Everything was very smooth. Easy to book and communicate via WhatsApp. Enjoyed offshore, but the onshore rooster fishing with captain Moises was the best!

What a great experience. Diego, Brian, and Jose were an excellent captain and crew. The Mamacita Rica was the perfect boat, as well. Yellowfin Tuna and Sailfish. Awesome day!

We had a great experience on the 37’ Maverick (Spider). The air conditioning, bathroom, sea keeper, and comfortable seating were a nice touch. We caught Mahi Mahi and a Pacific Sailfish! We will be back!

Excellent time. Was lucky enough to catch a sail fish and several groupers. Captain and his crew mate were awesome. Would definitely book again next time we are in the area.

I had an AWESOME experience with Tuna Fish Sportsfishing. Captain Moises and mate are very experienced and knew where to go for the fish species we wanted, Roosterfish. We were picked up by boat from our Villa at Behia Pez Vela , which made it so much easier for me not having to arrange transportation. We were provided snacks, sandwiches, water & beer! I would definitely recommend Captain Moises. Thank you Captain Moises , mate , tuna fish sportsfishing and COSTA RICA!

My family of four enjoyed an unforgettable full day of fishing with Manuel and Jaime on the God Will. This was our first real off shore fishing trip. Prior to the excursion, we were asked what we were hoping to catch, and the captain did not disappoint! We were picked up on the shore of Ocotal beach and my son reeled in a sailfish within the first hour and a half. (Billfish are catch and release.) Before the end of the day, my son and daughter each pulled in a tuna and mahi mahi, checking 3 out of four fish off our wishlist. Jaime watched the lines like a hawk, and was quick the get us on the rod. During slow times, he prepared beautiful plates of pineapple and watermelon, sandwiches, and chips with black bean dip and salsa. We also enjoyed fresh mahi mahi sashimi prepared with avocado, lime and onion, served with chips. The boat was well stocked with a variety of cold drinks, water and a few beers.Thankfully, Jaime spoke English and answered all of our questions about fishing and the area. At the end, Jaime filleted our fish in the return trip. We saw 3 sea snakes, at least 5 large sea turtles, and more dolphins than we could count, which many times swam near the boat. Everything was professional from start to finish. The company was very responsive to texts. They took pictures that we hope to get soon. Overall, this was a dream trip for my children, 11 and 14, and myself and my husband. I highly recommend. Things you may be wondering: 1. The toilet was in a small space, but did flush. The roof comes off so you can get air if you're claustrophobic. The floor got wet in there. No toilet paper. I recommend bringing wet wipes if you may need them, and at least to wipe your hands. 2. There will be fish blood. It will get on you. Dress accordingly. However, the boat was kept clean the entire time. We washed off with buckets of sea water. 3. We came back with WAY more filleted fish than we expected but didn't know that until we got off the boat. I should have offered some to the crew. 4. If you bring kids, know that there are slow times, like all fishing. Mine did great but we did play some games ("imposter" using my phone) spotted sea life, and sunbathed during downtime. 5. There is a roof, which provided excellent shade, but we still got sunburned. 6. We went in the rainy season but the weather was clear and warm. We were not rained on. Darker clouds started forming around 2:30. Rain usually comes later in the day. 7. The waves were not big, no whitecaps, but rolling. We were able to sit on the bow and enjoy the scenery between catches. No one got seasick, but when I got off the boat, I still had sea legs for about 3 hours. 😵‍💫

This excursion was so much fun with our family. We caught 6 fish and had a blast. The captain made us fresh ceviche and pineapple.
