    Roosterfish!

    4 hour fishing am on September 26, 2026 • 3 adults

    Had a great trip with Captain Gavo and Jose. Arranged to have live bait available and had a roosterfish hooked within 15 minutes. They were attentive making sure we had snacks and drinks all day. They had all high quality Shimano and Penn gear that was in good condition. Highlight of the day was catching a large rock snapper. Our angler was initially having trouble fighting the fish, but the crew was so helpful in encouraging her and helping her get the fish in. Huge smiles all around. Thanks guys, see you again soon!

    Fish with these guys!

    Half day inshore pm on July 5, 2026 • 2 adults

    Excellent team of brother fisherman. Clean, organized and professional. Their love for fishing is obvious. This is not at all a simple tourist trip as they are going to work hard to get you the targeted species. We caught several great Roosterfish and lost a monster at the boat. Also caught a few big yellow jacks. This was on an afternoon charter. Will fish with them again.

    4 hour fishing am on July 9, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    The trip of a lifetime! My three young daughters, my wife and myself had an amazing time. the captain and deckhand were the best. they made sure my daughters ages 11,13 and 15 had an experience of a lifetime out on the waters. The experience created a family trip that will be in our memories for ever. I highly recommend this crew and enjoy the experience.

    Half day trip

    Half day offshore am on June 6, 2026

    We had a great time with Gavo and his brother Jose. They put us on the mahi and also got to reel in a yellow fin tuna. Couldn’t ask for any more than the absolute meat haul we went on. We will be eating mahi and tuna all week while we’re here. Kids had a blast and have memories that will last a lifetime time! Thanks guys!

    Rooster Fish on my birthday

    Full day inshore on February 2, 2026

    Been debating C.R for the past two years. Finally took the plunge and decided to go look for my Rooster. Based on the reviews I picked out Jaco Fishermen hoping for the best. I bet the on the right captain ended up catching 2 and a variety of other fish. The weather was not cooperating but the cap kept grinding till he put us on the fish. Deff would highly recommend Jaco Fishermen. Mounted the Trophy of course.

🎣 From Hook to Plate—An Incredible Experience⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Half day offshore pm on July 11, 2026 • 3 adults

Captain Angel delivered an incredible fishing trip from start to finish! We arrived at 7:00 AM, and the day was organized and hassle-free from the moment we got there. One thing that caught us off guard at first—don't fret when you arrive at the beach and are directed to a small taxi boat. That's just your ride out to Captain Angel's fishing boat. We had a good laugh because our first thought was, "There's no way we're fishing from this!" The taxi boat simply takes you to the actual charter boat waiting in deeper water. Once we got underway, Captain Angel was constantly trolling and working to keep us on the fish. We had an amazing day on the water and caught some true trophy fish, including yellowfin, blackfin, spanish mackerel, and mahi-mahi. When we got a bite, it was our job to reel the fish in. Once we brought it alongside the boat, Captain Angel and his crewmate worked together seamlessly, expertly gaffing or netting each fish and bringing it aboard with precision and professionalism. Their teamwork made the entire experience smooth, exciting, and safe. One thing that really stood out was how efficient they were. While Captain Angel continued searching for the next bite, his crewmate cleaned our catch right there on the boat. Just tell him how you'd like your fish cut, and he'll take care of the rest. Meanwhile, we kicked back with complimentary drinks from the fully stocked cooler, which included both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. It felt like the operation never skipped a beat—while we relaxed between catches, Captain Angel was already working to find the next school of fish, and his crewmate was preparing our catch. It made the entire trip feel effortless. The boat was clean, comfortable, and even had a private restroom on board—although we ended up doing what fishermen do and just used the ocean! Instead of bringing a cooler to take our fish home, we decided to enjoy our catch the same day. We only kept one Spanish mackerel, one yellowfin tuna, and one mahi-mahi, then took them to Cocos, a restaurant right off the beach that will cook your catch however you'd like, complete with complimentary sides. We chose to have the yellowfin prepared two ways—half as sashimi crudo and the other half as ahi tuna. The Spanish mackerel was grilled with black pepper, and the mahi-mahi was pan-seared with black pepper. Every dish was outstanding, and there couldn't have been a better way to end the day than enjoying fish we had caught just hours earlier. There was plenty of left overs that we took back for dinner lol If you're looking for a captain who knows where the fish are, runs a first-class operation, and works hard to make sure everyone has a great time, Captain Angel is the one to book. From the early morning start to an incredible fresh seafood lunch, this was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended!
