Owner's Description

Begin your day at Herradura Beach near the exclusive Marina Los Sueños, the epicenter of world fishing. From the first greeting, feel that this is not a commercial tour, but an author's expedition. Set sail to the "deep blue" in search of the big woodpeckers or explore the coastal rock structures, depending on what the tide dictates that day. During the journey, see how the horizon is filled with life: seabirds marking the frenzy of tuna and mahi-mahi jumping in a natural choreography under the sun of Costa Rica. Learn to master your skills with precision or to wait for tension with the patience of a teacher. While you wait for the big pique, enjoy fresh local fruits, snacks, and cold drinks under the Pacific breeze in an atmosphere of total camaraderie. Whether it's releasing a majestic candle fish out of respect for the species or securing a tuna for dinner, every minute on the Mathis is a paragraph of a story that you will tell for years. Finish the day by returning to the port with a full heart and the certainty that you have sailed the authentic "Pura Vida."
