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 adults

Tank 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 🐟.

Best Fishing Expericence Hands Down!!
5 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on February 9, 2026 • 2 adults

We 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!!

Happy on the High Seas
5 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on January 11, 2026 • 4 adults

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!!

Wonderful day of fishing!
Half day after noon on March 19, 2026 • 3 adults

Rocha 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!

Great Trip
5 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on March 18, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

Son really wanted to catch a sail fish. Started out the morning catching mahi. Guys jumped 4 sail fish for us, but we couldn't stay hooked up. Was an awesome experience and the guys did there best to give us what we came for, but that's why they call it fishing. Awesome Trip overall. Great value for fishing Costa Rica.
