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 on June 19, 20264 adults

Despite a cloudy start, we ended up having an incredible day on the water. We caught fish long after we were tired of reeling them in—tuna, mahi-mahi, trout, and more. We landed over seven mahi-mahi and more than 30 fish overall, releasing many and still bringing home plenty for the weekend. The crew was patient, professional, and made the experience exciting from start to finish. They even filleted and bagged all of our fish for us. I've been on fishing charters in several countries, and this was easily one of the best charter experiences I've ever had. Highly recommended.

Reported catch:
Yellowfin Tuna
Skipjack Tuna
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Response from Captain

BEST OUTFITTER IN COSTA RICA
Full Day Trip on June 3, 20266 adults

The #1 goal when booking our trip was catching fish and Alejandro and his crew did not disappoint. With the odds stacked against us, (rainy season, storms to the left & right) Alejandro had us on fish within the first 30 minutes. First a mackerel, then bonita followed by a plethora of Mahi. Alejandro and his team put on a clinic on how to catch fish. During our trip we landed 20+ fish, catching nearly every species that Costa Rica had to offer. Alejandro even hooked us on the elusive wahoo & sailfish. Sadly we were unable to land them but getting to fight them and watching them jump was a thing of beauty. If you are looking for an outfit who will do whatever it takes to put you on fish look no further!

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Spanish Mackerel
Sailfish
Yellowfin Tuna
Response from Captain

Dalton, Thank you guys so much for being a good sport and always having a positive vibe despite the tough weather. It is really rewarding for us to put our clients on fish and luckily it was a very active fishing day. Until next time my friend, pura vida and tight lines!

Amazing family trip

We are in Costa Rica as a family for the first time. Family of 4 and we decided to go fishing. Alejandro and his mate Chopa were friendly, informative and got us on the fish! Alejandro speaks perfect English and we talked about fishing, family and the beauty of Costa Rica. We did the half day trip and we brought in 2 yellowfin, 3 mahi mahi, 2 mackeral and a 'Bonita' tuna. Would absolutely recommend Alejandro and his boat!

Dream Fish
Full Day Trip on May 21, 20264 adults

Are in CR for a special trip for my son who is graduating. Me and my three boys went out for a full day offshore. Our two main targets were Mahi and Sailfish. My son who was graduating has always wanted to catch a self fish. We got some beautiful Mahi, a bunch of Rainbow Runner (the most delicious fish I've ever eaten) and to top it off, my son won an 18 minute fight with a a spirited Sailfish!
