“What an absolutely incredible day on The Carolina Gentleman with Skipper Gentry and his crew. We took our son for sail fishing for his 13th birthday and we could not have asked for a better experience. The fishing, the crew, the food, the drinks, everything was fantastic. I would highly recommend Skipper Gentry and The Carolina Gentleman if you are looking for a fishing trip of a lifetime.”

The boat is amazing and very comfortable! Nice cool ac to get away from the heat while you wait for bites. Staff are friendly and very accommodating. They even cook you a hot homemade lunch which was delicious all 3 days! If you’re looking to catch some fish in beautiful Costa Rica we would highly recommend Skipper and the Carolina Gentleman!

“Amazing experience with Carolina Gentleman! Professional, family friendly crew, beautiful boat, and incredible fishing. They went above and beyond to make it a memorable day on the water. We caught at least seven sailfish!
They served us a delicious hot meal for lunch (pulled pork, coleslaw and homemade chips - it was excellent. Our son said it was the best meal on our vacation).

Fishing with these guys was one of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip, highly recommend. We will be back!
