If you want to add some true local flair to your Costa Rica experience, then come aboard The Brother Alex Tour charters in Jaco, and get ready to see how these fishermen reel ‘em in! Captains Ere Calderón Perez, Alexis Lopez, and his brother, Alexander grew up here on the ocean, so it’s fair to say they know these waters like the backs of their own hands. Get ready to combine some incredible angling action with stunning scenery and plenty of relaxation!

Your comfort is a top priority to both captains, so get ready for a journey on board their truly impressive vessel. She’s a 30’ Costa Rica Mako center console, and can comfortably accommodate up to 5 guests. On board, you’ll find a private toilet, and a spacious deck that offers plenty of room for chilling out. She’s equipped with all of the latest navigational and safety gear, including life vests for little ones – so bring the whole family along!

You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to the species on offer – no matter how far offshore you travel, you’ll have the chance to hook a wide variety of fish, including Red Snapper, different Grouper, Amberjack, Barracuda, and world-famous big game superstars such as Mahi Mahi and Blue Marlin. All this fishing is hungry work, so your trip also includes snacks and drinks. You can sip a beer as you troll or jig for the catch of a lifetime! Want to snorkel, too? Just let your captain know!

Your captains will ensure you’re decked out with top-quality Shimano rods and reels, as well as tackle, bait, and a fishing license. Come aboard The Brother Alex Tour and see how the locals do it!

Half Day Trip on September 25, 20251 adult
i went on a solo fishing trip yesterday with captain carlos and cristian mate. they made my experience unforgettable! cristian was very nice and helpful. as soon as i got on the boat i told him that i wanted to catch a rooster fish, and indeed we did within the first hour! captain carlos was great as well. We also saw a mama and baby humpback whale and that just made the experience even better! next time im in Costa Rica i will book with them again! so much fun!

Full Day Trip – Trolling on August 29, 20256 adults
Carlos and Jose were excellent at putting us on some fish! We caught 5 yellowfin Tuna, 1 wahoo and had a marlin on the line but he got away. We caught more black tuna than we can count but threw them back. Such a great day of continously fighting fish! Boat was equipped with a bathroom and there was cold beer and water/soda, sandwiches and fresh fruit. Jose fillet our catch, made some quick sashimi to snack on and bagged the rest for us. I would highly recommend!

Half day inshore tríps am on January 5, 20265 adults
Overall good experience, a group of 5 of us went out and booked a half day inshore trip as some of the group members did not like the idea of being that far offshore, when we arrived we were told we were going to be going offshore, we just figured that it was due to the slow season for inshore fishing and went with it. Besides that after roughly a hour boat ride out we started trolling! The crew was amazing, we saw some dolphins and got onto 1 large sailfish! The crew provided a cooler full of soft drinks, water and beer as well as a fresh pineapple! I understand time of year, and it's called fishing not catching, would have been nice to get onto more fish but we understand that's how it works, I would recommend this trip.

Alot of action, but no fish
Troling mahi mahi on March 24, 20254 adults
We booked a 5 hour trolling session. Erick and Capt. Carlos did their best to put us on some fosh, but it just wasn't biting! 7-8 fish ran off with our bait, but none took the hook - that's fishing, that's life. Back on the beach, the other crews weren't any luckier than us. Very serviable and capable crew, decent boat, wouldn't hesitate to book them again. We unhooked a sailfish that was stuck in a poacher trap. saw many dolphins, had excellent pinapple and refreshments -overall, a great day on the water.
