Papagayo Fishing Boats

I am so glad we did this. My wife and I came down to the gulf of Papagayo for our honeymoon and decided after being here a day that we really wanted to try our hand at fishing. Fradian wasn’t phased by the short notice and found us a boat in no time at all. He also made it extremely easy to pay and he was great with communication. Completely satisfied with the day.

Everything was as promised, picked us up at the beach in front of the resort, the crew was excellent, the food on the boat was good, better than others we have been on. I requested american beer and they found it for me. The crew worked very hard in rough water to find fish. Definitely will use them again.

My 8 year old’s dream came true! Fishing in the pacific. The crew was very patient teaching him the basics. We managed to catch three different species on a very relaxed 4 hour trip. Thank you for a memorable experience for father and son

We booked the Charter over the internet before leaving the States. They picked us up from the beach at our resort on time just as advertised. We seen some of the most beautiful scenery while we were trolling. We caught 12 blue fin tuna and 2 big roster fish. Captain spoke English and very polite and friendly. Crew was very friendly and did their jobs perfectly. Great time, caught fish, and drank beer. What a great day fishing. Will do it again for sure.

Requested thar we target roosters, yellowfin tuna and cubbera snapper. Captain got first two done and then we trolled. Jumped a big marlin (250+) and got multiple hits. Great day and captain/crew made it happend. Highly recommend. April 30th 19

I´d say it was a big success. Romario was awesome to fish with. He treated us well. We caught a beautiful Sailfish around 110lbs, lost a black Marlin around 250lbs, and hooked a nice Mahi . Once we got our to fishing grounds, it was definitely too rough for kids…but they got through it. They had a nice mattress for the kids to rest, when the waves were rocking.I wouln´t take my kids that far out again…just adults.Aside from sea sickness. It was a wonderful day. Boat was nice and clean. Food and drinks were great. Romario & Max put us on fish. Thank you!

Thank you Fradian!, We had an amazing day of fishing!. Our guide and the captain knew just where the mahi mahi and tuna were biting. A great day was had by all. We will be contacting you again in our next Costa Rica fishing trip!

My wife and I came down for our honeymoon to secrets in papagayo Costa Rica. We decided to book a fishing trip on one of the days we were staying here and we booked la huida with Noel “nito” and Armando. They were waiting for us at the beach at 730 am like they had told us with a clean well maintained boat. We took the boat about 45 minutes out and began trolling for mahi mahi, meanwhile we started trolling we saw a pod of dolphins which made the wife very happy! It took us an hour or so of trolling to get into the fish and we were able to land 3 mahi mahi by the end of the day. My wife is not into fishing but they helped her land the largest of what we caught which is pretty cool of them. If you are staying at any of the larger hotels they will keep what you caught cold and set you up with a cooler for a small fee to bring it home with you. All in all it was a lot of fun and I would do it again.

Fished on the Tuna Fish boat. The capt. And crew put me on fish right away. All worked very hard trying everything in the book to get a Sailfish in the boat for me. The first mate was always on the move, checking and changing things up. Thanks guys, see you next year.

The crew was so nice and accommodating…..we caught a nice sailfish and just had a beautiful day on the water! They fed us a nice lunch and it was a perfect day. Highly recommend this charter service!
