Meet Captain Jason Coffrin

Captain Jason Coffrin brings decades of elite navigation experience and world-record credentials to the waters off Tamarindo and Marina Flamingo. Guiding anglers along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast since 2007, his lifetime spent on the ocean has forged an intimate understanding of Guanacaste's unique marine environments. Jason’s reputation in the international sport fishing community was cemented when he achieved three world records in a single day—a testament to his mastery of light-tackle technique, oceanography, and fish behavior. Rather than resting on accolades, he applies that same level of precision, focus, and drive to every client trip, whether guiding a seasoned angler toward a line-class billfish record or introducing a complete beginner to deep sea fishing.

Beyond his technical prowess, Captain Jason is widely recognized for his calm demeanor, patient coaching, and welcoming hospitality. He approaches every charter with the belief that a great day on the water is built on clear communication, thorough preparation, and an easygoing environment where guests feel entirely comfortable. Working side-by-side with First Mate Evelio—a former 50-foot vessel captain with unmatched local deck experience—the duo forms one of the most efficient, safety-minded crews in Central America. Together, they take pride in teaching anglers of all skill levels, explaining the mechanics behind live bait selection, trolling spreads, and reading water conditions so guests walk away with both great memories and new skills.

What truly sets Captain Jason apart is his ability to read the ocean like an open map. His daily decisions are driven by real-time analysis of water clarity, thermal shifts, bait movements, and seasonal migrations across drop-offs and nearshore reefs. This deep-rooted local knowledge ensures that every decision made at the helm—from changing trolling paths to switching target species—is backed by years of hands-on data. Guests fishing with Captain Jason can rest easy knowing they are in the care of an attentive, safety-focused guide whose primary goal is providing an authentic, high-quality ocean experience grounded in expertise and integrity.

Complementing Captain Jason’s leadership is Mr Trigger, a fully restored 34-foot Blackfin Combi built specifically for high-performance sport fishing. Powered by twin 420HP Caterpillar engines capable of hitting 35 knots, the vessel provides a stable, fast ride out to offshore grounds and nearshore structures. Designed for maximum comfort in tropical climates, Mr Trigger features an air-conditioned cabin, private walk-in bathroom, heavy-duty fighting chair, custom tuna tubes, and premium tackle setups for trolling, popping, jigging, and fly fishing. Impeccably maintained and outfitted with modern electronics and safety equipment, the boat offers a comfortable, reliable platform for memorable days on the water off Guanacaste.
