Spend an unforgettable day on the water with 3 Strangers Fishing!

Experience the thrill of fishing Costa Rica's Central Pacific with a passionate local crew that has spent a lifetime on these waters. Whether you're an experienced angler or trying sportfishing for the first time, we'll tailor the trip to give you the best possible experience.

Our productive fishing grounds around Herradura Bay and Jacó offer opportunities to catch Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Roosterfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Cubera Snapper, Grouper, and many other exciting species, depending on the season.

Every trip is different. We may troll offshore for pelagic game fish, target reefs with bottom fishing, work live bait, or switch techniques throughout the day to stay on the bite. Our goal is simple: put you on fish and make sure you have an incredible time doing it.

You'll fish aboard our 28' Apex center console, powered by a reliable 225 HP Yamaha, equipped with premium tackle, Garmin electronics, a live bait tank, and plenty of space for up to 5 guests. It's the perfect setup for a comfortable, hands-on fishing adventure.

Your trip includes quality rods, reels, tackle, premium lures, fishing licenses, bottled water, snacks, and fish cleaning after the trip. If we land a Yellowfin Tuna, we'll even prepare fresh sashimi on board whenever possible—an experience our guests love.

Need transportation? Complimentary hotel pickup is available within the Jacó area, making your fishing day as easy as possible.

Bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and your camera—we'll take care of the rest. Our friendly captain and mate will work hard to make sure your day is safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable.
