We had the best time with Capt. Juan and assistant Beto. They made the experience fun and we caught lots of fish that we then had for diner at a local restaurant! Our fresh dinner was delicious. Highly recommend
Great fishing trip. We had a 7 year old with us on his first ever fishing trip and he had a great time. We caught tuna and Mahi Mahi.
Took a 3/4 day charter out of Tamarindo with my wife and two sons (5 & 7). We were hoping to catch a rooster fish, but as it’s not the ideal season, we went offshore. Within the first 45 minutes, we had a 90 lb sailfish at the boat. Shortly after, we had another sailfish at the boat. I was starting to worry that I was going to tap out from exhaustion before my kiddos! All in all, we caught three sailfish, a nice yellowfin, and two juvenile dolphin. We missed a handful of bites and had a couple fish shake the hook while trying to help the boys reel them in. These guys expertly filleted our tuna and as soon as we got home, we promptly whipped up some sashimi and it was AWESOME. Doesn’t get any fresher than that… The 3/4 and full day charters come with lunch, and I was not expecting much. To my pleasant surprise, the sandwiches they provided were superb. I was a little reluctant to spend $1k+ on a fishing trip, but it was so worth it. I’d highly recommend these guys. They were on top of everything, and so patient with us. If you’re on the fence, pull the trigger…. You won’t regret it.
Subpar experience, to say the least. The guide was excellent and the deckhand worked hard, so no complaints there. My biggest issue was that we spent nearly two hours of our trip catching bait, which ended up consuming roughly 45% of the charter time we paid for. In my opinion, a professional charter should have bait prepared and ready to go before clients step on the boat, allowing the trip to focus on fishing rather than spending a large portion of the day gathering bait. Unfortunately, that significantly impacted the overall experience and the amount of actual fishing time we had.
Amazing fishing trip! We caught a sailfish, had the best time, and enjoyed fresh pineapple, sodas, and beer out on the water. Would definitely do it again 🎣☀️🍍🍺
Had an awesome deep sea fishing trip! The crew was super nice and professional the whole time—really took great care of us and had a great attitude. Highly recommend!
First time fishing for my wife and daughter. Both caught sailfish on a half day trip which was well beyond our expectations. Crew were both very good. They changed lures until they found the right combination
Great fishing experience off the coast of Tamarindo! We caught a bunch of fish, including a yellow-fin tuna, and had a nice time.
Juan and Luis were awesome and knew where to find the fish - 7 Mahi and 5 Yellow fin! Great day and my buddies were raving about it!
Juan was right on time and we were fishing within 20 minutes. Caught a nice assortment of Tuna, Bonita, Mackeral, wahoo and more. Also whales were jumping nearby. What a day!
We had a great fishing experience! Meeting up with the tour was easy and they were in constant communication with us. Once on the boat, we were given the opportunity to customize the trip, but when the fish weren't cooperating, Captain David had no problem changing plans so we could be sure to catch some fish. Everyone was helpful and pleasant! I definitely recommend this charter and trust you'll enjoy your experience!
It was an amazing experience never been deep sea fishing before but have always wanted to try it for first time goers it was great
Excellent charter and experienced captain. First mate was also excellent. Caught many sailfish in 3/4 day tour
Great time! Caught 2 yellowtail tunas and a huge sailfish in 4 hours! Would’ve stayed out longer but 2 of us were seasick!
Caught a marlin, when no other boat did that day. Max and David were great guys, wish we caught more but all depends on the winds. Great experience would recommend
David and Jose were great guides! Really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend booking with them.
I truly enjoyed my experience! The crew was amazing and very accommodating! I caught 4 sailfish which was an amazing experience! Pura Vida!
This was a fabulous trip. We loved every minute of it. We caught 2 sailfish and then released them. It was a wonderful experience. Our crew was fabulous and very helpful. I cannot say enough great things about this trip. Highlt recommend.
We had an excellent, successful experience with our group of five (three adults and two kids). David, Sarah, and crew were friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. They communicated timely and clearly in advance. David offered his expertise on where to go and what to fish for based on how the week was trending, and we were able to land a very nice sailfish when the other boats had no luck that day. The boat was clean and well maintained, and stocked with more than enough drinks and snacks for our group. We would highly recommend this group to anybody and will reach out to them again next time we’re in Costa Rica!
David and Max are awesome. Caught a Mahi and Max filleted the fish on the boat for us. They provided beer, lunch and snacks. Great day.
We met at 7am for our charter. We met with David, the captain and his assistant. We went on a 5 hour charter and they did everything they could to help us catch fish including trying different areas of the Pacific to catch different fish. Unfortunately, other than a Black Tuna that we caught, the fish were not biting that day. But the two man team was still very hospitable, provided us with drinks and fruit and made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole charter. We would definitely try them again when we come back to Costa Rica.
We had an excellent 1/2 day fishing experience. Caught 4 fish and had a few others on the line. David and Sara were excellent and made the trip so much fun for the entire family. After the tour was over David suggested a restaurant that took our catch and prepared it for us. Highly recommend this couple for an amazing experience.
Excellent half day of fishing. Captain David and crew are the absolute best. Even though we had a little rain, he put us right on the fish and we caught them. Tuna and Mackerel. Then I recommend taking your fresh filets to the Rastafari food truck feet from the beach. Look for the red, gold and green and when you sight the Lion of Judah flag, you know you’re at the right place. They cooked and prepared our fish better than anything we’ve had. Also strongly recommend Tamarindo Surf and David for your surfing lessons and efoil rental. He runs a great operation
The weather was stormy but we still caught fish! Our captain and first mate were great and came home with some tuna.I would book them again.
David and crew were absolutely pros. We landed a ton of mahi and tuna that day while enjoying some of the most beautiful waters and coastline you'll see. I could not recommend them more.
A 5 out of 5. Cannot say enough good things. From ease of booking, beautiful boat, awesome Captain and First mates! They went out of their way to make us comfortable and the entire trip focused on my son’s fishing success. Successful it was!
We had a great time with David and William! They were communicative leading up to the trip and day of was a blast. We caught 6 mackerel and 1 wahoo! They were so knowledgeable about fishing in Costa Rica and took great care of us. The boat was beautiful and fully outfitted with all the bells and whistles. We can’t recommend them enough!
Super day fishing, we had a nice time !!! Thank you all!
It was perfect and impeccable service! We caught 6 fish! I recommend them to you without hesitation!
The guides are so kind and do everything to make our experience memorable! We had a great time with family!
Thanks to Tamarindo Surf & Tours, our first high seas experience in the Pacific to me and my boy was a success!! With the Blue Runner, we each had the chance to bring a swordfish (sailfish) back to the edge of the boat for beautiful pictures of our sport fishing... and this, in respect and safety of our catch during release. To see this big, powerful and beautiful fish come out of the water struggling, will be an unforgettable memory. Thanks to Sara and her team!
Very nice family fishing experience. David and Augustine were excellent guides and very patient for the children. We will choose them again for another activity surely
Thank you to Tamarindo Surf & Tours for offering us 3 great activity experiences this week, namely sea fishing, mountain biking and surfing lessons!! We are satisfied with the professionalism of the company and we recommend it to everyone. The company can communicate in French, English, and Spanish.
3 wonderful days in Costarica with this company💚….We did business with them, this dynamic young couple and what a pleasure they were!!! In addition, to note that Sara one of the 2 owners speaks 3 languages...extremely practical so that we understand what was expected of us. Finally thank you for everyone and for the experience that you gave us. Fishing on the high seas…and lots of dolphins!!! I didn't expect!!! Wow!! And I thought I wouldn't succeed in surfing 🏄!! I succeeded!!! Thank you and good luck to you.
