Capt. Mike Hennessy

Mike Hennessy is a renowned, globe-trotting game fishing expert whose skills span across offshore, inshore, fly, and freshwater fishing.
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. We also don’t mind stopping and swimming with dolphins as 200lb tuna fly by eating a bait ball.

We are about the stoke, the experience and the wonder that Costa Rica brings to make our memories. Fish counts mean nothing and our crew’s ego does not exist – we are here for pure fun and catching epic fish with our friends.

Capt. Luis Enrique

His team has won the White Marlin Open, and achieved many other accomplishments chasing striped marlin for IGFA records and awards. We are so honored to have him
back running Colio Sportfishing.

What separates Capt. Luis is his never ending quest to keep the boat in top shape for the safety and comfort of our guests, at the same time catching a ton of fish while having the best time ever. Come fish with Capt. Luis and meet your new fishing friend and family in
Costa Rica.

I consider Capt. Luis Enrique is one of the best friends and captains I have ever fished with around then world. Born and raised in Puerto Jimenez, Costa Rica, Luis has been chasing fish since he could crawl.

His training started with me over 30 years ago as one of the first charter boats out of Puerto Jimenez.

Since those magical days, Luis has traveled the world on some of the most famous private tournament marlin sportfishers up to 70’.
