Crew: Captain James Smith grew up fishing for tarpon on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica and worked at a lodge there until 1993. He then moved to Golfito Sailfish Rancho, which was one of the first lodges targeting billfish on the Pacific Coast. Over the past 5 years, James has been a captain in Quepos. During the off season, he perfected his English while working as a mate on a charter boat in Martha’s Vineyard. James is married and has four daughters. First Mate Alberto first started working with the public as a bartender, so he’ll make sure that you always have a cold drink. He is also incredible at hooking billfish and hooked the first billfish caught on the Dragin Fly, a 350 pound blue marlin. Before working with the Dragin Fly, Alberto was a captain in Quepos. Second Mate Chela is famous for his amazing guacamole, a secret recipe that comes form his 4 years working as a chef at El Gran Escape Restaurant in Quepos. He has been a mate for 6 years in Quepos, turning down a captain’s position to join our crew.
