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!

Great fishing trip

Bottom fish or trolling pm on February 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

We had an excellent time fishing. There was my husband and myself, our son and his wife, and their two children 8 & 4. Our 8 year-old grandson has talked about fishing for at least two years so our main goal was for him to catch a fish. He first caught a very small blackfin tuna followed by a medium tuna (still small) and then he caught a mackerel, big enough to take to the restaurant across the street and cook up for him. It would have been nice to catch more fish, but - Mission accomplished. Our grandson caught some fish. Deago was really wonderful. Our 4 year-old granddaughter was sick and he doused towels with cold water to put on her. I would recommend this company.

Half day inshore tríps am on January 5, 2026 • 5 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.

Half Day Trip on September 25, 2025 • 1 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, 2025 • 6 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!
