great experience with capt. Marco
We had a great experience with capt. Marco! We went out on a full day of inshore fishing. Captain marco and David were very accommodating and flexible. We stayed inshore for most of the day and caught one mahi mahi and a roosterfish. Captain marco offered us the option to go near the lighthouse of Puntarenas to see if we had more luck and we caught quite a few mackerels and a Jack. We stayed out a bit longer than scheduled and had a lot of fun!! Then we went to the Captain’s restaurant, and the waiter offered to cook up some of our mahi mahi for our dinner. It was the best meal we’ve ever had and they kept it in the freezer while we ate. No charge to cook the fish. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!!

Wash out
Despite a very poor weather forecast and enquiry as to whether we should go, no response was given and our money was taken before we had a chance to cancel. The sheeting rain and cold meant I came away shaking, as was our guide and I was unwell for 3 days. We were not offered lunch beyond a quarter pineapple and only a bottle of water and a pack of peanuts. The boat was comfortable and the tour guide and pick up arrangements worked. In my opinion, we should not however have gone out. Needless to say no fish were caught, though the boat team did do their best with different techniques. A very expensive wash out.
