What makes Dale Dagger different?

First and foremost. Boats. Our fleet is far superior to the crafts our competitors use. Another thing to note is that we are 20 steps from the boats. No driving for 30 minutes to get to the boat. We can have you on waves in 7 minutes. You also have unlimited use of the boats and no schedule to follow. You surf when you want where you want everyday.

Second is that Dale has spent more years surfing this coast than anyone. If it breaks, Dale knows when.

 

All trips include airport transfers and daily surf trips on either of our flagship boats, the Masayita 2, or Michelle, our speedy Panga set up specifically for surfing. We have the most experienced crew and best outfitted fleet in Hidden Bay area. We also have our "Dale Made" outrigger canoe and a backup boat La Gaviota.

Our captains have fished these waters long before surfers came looking for waves, and know the Nicaragua pacific better than the Dorado jumping in the bay.

 

And the clients say...

Dale,

Thank you for creating your surf lodge and crew. Our week visiting your land and ocean was easily the greatest week of my life. Special memories with my boys, friends and new friends, will last lifetimes. Happy, playful, exciting, unpredictable, funny & friendly…all describe the experience.

I applaud you for having the foresight to develop this special experience which starts with Kassidy & India. I can’t compliment them enough. There is no doubt that our trip became a legend because of their gracious handling of our gang of misfits. They are special…I can’t imagine how it would have worked without them.

I wish you continued success. We look forward to visiting again. We are spreading the word of your slice of heaven.

Thank you!

Bob

Dear Kassidy,
It was a pleasure meeting you,
My vacation was perfect,I had a great time and your staff was very nice to me.
I really want to tell you about David, In my opinion.... what a great surfer & great boat
man he is to your staff, I have been to other camps before and the guides have got
attitude, and you can tell David really puts his heart into making sure that he wants you to learn and be careful where you surf, he explains the bottom of the surf breaks, the tides, the type of wave and is very cautious about safety, I felt very impressed on his polite mannerism, David has a great soul, and rips on surfing.
Your staff is very polite and made my vacation a great experience, Nica was very
polite also and made me feel very special.
I hope to see you soon again,

Last of all it was great to meet Mr.President, Dale, he opened up to me at the end at that I know was a rare moment... he is a Wise funny character with a unusual personality, but cool.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Respectfully Yours,

Bernie K
