Frequently Asked Questions
Where do we meet?
All charters depart and return FROM THE BEACH just to the South of El Chiringuito Resturant at 7:15am. Feel free to text or call Capt Lee upon your arrival or his crew will be there to collect you and your party promptly at 7:15am. Parking is ample and secure but please leave nothing of value in sight.
Most days there is a parking attendant who will ask for 3,000.00 colones donation for watching your vehicle (upon your return). He keeps the area safe and clean so we do support his business.
Payment for fishing?
We require a $300.00 per day deposit to secure your fishing dates. Deposits can be made via PayPal or personal check. Balance is due 7 days before the charter. Full payment via credit card is welcome.
Cancellation Policy?
We are rational and understanding people and realize stuff happens when traveling abroad. If you have a situation please contact us! DO NOT just email us the night before. PLEASE DO PHONE US.

Tipping?
Seasoned anglers know the drill but folks new to the sport do not. Tipping is customary and universal in our industry, 15-20% divided amongst the crew is standard but always tip as you see fit. Hard work should be rewarded.
