PEZ KOI
Based out of Puerto Jiménez, PEZ KOI is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.
Capt. José will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, popping, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 6 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Dolphin, Roosterfish, Tuna, Amberjack, Grouper, and Jack, depending on the season and conditions on the day.
The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. Don’t forget to buy a fishing license before the trip!
The catch you keep will be shared with the crew following the trip. Please get in touch with the captain if you have any questions.
The price of your trip also includes complimentary snacks, drinks, but you’re welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.
Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.
Book your trip now and hit the water with PEZ KOI.

Amazing Captain and Charter
If you need a private charter in Puerto Jimenez, stop searching and book Jose! Jose was responsive since booking and helped us prepare appropriately coming from the US and not knowing what to expect. He was perfectly on time, is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We were looking for rooster fish, and he put us on two giant rooster fish within an hour of getting out to the deeper water. My husband got sea sick and he was able to bring us in to shallower water and still fish for the remainder of the time! Also as a plus the sandwiches/fruit/snacks and sodas/water he brought were tasty. He also has a Bluetooth speaker for you to play music through if you choose. Couldn’t have asked for more in a fishing charter!

Jose was a great captain
Very enjoyable and successful day with Jose on Pez Koi. After catching our bait, which was fun in itself, we headed out and caught mackerel, snapper and blue jack. Coming back into the Golfito Bay, we caught a couple trophy fish including a rather large needlefish and a rooster fish. Jose was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He cleaned our snapper which made an excellent dinner. Highly recommended.

Extremely Personable and Salt of the Earth
Extreme wealth of knowledge obviously goes without saying. What stood out the most was the hospitality and simple kindness. Captain Miranda and his 1st mate could not do enough to make this a special day including the food and beverages they brought. Captain Miranda spoke very, very little English and I speak no Spanish. But we made it work and had an absolute blast. He put us on my bucket list fish (Rooster). He even sat time aside to allow me to use some of my own equipment. Great guy, great team. He’ll be the first I call when I set my return trip date.
