Jaco Sport Fishing
If you're ready to discover fishing in Herradura, we've got you covered with Jaco Sport Fishing. Your guide for the day is Captain Javier, so you'll benefit from their professional experience.
Pacific Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Broomtail Grouper, and more are in the cards, depending on conditions. You'll target your catch by trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Trips with Jaco Sport Fishing are kid-friendly, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks for a boost of energy when needed!
Capt. Javier will bring you aboard a 30' T Barracuda V -PQ-8988 sportfishing vessel that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Basic fishing bait is included. Live bait is available for an additional $60 and must be requested in advance.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Our crew works hard to make your trip an unforgettable experience, so gratuities are always appreciated.
A few items to bring include sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. 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 avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Your trip with Jaco Sport Fishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Rita RoseRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHands down THE best experience you’ll ever get!
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 30, 2026 • 2 adultsI’ve never had this much fun in my entire life. I have very limited experience deep sea fishing and was expecting to catch nothing but nonetheless both my friend and I caught two mahi-mahi and a sailfish, each. The crew on the boat made us feel very safe and instructed us on how to properly do everything in a safe manner. They even had snacks and drinks for us. Everyone was super nice, super supportive, and they’re right there with you the whole time. Seriously worth the money, I wish we had booked the full day tour. If I ever find myself back in Costa Rica (hopefully again someday) I will 110% be booking another deep fishing excursion with this group!
Jeney SlusserRepeat angler5.0VerifiedExcellent trip!!
Full Day Trip – Fishing Adventure on June 2, 2026 • 4 adultsThis was our best fishing trip yet. We caught bonita, several mahi, and a 5’ shark for the grand finale! Christian and Marlin were an excellent crew and incredibly friendly. They provided beverages, fresh cut fruit, and sandwiches. We booked an all day trip and were able to try several different areas and ways of fishing.
James WeissingerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing trip!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on March 18, 2026 • 2 adultsMy wife and I booked a trip while kn our honeymoon hoping to catch some Mahi. We started off by catching two Mahi and then hit a lull, but finished the day with a frenzy and had more Mahi than we knew what to do with. The captain and first mate were super friendly and helpful and made our trip wonderful. Would highly recommend!!

Full Day Trip –Fantasía Beach Coyol on February 19, 2026 • 2 adultscould not have asked for a better experience. it was amazing
Tim Haggerty5.0VerifiedGreat Time
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 14, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had an outstanding experience on our fishing charter today with Captain Javier and Crew Kevin. These guys worked nonstop from the moment we left the dock. You could tell they were completely focused on putting us on fish, and they delivered. Captain Javier clearly knows the water and how to find the bite, and Kevin hustled the entire trip making sure lines were set, fish were landed, and everything ran smoothly. Professional, hardworking, and dialed in. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, don’t hesitate. Highly recommend

Barry ButlerRepeat angler1.3VerifiedWorst charter trip ever
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 23, 2026 • 3 adultsBoat provided no live bait, had no anchor so we were trying to jig fish while drifting all over the place. No rods or set up for bottom fishing with appropriate weights as needed. We caught total of 2 trigger fish between 2 anglers.
