The Brother Alex Tour
The Brother Alex Tour
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!

Full Day Trip – Trolling
Catching dinner!
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!

Amazing Fishing Trip!
I had an incredible time on this fishing trip! From start to finish, everything was excellent. The crew was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful, ensuring we had a smooth and enjoyable experience. The highlight, of course, was catching so many fish! It was thrilling and made the day even more memorable. The boat was well-equipped, comfortable, and perfect for a day on the water. Overall, we had a fantastic day, filled with fun, excitement, and great memories. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a top-notch fishing experience. I can't wait to go again!

Great day of fishing
These guys were great. We caught a big sailfish, 5 yellow fin, 6 black fin and 1 small mahi mahi. Plenty of drinks and great pineapple. Mahi mahi was filetted nicely and we ate like kings. I recommend Alex and his crew. His price can't be beat! Sailfish pics won't upload for some reason.

Alot of action, but no fish
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.
