The crew of the FIRE FLY started their boating and fishing careers out of Quepos. This crew is no stranger to catching a lot of fish over the years. Team FIRE FLY has already begun catching great numbers of fish with their owner and charters. They have been running many overnight trips to the offshore sea mounts where they are raising and releasing double digit Marlin releases.
Captain Franklin Arrieta Jimenez has worked the pit and bridge since 1992. He stepped into the bridge as a captain in January of 1998.
All full day charters include all bait and tackle. The boats will provide fresh fruit, snacks, lunch and drinks consisting of water, soft drinks and local beer. The rate does not include the $15 fishing license or the crew tip. The fishing license can be purchased on the first day of fishing at the charter dock. 15-20% of the charter cost is suggested as a tip for the crew.
The boats will be ready to leave the marina at 7:00am and return around 4:00-4:30pm.
