic and span and all the fish cleaned by the time we returned. The second day was a full day and was a repeat of the 5 star service. My son caught a sailfish, and we loaded the boat with Mahi. Again, Gerald prepared homemade sandwiches (delicious!) and fresh cerviche from our catch. The fishing was the highlight of our week in Costa Rica!…

Amazing experience! I booked a fishing trip for myself and my 3 daughters. Gerald and Ronald (the captain) took great care of us from the very beginning. The picked us up right on the beach outside our resort. From the very beginning, these guys helped us with our belongings as they assisted us on the boat. The Customer Service is second to none. The boat is clean and the staff is very friendly. We caught 3 Mahi Mahi, a Tuna, and 3 Red Snappers. It was a very good first experience for 2 of my 3 daughters. Gerald prepared one of the fish that we caught along with a very nice fruit tray. We learned about about the Costa Rican country and the culture by talking with Gerald. I would definitely recommend this trip. Thanks Gerald and Ronald!…
