Justin DeBoom
Originally from Florida, I have lived, traveled and fished throughout Costa Rica and Central America for the past decade. After fishing all over this amazing area from coast to coast and competing in all the major tournaments here, I now take great pride in helping other anglers plan one of a kind world class fishing adventures.
Sebastian Rojas
I’m a Costa Rican angler with a lifelong passion for fishing, raised casting lines in the rivers of northern Costa Rica, home to species like snook, machaca, mojarra, and guapote. For the past 4 years, I’ve worked full-time in sportfishing, exploring both inshore and offshore waters. Today, I help travelers experience Costa Rica’s world-renowned fishing through fully customized packages. Whether you’re after trophy marlin or wild river action, I’ll make it happen. Let’s fish where it matters.

Ulrik Oldenburg
A Danish citizen with deep roots in Costa Rica, I’ve been fishing these waters since the age of 11. Raised between Costa Rica and the United States, I developed a lifelong passion for the ocean and the outdoors. I completed my high school education in Costa Rica before earning my degree from Texas A&M University. Since the 1980s, Costa Rica has been home—on and off—and for the past 25 years, I’ve made it my permanent base. With decades of experience on the water, I bring local knowledge, international perspective, and a genuine love for the sport of fishing.

Matthew Briscoe
I grew up in rural Ohio, fishing from the moment I could hold a rod. Long summer days were spent casting lines into the pond on our property, dreaming of one day becoming a professional fisherman. That passion followed me to college, where I earned degrees in Fish and Wildlife Biology and Environmental Science—while, of course, continuing to fish every chance I got. Since moving to Costa Rica, I’ve traveled the country extensively and fished all along the Pacific Coast and the Northeastern Caribbean. If you’re looking for world-class fishing, it simply doesn’t get much better than Costa Rica. I can’t wait to help you plan the fishing trip of a lifetime!
