What a great day of fishing we had with Mar 1 Sport fishing. After contacting some of the other companies in Quepos as well as looking at the reviews on here we were left wondering as the reviews for some of them definitely didn't reflect in the way they dealt with us before we even booked with them. Captain Oscar... More

Had 3 live bait fish for 9 hours of fishing?? spent half the day looking for bait fish, terribly disappointed. For 550$ for inshore fishing would expect... a... More

What a surprising review, but in this business unfortunately there are so many variables that can change a great day to a not so great day. We strive to make everyone happy but that's not always possible, as it seems to be in this case. We always tell people to base the tip on the crew and service as the... More

Went with a group of six. Though the owner communicated very well prior to the trip and the price was one of the lowest found for sportfishing in Quepos, the overall experience was not great. A surprise $25 extra charge for pickup was sprung on us at the end of the trip though the website and owner both implied transportation... More

Mark and his wife are nice people and run a good business, but don't expect him to take you out fishing. He hires local fishermen to captain the boat and run the lines. We had a fun time, great weather, caught a couple sail fish, and were glad we went. The men that took us out were nice guys that... More

This team is simply amazing in every aspect. We went on a full day offshore trip and hooked into some BIG sailfish. The whole crew, Mark and Tracey(Owners), Oscar(Captain) and Vinny(Mate) made it a fishing trip of a lifetime! Mark and Tracey were very responsive through email. Since it was just my girlfriend and I, they were willing to find... More

I recommend Mar 1 to anyone....these people are honest and knowledgable about Quepos and Costa Rican Sportfishing. Their Captain Oscar is incredibly experienced and bi lingual. They offered plenty of drinks and snacks and all in all their prices were among the best. The boat is clean and the fishing great! More

The best thing about the booking was that he was willing to work with me since I was a party of (1)... More

This was our 2nd trip to Costa Rica but our first time fishing. We found the Mar 1 Sportfishing's website and gave them a call. Mark was very helpful with all of our questions so we booked a 1/2 day inshore fishing with them. It was a great day all round. The boat was very comfortable for the 4 of... More
