Tide & Weather ReportBooking & Trip Questions
If the weather turns and it's not safe to fish, your captain makes the call and we don't go out — safety comes first, always. When we cancel for weather, you can reschedule for another day during your stay or take a full refund. If you need to cancel on your end, give us as much notice as you can and we'll do our best to work with you.
Bring sun protection — hat, reef-safe sunscreen, polarized sunglasses — and a light layer, since it can get breezy offshore. Soft-soled shoes or bare feet only (no black soles that mark the deck). We provide all the rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice. Bring your own food and drinks if you'd like; and if you're prone to seasickness, take something before you board, not after.
Most guests meet us right at the dock in Playa Potrero. If you're staying nearby and need a hand getting there, let us know when you book and we'll point you to the easiest option. Tell us where you're staying and we'll sort out the details with you.
We accept cash in US dollars or Costa Rican colones, and can arrange other options — just ask when you book. A deposit holds your date, with the balance due the day of the trip. We'll confirm the exact amount and how to pay when you reserve.
Some days the bite is red hot and some days it's slow — no honest captain can guarantee a catch. What we can promise is that we'll run you to the best water we know and work hard the whole trip. Our captains fish these waters every day, which puts the odds in your favor, but the ocean always gets the final say.
