Fish Costa Rica's Central Pacific aboard La Patrona, a 36' custom sportfisher departing from Herradura Bay, next to Los Sueños Marina and just minutes from Jaco.
Led by Captain Adrian, with more than 20 years of local fishing experience, and First Mate Lizandro, La Patrona offers private charters for serious anglers, families and first-time fishermen looking for a professional and personalized day on the Pacific.
Offshore, target Blue, Black and Striped Marlin, Pacific Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi-Mahi and Wahoo. Inshore, chase Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Grouper, Snapper, Jack Crevalle and other powerful coastal species.
Depending on your target species and current conditions, the crew may use trolling, live bait, dead bait, poppers, jigs, spinning tackle and bottom-fishing techniques. Captain Adrian adapts each private charter according to bait, currents, tides, recent fishing activity and your fishing goals.
Full-day offshore trips give you the range to explore productive fishing grounds including The 26, La Esquina, Los Cráteres, La Caída and La Bolsa. Inshore trips focus on Costa Rica's rocky coastline, islands and productive structure where Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper and other inshore gamefish can be found.
Why fish aboard La Patrona? This 36' custom sportfisher combines serious fishing capability with the comfort needed for a full day on the Pacific. Cruise at 26 knots with Garmin electronics, Rupp outriggers, tuna tubes, live bait well, tournament-grade tackle, fighting chair and a private electric restroom.
Fishing licenses, tackle, bait, fresh fruit, snacks, water, sodas and beer are included. Full-day fishing charters also include lunch.
Billfish are catch-and-release, and La Patrona practices responsible sportfishing.
From chasing a bucket-list Marlin, Sailfish or Roosterfish to enjoying your family's first Costa Rica fishing adventure, Captain Adrian and Lizandro are ready to make your day aboard La Patrona one to remember.

If you're even thinking about booking a fishing charter in Costa Rica—stop looking. La Patrona is the one. From the second we stepped on the boat, everything felt dialed in. The crew was not only insanely skilled but also genuinely fun to be around—super attentive, great energy, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell right away these guys know the water. We were on fish fast. No wasted time, no guessing—just straight into the action. The captain put us exactly where we needed to be, and the crew made sure every line was perfect. Whether you're experienced or it's your first time offshore, they make it easy and exciting. The boat itself was clean, comfortable, and set up perfectly for a serious day of fishing. Top-tier gear, smooth ride, and everything you need for a full day on the water. What really sets La Patrona apart though is the experience. It didn't feel like a generic charter—it felt like we were out with a crew that genuinely wanted us to have an unforgettable day. And they delivered. We landed some incredible fish, had nonstop action, and left with stories we'll be talking about for years. If you want results, a killer crew, and a true Costa Rica fishing experience—book La Patrona. You won't regret it. 🎣

Nobody in the fleet caught fish that day, but that's fishing. Still a Pleasant experience, Boat has a large padded center console that is perfect for a nap.
Thank you so much, Mathew! We really appreciate your honest feedback and your understanding — you're absolutely right, sometimes fishing can be unpredictable, especially around the full moon. That said, we're very happy to hear you still had a pleasant experience out on the water. It's great to know you enjoyed the comfort of the boat (a good nap spot is always a plus! 😄), and we truly value your 5-star rating for the crew and overall experience. We hope to have you back again soon so we can get you on the fish next time! 🎣 Pura Vida! 🌊
