Costa Rica charter boat?

**cajon pepper** · #1 04-03-2012, 12:47 PM

My family and I will be staying near Manuel Antonio and Samara in June 2012. I have 2 boys and a girl and wanting to put them on their first billfish and maybe a rooster fish. Just wondering if any one out there had any recomendations for a good charter boat. Thanks for the help.

The Frenzy boats have been very good in the past. There are a couple of boats on this forum that are good as well, I am sure they will chime in.

Well, I'll be the first to chime in!!! I'd love to do the trip! Here's a couple pictures from last June.

This may be off topic a bit, but why is the sailfish in the pic so dark colored? This seems to be kinda common with fish pics from Costa Rica, unless i'm just imagining things. Seems like the sails in the gulf or florida atlantic coast are more brilliant blue color, with real well defined black stripes. Sorry to jack the thread, just wondered.

Put em back in the water and revive them, the color will return.

The sails are generally darker colored down there. I guess it could be diet? They will still light up when excited.

I think it's my camera or something. Here is a picture a customer sent me and it looks a lot better. it's like my camera picks up the fish slime or something..
