We wanted to fish with a captain & mate that’s had grown up in CR to increase our odds because of their knowledge & experience of local waters nearshore & offshore! Man did we hit the JACKPOT with this choice!!! These two promised to put us on the species we were seeking. They did just that! They let us catch our own live bait which was an experience within itself…what a blast! After catching bait we’d head off to the fishing grounds. It was almost like he already knew what fish was going to be where! These gentlemen treat you like family! We were so impressed we went back three more times & are headed back in November to fish the Dorado tournament! We also fished the Rooster Rodeo & our lady on board won the Lady Angler division!!! Will not ever fish on a different boat!! Don’t get me wrong, lots of great captains there but we found our guys!

If you're looking for the ultimate fishing charter in Costa Rica, stop searching and book with The Sushi Hunter. We booked this trip as part of our bachelor party, and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of the entire vacation. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew made us feel like family. They were incredibly welcoming, professional, knowledgeable, and worked their tails off all day to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. The action on the water was incredible, and the crew's expertise put us on fish while making the experience exciting for everyone. For anyone planning a bachelor party, guys trip, family vacation, or just wanting an incredible day on the water, I can't recommend The Sushi Hunter enough. This wasn't just a fishing charter…..it was an experience we'll never forget. Huge thanks to Captain Oscar and Steven for making our bachelor party one for the books. We can't wait to come back and fish with you again!

My first time fishing in Quepos and we had some rough weather the first day but they were very accommodating and rescheduled it for later in the week. The captain Oscar was very friendly and knowledgeable to put us on the fish. We caught 8 Mahi and 2 Yellowfin Tuna. Overall a great day and great crew!
