5.00Bismark and Fabian were absolutely incredible. My husband, 13 year son and myself enjoyed a glorious day on the water. We caught so much fish we shared with Bismark and Fabian. While it’s a smaller vessel, the intimate experience is so worth it. They were attentive, patient, knew all the best spots and cheered us on as we reeled in the catch.
Great personal experience

5.00Really enjoyed our fishing trip with Sailfish tours. Caroline and Bismarck were great and despite the rough seas they were able to get us on some snapper and tuna. I will definitely book with them again and pray for calmer seas. Had our catch cooked for dinner too!

5.00Went on a half day fishing trip out of Tamarindo, Costa Rica with Caroline and Bismark. They got us on some Albacore Tuna right away. Bismark cleaned them right on the boat for us. Was a pretty wavy day but Caroline kept checking on us making sure we were all doing ok. Great conversation and a great time!
Highly recommend

5.00Our family had an amazing time with Caroline and Bismark. Caroline contacted us and warned that the waters might be rough and to bring anti-nausea pills but in the end the waters were calm. We were also told no guarantees for catching fish but we caught 8 tuna and kept 3 that Bismark kindly skinned and gutted. I made fish tacos for lunch and sushi tuna for dinner. We were also served the most amazing tasting pineapple and a few very cold beers. I would highly recommend this excursion.
Great for short trips with kids

5.00This is a smaller boat and perfect for a short trip, especially with kids. Our son had a blast, caught a tuna and was home by lunch. Both the captain and first mate took care of everything- we just had to show up on the beach and go.
Great time fishing and chatting with the guides

5.00Had an amazing time! Bismark knew all the good spots and what lures to use at the right times. Great vibes on the boat, caught tons of fish and learned lots about fishing / the local area.
