The Power-Duo Profile: Capt. Mike & Capt. Luis

For over 30 years, Capt. Mike Hennessy has led high-octane expeditions in the Osa Peninsula, bringing guests directly into the hunt for Marlin and Tuna. The operation’s heartbeat is Capt. Luis Enrique, the “fishiest” expert on the water. A world-class elite with multiple IGFA records and tournament wins from the Bahamas to the Pacific, Luis possesses an unmatched sixth sense for the Southern Zone.

Whether hunting monster Roosterfish inshore or tracking giant Black Marlin offshore, Luis’s expertise ensures an elite Golfito experience. From battling giants to snorkeling with feeding sailfish, we don’t just find fish—we create the adrenaline-fueled memories that bring anglers back to the Osa year after year.

    Mike’s the best guy to fish with in southern Costa Rica. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

  • Avatar Bettina Fulford ★★★★★ a year 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 year 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!
