MEET FRANK

Frank is a passionate and professional local fisherman. He offers you the opportunity to make use of the local knowledge acquired by fishing in the area of Sámara for a long time. As a native he knows the waters and great fishing spots, introducing you to a true Costa Rican fishing experience.

Frank has been fishing his whole life. It is not just a random hobby. It’s a way of life he enjoys to share with fishing enthusiasts and anglers from all over the world. Besides fishing on the boat, his favorite thing to do is surf fishing and exploring the mountains of the area. Since he used to surf a lot when he was younger he still goes to catch some waves sometimes. Frank is also a father of 2 sons and loves spending with his family.
