About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Gabriels and prepare for a spearfishing extravaganza! With access to the Gulf of Nicoya, the Pacific Ocean and plenty of inshore bays, it's no wonder that Jaco is one of the top fishing spots in Costa Rica. You'll be diving in the beautiful offshore waters to spear some picture-worthy fish with this excursion.

On this 8-hour trip, Captain Gabriels will take you to offshore fishing hotspots while you jump out and try your hand at spearing some exciting species such as Cubera Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper and Yellowfin Tuna. Some spearfishing experience is recommended, but Captain Gabriels is happy to instruct anglers of any skill level!

You’ll be fishing aboard a custom 27' center console that can hold up to 6 guests. Powered by twin 140 HP Suzuki engines, no hot spot will be off the table with this vessel! She comes complete with GPS, Fishfinder, Snorkeling Equipment, Live Bait Well, Multimedia System, Outriggers, Tuna Tubes, Spearfishing Equipment, and an Ice Box to store your catches.

When it comes to amenities, Captain Gabriels spares no expense. In addition to top-quality Penn fishing gear, your trip includes fishing licenses, snacks, drinks, and fish cleaning. If you reel in the catch of a lifetime, Captain Gabriels can even arrange for your fish to be mounted by Gray Taxidermy, the best in the biz.

Trip: Half Day Offshore

Should have been much better. The trip was scheduled for 8a-1p. We got started about 830a. We caught the first and only fish about 2 hours in. We trolled for another hour; no fish. We dropped our lines for about 30 minutes, then one of the two engines stopped running. The fishing ended there. We got back to shore about 3p after a slow ride back. Capt Adv arranged for a $200 discount to accommodate...

Trip: Half Day Offshore

Response from Captain Experiences:
Hi Xolani, I'm so sorry that this trip was a let down. I know that a refund doesn't make up for losing out on a day of fishing, but I hope you will consider trying again in the future. Give us a ring and we would be happy to extend a discount on a future trip.
