Mark SydneyCosta Rica vacations for non-anglers are handled by Richard Krug’s long-time associate Mark Sydney, who has lived in Costa Rica for 17 years, and has 15 years experience putting together custom travel arrangements for Costa Rica’s Travel Web, Fish Costa Rica, American Sportfishing,Real Estate in Costa Rica and Costa Rica Fishing.

Cat CruiseSpeaking French, Spanish, Russian (and of course English) and a smattering of Italian and German, plus some street Arabic, Hungarian and Finnish not acceptable in ‘proper’ circles, Mark’s skills and experience enable him to specialize in arrangingcustom travel vacations and tourist packages with private transportation if desired in the upper and high-end categories.

Not all tourists fish, and not all anglers fishing in Costa Rica spend each day going after sails, marlin, dorado, roosters, tarpon and snook. They also go on one-day tours like ziplining, white water river rafting, scuba diving and visit some of Costa Rica’s internationally-acclaimed ecological reserves and wildlife sactuaries. Mark will put together a custom itinerary for you featuring the country’s finest hotels and resorts at prices you will find attractive.
