Real experiences from anglers who fished with Arcos del Pacífico
Lisa Puffer
“We had a fabulous experience! My husband and I went on a private full day charter with Daniel and Captain Max. My goal was to catch a marlin, and they pulled out all the stops. We caught several tuna, ate some fresh out of the water, and then before the end of the day had a great fight pulling in our first Marlin. It was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica!”
