Dalton Adams5.0VerifiedBEST OUTFITTER IN COSTA RICA
Full Day Trip • 6 adultsThe #1 goal when booking our trip was catching fish and Alejandro and his crew did not disappoint. With the odds stacked against us, (rainy season, storms to the left & right) Alejandro had us on fish within the first 30 minutes. First a mackerel, then bonita followed by a plethora of Mahi. Alejandro and his team put on a clinic on how to catch fish. During our trip we landed 20+ fish, catching nearly every species that Costa Rica had to offer. Alejandro even hooked us on the elusive wahoo & sailfish. Sadly we were unable to land them but getting to fight them and watching them jump was a thing of beauty. If you are looking for an outfit who will do whatever it takes to put you on fish look no further!

Response from CaptainDalton, Thank you guys so much for being a good sport and always having a positive vibe despite the tough weather. It is really rewarding for us to put our clients on fish and luckily it was a very active fishing day. Until next time my friend, pura vida and tight lines!
Tavis AddisonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedTop of the line!
Full Day Trip • 4 adultsDespite a cloudy start, we ended up having an incredible day on the water. We caught fish long after we were tired of reeling them in—tuna, mahi-mahi, trout, and more. We landed over seven mahi-mahi and more than 30 fish overall, releasing many and still bringing home plenty for the weekend. The crew was patient, professional, and made the experience exciting from start to finish. They even filleted and bagged all of our fish for us. I've been on fishing charters in several countries, and this was easily one of the best charter experiences I've ever had. Highly recommended.

Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 1 childWe are in Costa Rica as a family for the first time. Family of 4 and we decided to go fishing. Alejandro and his mate Chopa were friendly, informative and got us on the fish! Alejandro speaks perfect English and we talked about fishing, family and the beauty of Costa Rica. We did the half day trip and we brought in 2 yellowfin, 3 mahi mahi, 2 mackeral and a 'Bonita' tuna. Would absolutely recommend Alejandro and his boat!

Sean Griswold5.0VerifiedDream Fish
Full Day Trip • 4 adultsAre in CR for a special trip for my son who is graduating. Me and my three boys went out for a full day offshore. Our two main targets were Mahi and Sailfish. My son who was graduating has always wanted to catch a self fish. We got some beautiful Mahi, a bunch of Rainbow Runner (the most delicious fish I’ve ever eaten) and to top it off, my son won an 18 minute fight with a a spirited Sailfish!
Lane CapronRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSailfish & everything else!
Half Day Trip • 3 adultsA great day fishing. A bit overcast and occasional ran kept it cool and the fishing hot. From Mahi to Tuna and big Sailfish at the end of the day, we could not have been happier. We caught six species and never even got around to bottom fishing. Highly recomend!!
Reported catch:Response from CaptainLane, it was such a good time having you and your boys fishing with us! Glad you guys had a good time fishing with us! until next time, pura vida!

What's biting with Reel Jaco Sportfishing Adventures in Jaco
Expect Sailfish, Blue and Striped Marlin, and large numbers of Mahi Mahi to start showing up in Jacó's offshore waterways. Snappers and Groupers are still making for great table fare. Look for them over the local reefs.
