We had an amazing day on Reel Freedom. I’ve fished out of Quepos numerous times and our entire group thought Reel Freedom, Captain Bill and his team ran a spectacular boat. We had a rather large group of friends and all 7 of us caught sailfish – ended up landing 11 overall. Not only did Bill put us on the fish but his guys were great at keeping everyone engaged. The equipment was top notch and the boat was perfect for a larger group. Lunch was excellent !! I would absolutely go fishing with this crew when I am in Quepos and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to catch fish during their stay in Quepos!

Stan and his crew are 1st class! These guys know what they are doing. So impressive! They served healthy fresh fruit, amazing beef, brisket, sandwiches, fresh guacamole, and salsa, just AMAZING….Everything! I would highly recommend this charter! We caught everything on our list, swordfish, tuna, and mahi! It was a perfect day!

Stan and his crew were friendly, welcoming and hospitable from the second we arrived at the marina. We caught a total of 12 sailfish and had an absolute blast all day. By far the best lunch I’ve ever had on a charter boat, they brought us brisket sandwiches, salads and Texas Twinkies from the best local restaurant Butchers Block I was absolutely stunned by how good it was. Basically I felt as if I was treated like a king for the day and was reeling in fish what felt like half the time. Absolutely phenomenal experience!!!!
