Calle Herradura
Herradura, PU, Costa Rica
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.
If there's more you'd like to know about fishing with R Sport Fishing, feel free to send Capt. Rocha a message down below.

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 Day on the Ocean blue
8 Hour Trip – Full Day (AM) on September 29, 2025 • 2 adults
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!

Great Day Fishing with Rocha & First Mate
5 Hour Trip – Half Day (AM) on April 26, 2026 • 4 adults
Capt. 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.
