Fishing Costa
Rica Experts FAQ
DO I HAVE TO MAKE A RESERVATION TO FISH
ON YOUR BOATS?
We strongly suggest that you make an advance
reservation, as our boats fill up often. Making a reservation guarantees your
space on the trip. You may "walk-in" for any trip without a reservation,
however we cannot guarantee there will be space available.
HOW FAR
AHEAD SHOULD I MAKE A RESERVATION? HOW DO I MAKE A RESERVATION?
The
further ahead of time the better. On our 5 hour ½ day trips, spots are
first come first served as we board. On our 10 hour all day/ 12 hour extended /
and 34 hour overnight trips, our fishing spots are assigned at the time you
make your reservation. The further ahead you reserve, the better choice of
remaining spots you will have.
To make a reservation, simply
call our reservation center at Toll Free 800-213-7091. Let us know which trip
you would like to fish on, and what date you would like to go. One of our
reservation specialists will request several pieces of information from you and
enter your reservation into our computerized reservations system. You will need
a Visa or MasterCard to hold your reservation. Your card WILL NOT be charged at
the time of reservation. If you wish to pay with your credit card on the day of
your trip, please have it with you when you arrive.
WHAT IS YOUR
CANCELLATION POLICY?
½ day trip / 10-hour or 12-hour trips. No
later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled date and departure time.
34
hour overnight trips. No later than 48 hours prior to the scheduled date and
departure time.
If you cancel any time after the allotted time period,
you will be charged a late cancellation penalty per person, as follows:
- ½ Day - $15.00 per
person
- 10-hour or 12 hour all day-
$25.00 per person
- 34 - hour overnight - $60.00
per person
Should Fishing Costa Rica
Experts cancel any trip due to weather or mechanical reasons, no penalty will
be charged.
WHAT KIND OF FISH CAN I CATCH ON YOUR TRIPS?

IS FOOD & DRINK AVAILABLE ON THE
BOATS?
YES. Our boats offer a full service cash galley and grill with a
complete Breakfast & Lunch menu, very reasonably priced. Your on-board cook
will prepare your food fresh to order. Soft drinks, beer, coffee/tea, candy,
snacks are also available through the galley. Most passengers prefer to eat and
drink from our galley as it eliminates the need to have to pack a
cooler.
DOES MY FARE INCLUDE BAIT?
YES. On our ½ day
trips, we provide cut squid as bait. On our 10-hour, 12-hour, and 34 hour
overnight trips, we provide you with Cut Squid & Sardines with your ticket.
We also sell optional live bait (Pinfish) at our full service bait & tackle
store on the dock. Live bait is $9.00 per dozen. We suggest 1-2 dozen per
person on the all day and 12 hour trips, and 2-3 dozen per person on the 34
hour overnight trip. Live bait must be reserved no later than 48 hours prior to
departure. We suggest reserving live bait at the same time you book your trip.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANY DEAD BAIT OF MY OWN?
NO. We will
provide you with Spanish Sardines and Squid. You may bring other types of
frozen bait if you choose, but you really don't have to. Spanish Sardines,
Squid, and Live Bait work the best out there, where we fish.
DO I
NEED A FISHING LICENSE TO FISH ON YOUR BOATS?
NO. You are covered under
our boats recreational fishing license.
CAN I BRING A COOLER WITH
FOOD AND DRINK?
Yes. You may bring up to 1 cooler per person up to
48-50 quarts in size. No larger. NO glass containers of any kind. ( Soft
drinks, condiments, etc.) must be in plastic containers.
CAN I BRING
MY OWN BEER OR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES?
NO. There is NO CARRY ON alcoholic
beverages permitted on board. The State of Florida has required us to carry a
Beer & Wine license on board our vessels. We are able to sell beer under
this license, however just like a bar, we can not allow you to bring your own
in. We apologize for this as it is a State regulation, and certainly not a
Hubbard's one.
To avoid an uncomfortable situation at the dock for both
of us, please do not attempt to sneak any alcoholic beverages aboard. All
coolers and gear are thoroughly searched prior to boarding. We've seen all the
tricks, so again, please cooperate with this policy.
WHAT HAPPENS TO
THE FISH I CATCH DURING THE TRIP?
When you catch your first fish, the
mates will assign you a stringer number. Throughout the trip, your fish will go
on that stringer number and held in our Iced Fish Boxes.
At the end of
the trip, the mates will unload the fish boxes onto the deck. They will then
call out stringer numbers at which time you will claim your fish when you hear
your number called.
DO YOU OFFER AIRPORT TRANSFER?
Yes, after
passing through Immigration you will be met by a Fishing Costa Rica Experts
representative.
