Great Day on the Water
Well equipped solid boat. Fun experienced crew. Not the best time of year but still one of two Sailfish and plenty of Snapper and Grouper for the table. A worthwhile day out
via Tripadvisor
Good crew and fishing but not fancy and no air conditioning.
Good captain and crew. Very nice people. But the online pictures of the boat are not accurate. And there is No air conditioning! It’s been broken for awhile yet they still advertise it. It was extremely hot. One very basic sandwich for lunch. We did catch one sailfish, one mahi mahi , one rainbow running one yellow tail so pretty good! Viator would only give a 10% refund even though we only booked this boat as it said it had air conditioning.

Fun in Costa Rica fishing.
The crew was great and we caught several fish. I would definitely recommend them.

Show Us The Fish!!!
The guides were very friendly and great at getting us onto the fish. We caught mahi mahi, sailfish, red snapper and yellow fin tuna. It was a great day and we would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fishing.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! 🎣🌊 We're thrilled to hear you had such a successful day aboard our 35' Cabo Express! Catching mahi-mahi, sailfish, red snapper, and yellowfin tuna in a single trip is an incredible accomplishment, and we're so glad our crew helped put you on the fish. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to our guides, they'll be happy to know they made your experience memorable. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Tamarindo for another action-packed day on the water. Until next time, tight lines! 🤙🐟

Half day fishing
We had an absolutely incredible experience on our private fishing charter in Costa Rica. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the captain David and crew were outstanding—professional, attentive, and genuinely great with our kids, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable for our family. They had everything perfectly prepared and ready to go, with drinks and snacks on board and a smooth, on-time departure. The crew worked hard the entire trip, constantly adjusting and making sure we had the best chance at success. We were able to jig and troll, which kept things exciting and hands-on. And the fishing did not disappoint—we caught grouper, tilefish, and the highlight of the day: an incredible sailfish! Watching that sailfish come in was something we’ll never forget. This was more than just a fishing trip—it was a full experience. If you’re considering a charter in Costa Rica, this is the one you want. Highly recommend
Response from the operator: Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review! 🙌 It truly means a lot to us. We’re so happy you and your family had such a great time on your private fishing charter in Tamarindo with David and the crew. Creating a safe, fun, and memorable experience for families, especially with kids on board, is something we really take pride in, so it’s amazing to hear that stood out to you. From jigging to trolling, we always aim to keep things hands-on and exciting! And what a day on the water… grouper, tilefish, and a sailfish, that’s a dream fishing trip in Costa Rica 🎣🔥 Watching a sailfish is always unforgettable! Thank you again for choosing our locally owned Tamarindo fishing charter. We’d love to have you back on board anytime! 🚤

Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.
How much does Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express cost?
+
Prices start at $1,375 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tamarindo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tamarindo is not rushed.
Is Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tamarindo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tamarindo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tamarindo and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tamarindo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tamarindo?
+
On Outty we rank every Tamarindo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Surf Lesson in Tamarindo - Stand Up or Your Money Back!, Sunset Catamaran & Snorkeling Tour in Playa Flamingo, Fundive Catalina Islands (2 dives, only for certified divers). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tamarindo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tamarindo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express?
+
Included: Lunch; Full Fishing Equipment; Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; and Snacks. Not included: Swimsuit; Fishing Long Sleeve Shirt; and Sunscreen. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express?
+
Infront of El Chiringuito restaurant on the beach. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 35' Cabo Express offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
