SERIOUS ANGLERS ONLY
Plan Your Trip Directly
with the Captain.
This isn’t a pre-packaged charter. Every trip is built around current conditions, target species, and your goals. No call centers. No OTA middlemen. Just Mike.
Bisbee’s Black & Blue Winner
On a 35′ boat against million-dollar teams. The most prestigious big-game tournament on the Pacific.
30+ Years Global Experience
From the Bahamas to the Pacific. Capt. Mike has fished — and won — everywhere serious anglers compete.
IGFA Records — Capt. Luis
Multiple world records. The most decorated captain operating in Southern Costa Rica’s Southern Zone.
3-Fishery System
Offshore. Coastal. Golfo Dulce. No other operation in Southern Costa Rica fishes all three.
WHY CONTACT MIKE FIRST
The best trips are planned through direct communication.
Conditions change daily. Fish move. Offshore is not a fixed distance — some days the bite is 15 miles out, some days it’s 60. Pre-packaged charters can’t account for that. Direct communication can.
If you’re looking for a quick “click and book” fishing trip, this probably isn’t for you. Colio runs a limited operation — one boat, two captains, zero marina chaos. Every trip is built from scratch based on what the ocean is doing that week.
WHY THIS FISHERY IS DIFFERENT
- No 40-boat fleet chasing the same birds
- No marina chaos or shared dock confusion
- Captain reads birds, bait, and currents — not a schedule
- 3 fisheries: Offshore, Coastal, Golfo Dulce — no other operation runs all three
- Southern Costa Rica is what Cabo was 40 years ago — untouched and producing
