JK Sportfishing | Inshore & Offshore Charters
Welcome aboard JK Tours & Sportfishing! Founded by Jessica and driven by passionate female leadership, we specialize in giving you the ultimate luxury: time and control. Forget rigid, standard itineraries. When you fish with us in Puerto Jiménez, the ocean is yours to explore at your own pace, with the warmth of a friend and the meticulous professionalism of seasoned experts.
Our pristine waters are world-renowned for Roosterfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Marlin (Blue & Striped), Sailfish, Snapper (Cubera, Mangrove & Rose), African Pompano, and more. Whether we’re trolling or bottom fishing, you’ll step onto our immaculate 22’ Panga (perfect for up to 6 guests), fully equipped with outriggers and top-tier gear. We provide all premium rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait. Everything is prepped before you arrive so you can simply focus on the thrill of the catch.
We are proudly family-friendly! We absolutely carry high-quality, child-sized life vests on board, and our crew has endless patience to teach your little ones. A dedicated First Mate will be at your side to ensure a flawless, stress-free day (a 10–20% tip is customary to show appreciation for their hard work). We’ll welcome you with complimentary drinks and light snacks, but feel free to bring your favorites (moderate alcohol is fine; please avoid glass bottles).
Before coming aboard, simply ensure your group has their local fishing licenses (easily available online), grab your polarized sunglasses, and apply your non-spray sunscreen.
Leave the logistics to us. Book your tailored ocean adventure today, and let us share our paradise with you!
