GPP2024-01-05Nice boat, dedicated crew! These guys really did everything they can to make sure we were happy. They picked me up at a more convenient place so i avoided an extra hour drive. We wide not have good luck for the first 5 hours and they stayed out longer than we were supposed to. we ended up catching 3 big fish because of that!! one Mahi. One sail fish and one wahoo. I would use these guys again.Verified
Paul B2023-07-25Good day on the water! We had a great day with Capt. Fradian and mate Daniel. They worked hard to get us on the fish and it was a pleasure to be on the boat with them. We caught mahi mahi, pompano, and black tuna trolling. Our kids had a great time!Verified
Rob M2023-07-10Sport Fishing. We fished with Capt Lino and Mate Romario. One of my best trips ever. I run a 31 foot boat out of Brooklyn and we fish hard. 50 trips a year. Before leaving I contacted the group that sets up the charter. I wanted to make sure that they knew we wanted to fish. I understand that you don’t always catch but I wanted to make sure the Captain put us in the game. Captain Lino and Mate Romario did not disappoint. One of the best trips I have ever been on and the best tourist trip o have ever booked. These guys worked all day and put us on the fish. I would 100% recommend this boat to anyone looking to fish.Verified
masseyjw2023-07-06Best day fishing My family goes deep sea fishing on most of our vacations. My kids love fishing. Everything was perfect today. It was one of the best fishing trips we have ever taken. Adrian and David on the Sea Snake boat did a fabulous job staying on the fish. They were both great with my two kids. We caught over 30 fish in a short amount of time. We are extremely happy that we booked the Sea Snake. The day was absolutely perfect.Verified
kell w2023-07-04Great day of fishing! A wonderful day of fishing! We caught many types of fish, from small bait to giant rooster fish. The crew was skilled and even filleted our fish to take back tot he hotel. The hotel (dreams las mareas) cooked it for us for dinner!Verified
Katy2023-06-27Best offshore trip EVER My husband and I went out on the Tuna Fish boat with Caption Max and Romário. We went out looking to catch bill fish to mark off my husbands bucket list. We caught a trophy 11 foot 1 inch sail fish. We also caught another sail fish and grouper. Had a blast. Romário was so helpful and informative. They had plenty of fresh fruit, drinks and lunch for us. Made our trip to Costa Rica that much better!Verified
April S2023-06-11Professional and Fun The guides were extremely knowledgeable and had a variety of equipment for all kinds of fishing on the way out. We caught bait fish that were fun in itself. We were able to catch 3 large fish (one huge rooster and 2 barracuda) to make some family memories on this half day trip. In the start, they don't have time to talk much as they put out a variety of lines. The captain knew exactly where to go to find the fish that were biting.Verified
NJChavre2019-01-31Really good operation Went with Captain Nelson and had a great day. The crew worked hard and was very personable. The boat is a really nice size and is well set up for the offshore fishing we did. Seemed like a nice balance between comfort, functionality, and price. We landed mahi for everyone and then hooked a massive marlin that we fought for about an hour before my mistake set it free. Hoping to visit this area again some day. If I do, I will look these guys up again without hesitation.

BPM Group2024-04-21Hooked a couple of Sails today with Moses and Alex. Bonita and grouper were bonuses. Top notch guides and service. Highly recommend. U won't b disappointed!
Jane Doe2024-04-10Fradian was absolutely helpful with us. He was easy to contact, friendly, and provided us with detailed information about fishing. We booked three fishing days with Tuna Fish Sportfishing . These guys worked hard, and it was our best fishing trips ever. We highly recommend using Fradian's Fishing Charter for everyone. We hope to come back next year and definitely book again
MICK OWENS2024-03-30I booked the boat solo. The captain and mate were prompt with pickup and the boat was stocked with everything promised. The water was clear and flat. Great for sailing, tough for trolling. But, they worked hard to try to get me a sailfish. Had a couple marlin short strike and a wahoo bite the lure off but didn't get anything to the leader. We stopped for some bottom fishing to get some red snapper so I wouldn't go home without reeling something in. The chef at the steakhouse at Rui Gaunacasta made a great seafood buffet for us that we shared with others. It was a good experience and I'd book the Tuna Fish Sportfishing again if we return to that part of CR.
Michèle Légaré2024-03-29À very nice day fiahing. Had a wonderful time. They prepared a sashimi with the tuna we catched! It was amasing 😍
Michael Sheppard (Mike)2024-02-14This was an amazing experience for me and my wife. Super friendly and expert crew had us fishing in no time. Tuna, Jacks, Barracuda, and Rooster Fish. Tuna prepared for a snack on the boat and some of our catch taken to be cooked for dinner. Wonderful. We will be back with the rest of our family!!!
Adam Jacobson2023-12-30Great time fishing with Moses and Alex on the boat Wasabi Junior. They were on time, made everything aboard easy, and were very friendly. We caught a barracuda, a mahi mahi, and a blackfin tuna. The crew prepared ceviche on the boat and sent us home with clean fillets. Highly Recommend!
Chris carnes2023-12-27Really enjoyed going out on the La Lisa with Jose and his mate. We had a great time and caught lots of fish. The trip was highlighted with my first Roosterfish! Definitely a trip I will remember for a lifetime.
