If you’re looking for a great and affordable fishing experience in Jaco, Costa Rica, then look no further than Aguja Sport Fishing. Discover the riches on offer just a stone’s throw from shore in the Pacific, as you go after some huge and delicious fish.
Who better to show you these waters than a local guide? Captain Alejandro is just that guy. After spending some time in the US where he learned his impeccable English, he returned home to fish his native waters. A passionate fisherman, he promises to take you to the best spots, showing you the best that Jaco has to offer.
The 23’ Liston center console is perfect for fishing. Boasting plenty of space for up to 6 guests, you’ll have the benefit of 360 degree views throughout. Take cover under the shade, or lay out in the sun and catch the rays – everything is possible. Capt. Alejandro and his first mate will provide plenty of snacks and drinks, so settle in for a smooth ride out to sea.
Using the latest rods and reels, you’ll try your hand at bottom fishing the reefs, while also trolling the open waters. Start your day by catching your own bait, before heading out and witnessing first-hand the thrilling fishing opportunities on offer in Costa Rica.
Fishing here is no mean feat. Despite some monster fish coming right up close to shore, you’ll need to use all your strength to hook ‘em aboard. Get ready for some rod-bending action as you go up against Snappers, Groupers, Jacks, Barracuda, and even such beauties as Tuna and Sailfish. Try to fill the boat with these delicious creatures and head back to shore with a treat ahead of you.
Let your captain know how far offshore you’d like to go, and he’ll try his best to accommodate your wishes. At the end of the day, the first mate will even clean and fillet your catch for you, so you should bring a tip as a token of thanks. Everything else you need will be waiting for you on board. Let Aguja Sport Fishing take you on the trip of a lifetime to the Pacific!

Full Day Trip
Alejandro and his crew were great! There was more than enough room for the three of us in our party to comfortably fish. We were able to catch all the grouper and snapper we wanted and needed so that we could have a fresh fish dinner for our group of 10 friends. We only kept what we needed for the dinner, throwing back a lot of fish. I'll book the same trip when we go back. Thanks for a great day!

Alejandro and his crew were amazing, they took very good care of our group. Very experienced, accommodating and knew where to go. We caught a good amount of Yellowfin tuna that fed us the entire trip. I highly recommend booking with Alejandro.

We had a great time on the water with the Alejandro and Choto. Did an 8 hour deep sea excursion, but weren't able to get the Tuna or big fish we wanted. We did get other fish so we had a bunch to take home. It was a beautiful day out on the water. Captain and first mate are extremely knowledgeable on fishing. We trolled and used poles off and on during the day. They work very hard on getting you the fish you'd like.
