Nicaragua Fishing Adventures Reviews & Testimonials
Sergio and Julio made my trip! My wife and I booked with Sergio after getting “skunked” by another charter (SJ Surf and Sport). Sergio speaks fluent English which is rare in the area. We caught large Rooster fish and giant Needle fish slow trolling around wave brakes and rocks. I’m a pretty big fisherman and I’m very hard to impress. Thank you Sergio and Julio for saving the trip.
My wife came to Nica for our five year anniversary and found Serio’s flyer and called him up. He was very responsive and even came and met us to show what he had cola ugh that day. We booked a trip with him and went out and caught 5 Rooster fish. He and Juan were great. They filleted the fish for us and took us to a local restaurant where they prepared the fish for us three ways. We had a great time.
My wife, son and I had the pleasure of going out with Sergio and his mate Julio. We’ve taken other charters the last 5 times we were in San Juan, and every time we end up with a poor experience on a dilapidated boat, catch no fish, use old broken tackle, etc. With Sergio, his boat was clean, roomy, safe, shaded, and he had modern tackle. We hooked about 15 fish, but landed 3. If you want a fun, well organized, professional trip, then Sergio is your man!
