Alberto and Daniel took great care of us from the moment we climbed onboard! Snacks and drinks were waiting for us, along with lunch for our half day trip. They took care to answer all the questions we had and took time to point out and teach us about the landscapes and the sealife we saw. We fished for tuna and rooster, and did catch yellowfin and mackerel! We enjoyed a lovely ceviche prepared by Daniel right on the boat with our fresh catch! I would suggest bringing cash as there was a snag with using the credit card reader but with Alberto's quick thinking we eventually worked the payment issue out. 10/10 would recommend!
I would highly recommend anyone to spend a day fishing with Alberto and his crew!! Multiple times he went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and taken care of. He could have taken us back early but kept fishing to ensure we caught some beautiful large fish and he did not disappoint! I highly recommend him and his crews companionship and fishing experience.

El pasado 13 de abril de 2026 tuve la oportunidad de realizar un tour de pesca junto a mis compañeros de trabajo con el Capitán Alberto. Esta fue ya mi tercera vez a bordo, y cada ocasión confirma su gran experiencia y conocimiento del Golfo de Papagayo. El Capitán sabe exactamente cuáles son los puntos de pesca más productivos y navega con total seguridad gracias a su vasta trayectoria en el mar. Además, cuenta con todo el equipo necesario para que la experiencia sea completa y disfrutable. Sin duda, siempre es un placer salir a pescar con él.

My husband and I fish all over the world. Our trip was with Alberto was first class! Captain and “Izzy”, his first mate made this birthday extra special for me! We not only caught fish but they made frech ceviche right off of the hook! Alberto not only made the trip safe and comfortable, he also keeps it entertaining.

Recomiendo al capitán Alberto la pola. Conoce el océano. Y muy buena atención.
Captain Alberto picked us up bright and early at Playa Del Coco for our trip. The fishing was slow, but him and his first mate did their best to put us on fish. We did end up catching a few smaller Mahi Mahi which was nice. Snacks and cold drinks were provided as well. Make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat because it gets hot out there. The coat has a canopy over the front seating area which was a blessing. Would definitely book again.
Caught three tuna while trolling, used one for bait and ended up with a nice barracuda! Bottom fished for about an hour and ended up with over 20 fish, inclduing an eel! great trip overall!

It was a great day of fishing with Captain Alberto. The boat had everything we needed for the fishing trip: fishing gear, bait, and a very experienced crew. We had a great time and will definitely book with them again.
