Meet boat owner Ben at marina while looking at the boats in the harbor and ask if he was a charter boat captain and was willing to go out on short notice and he agreed. Booked private charter with brother to go trolling for sailfish and marlin on the Good Day. Ben’s a true mariner he actual goes out on the boat with you and likes his job. He has a professional crew that can handle themselves well at sea. We had a great start to the day with sunshine and calm seas on our way out to the grounds. Half way out threw out some lines and ended up catching tuna in large school surrounded by dolphins while trolling around the reef we hooked into a sailfish that gave one hell a fight before landing it. Ben is a very energetic guy that likes to take lots of pictures and videos of each trip. He has all the equipment and fishing gear needed to go out, just show up and be ready to have some real fun.

We reserved our boat by internet and telephone to match our Windstar cruise timing. It came off without a hitch. My wife and I caught fish all day, the last one a sailfish and reason I came. We were able to provide the Windstar and it’s 150 passengers with enough tuna and Mahi Mahi for several fabulous meals. If you are looking experience, integrity, and talent, Jackpot will mean a successful day of Costa Rica fishing.

Ben and his crew were very knowledgeable and patient with our skill level.  We booked a full day trip, the crew put us on fish straight away.  They took great care of us, making sure we had plenty to eat and drink all day. We reeled in so many fish that our arms are sore. Ben was kind enough to write down some great places to visit while we are here.  We can’t wait to come back to Jackpot Sport fishing next year.

Very happy to endorse Benn Gilmour and Jackpot Sport Fishing. Benn worked tirelessly on our behalf to tailor the trip to our specific angling and wildlife photography needs. An unforgettable experience.  If you’re thinking of, or planning an overseas fishing expedition somewhere later this year or next year, drop him an email…..you won’t be disappointed.

First I want to say that the customer service we received was top shelf/world class. We are mid- late 50’s with physical chalanges. Benn and crew were attentive, informative and went to great lengths to accommodate 2 ladies and one man All never having any deep sea fishing experience.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful
