This was my dream fishing platform for Costa Rica – Mike Hennessy

Why Colio Sportfishing

“Come fish with us for a unique experience and become part of our family at Colio Sportfishing!”

Capt. Mike Hennessy

Capt. Mike Hennessy has been fishing these waters for over 30 years with his Captains and mates fishing a style that brings our guests into the whole process from rigging the baits to hooking your own fish.

Some days after we catch some monster fish everyone’s arms are sore we will take a break and jump in a bait ball with mask and snorkels to watch huge tuna and Sailfish feeding all around you. The most incredible experience to watch in 85* water and calm seas. Adrenaline will be flowing!

    Thanks for great fishing and lots of laughs 😊
    Mike’s the best guy to fish with in southern Costa Rica. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

  • Avatar Bettina Fulford ★★★★★ 2 months ago
    Amazing time!!! We got tuna, rooster, fish, Marlin, snapper. I have never caught that many fish on one boat before it was amazing! Captain was so professional and extremely safe and very knowledgeable of the area. Everything was taken … More care of.
    Definitely going back 👍

  • Avatar Andy Pruter ★★★★★ a month ago
    Fishing on the Colio in next level! The knowledge of captain and crew is enough on its own but combined with state of the art electronics elevates the success rate to the ridiculous.
    Helpful and patient with some of our less experienced
    … More group ensured smiles and high fives. Good humor and the ability to quickly change tactics made for an unforgettable fishing trip for my family.
    We will be back for more!
