R SPORT Fishing
R SPORT Fishing
There's a fish with your name on it in Herradura and R Sport Fishing will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Rocha is prepared to put you on fish.
These waters are known for Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Striped Marlin, Cubera Snapper, Sailfish, Red Snapper, Snook, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Roosterfish, Snowy Grouper, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before 'Fish on!'
On these trips, it's common to troll.
You'll find yourself aboard a 28' Center console with space for 5 passengers. It has outriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water.
Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
A few items to bring include a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks provided on board.

5 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on June 24, 2026 • 2 adultsTank you Captain Rocha and crew. We were not expecting mych fish, however we were pleasantly surprised that the Captain knew the current an the spots to fish. The boat was well equipped and we used both plastic and live bait. Managed to catch about 30 Dorado only keeping the larger ones and about 6 rainbow runners? on the jack family. the 1s mate cleaned and dressed the fish. And were able to tke sime to or hotel to be prepared. They provided fruit, lot of juice, water, sodas. We were allowed to bring beer and other drinks. although a small boat they do hav a small port o potty gor the female guests. Overall exceeded my expectations and best part we caught FISH 🐟.
Nathan Acuna•California, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedBest Fishing Expericence Hands Down!!
5 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on February 9, 2026 • 2 adultsWe went out with Captain Rocha and caught rooster fish, spanish mackerel, rainbow runners and needle fish. The captain was very responsive and helpful. He even helped me decide which gear to bring to surf fish on my own during my trip and also offered us a ride if we needed one. We made a plan on what we wanted to target before the trip whcih was amazing!! If you want a true Costa Rican Pura Vida experience and knock fish off your bucket list dont hesitate to book R sport fishing. I will definitely be reffering anyone and coming back myself in the future. Thank you for the experience of a life time!!
Dianne Cooper•Costa RicaMember since 20265.0VerifiedWonderful day of fishing!
Half day after noon on March 19, 2026 • 3 adultsRocha picked us up right at the beach behind the Los Suenos Marriott. Hopped right on the boat. He had ice, drinks and chips for us. Started out fishing for sailfish, it was an afternoon excursion so we knew it was not likely. We then headed out 10 more miles and saw the largest school of dolphins ever! A true sign that tuna was there. We got our rods ready and immediately hooked a tuna. It was exciting for sure! We brought in a 60 pound tuna in minutes! What a fun day. We will definitely use Rocha again and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND fishing with him!

5 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on October 9, 2025 • 3 adultsWe had an amazing time. The Captain and Crew were very friendly and kind. We caught Mahi and Yellowfin tuna. We were blessed to see many dolphins, some turtles and lots of birds. By the end of the trip we booked for the next day to enjoy Tortuga isal for a day trip. You could tell they love sharing their love for fishing with anyone who steps on board. They made everything so easy. Thank you so much for all the great memories!

Great Day Fishing with Rocha & First Mate
5 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on April 26, 2026 • 4 adultsCapt. Rocha and his 1st Mate were great and very accommodating changing rigs numerous times so we call could catch multiple fish. Overall, I don’t think we could have had a better experience with any other Jaco fishing charter.
Tom Kelly•Virginia, USMember since 20255.0Verifiedthese guys were great!
Half day after noon on December 30, 2025 • 4 adultswe had Pepe had elyin take us out and they worked hard to get us on fish. we halled in 4 fish and we missed 3 or 4 where we had fish on. the guys running the boat were great, gave us drink, snacks, cut up fresh pinnaple. etc. they were friendly and hard working. i would recommend fishing with these guys.

5 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on January 30, 2026 • 2 adultsAlthough we didn’t catch any fish we had a great time. We got to see sea turtles and sailfish.

Thank you for appreciating our work; we continue to improve every day, and this is something nice to see. Thanks again.
Entire trip was tip top. We had a first timer with us, She caught, we all caught. Yellow fin were biting, landed 6. We really appreciated all that the crew did. They busted their tails to get us on fish, spent more time than they needed to and made this a very productive and enjoyable experience. They had some snacks, but not a lot. Sodas and water, some local beer, not enough for a party but good enough. There is storage so bring more beer and sandwiches if you think you will need them. I f you want, grab a lunch bag or three to hand out to the crew. If I ever roll back into Jaco, I will definitely get ahold of these cats again!!
Every comment helps us improve our service; however, I want to clarify that if you book for the whole day, you'll get more beers More snacks and sandwiches The most important thing in this activity is that they enjoy the experience to the fullest. thanks Soo much... blessed
The captain and mates were super friendly. We went on an all day trip. They worked the entire time to help us catch something. It was a slow day at sea with all the boats out there catching nothing. The water was super clear and flat so I assume the tuna were easily spooked. The crew never gave up though. They took us bottom fishing in 400 foot water and we landed a couple of Groupers. We were very happy with the effort and the experience they provided. They were a local captain and mates. The captain suggested a place to cook our catch. It was called The Hook Up. Wow ! We had them cook the grouper in blackened bites with a mango salsa. Delish!!!! It was a perfect end to a great day. Thank you all!
