Captain (Luis) was super experienced, friendly and took care of us.  Hooked into a large mahi mahi and they helped me guide in the 50lb fish with ease (but I was sweating).
We had a few other hookups (including a marlin) but didn’t get them in

If I’m ever in the area again, I’m booking Luis and his mates!

I am an avid angler so I am usually very critical on these trips.  Luis and Sandi worked very hard to make the trip perfect and had extreme attention to detail.  Luis flat out knows how to catch them.  His equipment is in good shape and well maintained.  Sandi kept the boat spotless and orderly.  Its not a big boat so know that going in but for 2 people its perfect.  He only goes a few miles out and he knows where to go.  We were in fish most of the day.  We boated 8 Durado and missed another 5, had a giant marlin on and got it to the boat before it pulled off.  Had two other sailfish on the bait but no hookup.  He even had some really good sandwiches to eat.  We took some of our meat to the restaurant next to the pickup spot and they cooked it for us.  Great meal.  If i come back I will definitely book Luis again.  Whatever is biting he knows where they are at and how to catch them.

If you are traveling to Playa Flamingo or anywhere near the Tamarindo area, El Gato III, Luis and his wife are who you want setting lines in the water. We drove in from Playa Grande, took off promptly at 7am and returned just after 12 pm. Luis’ knowledge helped our crew pull in 3 dorado and a big sailfish. They are extremely friendly and fun to fish with and we would absolutely recommend his charter.
