Coyote Sportfishing
Identity Verified
Coyote Sportfishing offers private fishing trips out of Tamarindo, Costa Rica with Captain Frank Berrocal, a lifelong local who has spent decades working these waters. Born and raised in Tamarindo, Captain Frank has been guiding anglers since the early 1990s. His deep knowledge of the Guanacaste coastline, offshore structure, and seasonal fish patterns allows him to adapt each trip based on conditions and guest goals. After spending several years fishing in the United States and learning English, he returned home and built a charter focused on professionalism, safety, and personalized service.
Fishing out of Tamarindo places you close to productive Northern Pacific waters known for consistent action throughout the year. Depending on the season, trips may target Black and Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Snapper, and the well-known Roosterfish that patrol the coastline. Captain Frank welcomes anglers of all skill levels, from families and beginners to experienced offshore fishermen. He takes time to explain techniques, assist with gear, and make sure everyone onboard feels comfortable and involved.
You’ll fish aboard the Coyote Tres, a 35-foot Carolina Classic built for offshore performance and comfort. Powered by twin Cummins engines, the boat cruises efficiently and gets you to the fishing grounds quickly. The vessel features an air-conditioned cabin, a clean onboard toilet, and ample space to relax between lines in the water. Modern electronics, a fighting chair, quality tackle, and Starlink high-speed Wi-Fi are all part of the setup, allowing guests to focus on fishing while staying connected offshore.
Captain Frank’s approach goes beyond putting fish in the spread. He focuses on creating a relaxed, enjoyable day where guests feel well cared for from start to finish. After the trip, Tamarindo offers a variety of restaurants and local spots to unwind and enjoy the coastal atmosphere. With over 30 years of experience and strong ties to the community, Captain Frank continues to share his passion for the ocean while delivering private charters that are paced to match each group’s goals for the day.
