Which fishing boat is right for your group?

Some boats board from Herradura Bay, while others operate from Los Sueños Marina. We confirm the exact meeting point and current inclusions before the reservation is finalized.

Charter questions
Jaco fishing boat FAQ
Where do the boats depart?
Depending on the selected charter, boarding may be from Herradura Bay or Los Sueños Marina. Both are a short drive from central Jacó. We provide the exact meeting point with your reservation details.
What is normally included in a fishing charter?
Most trips include the captain and mate, rods, reels, tackle, bait, ice and beverages. Full-day charters may include snacks and lunch. Exact inclusions vary by boat and should be confirmed before booking.
Should we choose the largest possible boat?
Not necessarily. Consider the number of active anglers, desired comfort, fishing type and budget. We can recommend boats that comfortably accommodate your particular group.
Are prices shown on this page?
Contact us for current rates because pricing and inclusions can change by boat, trip length and season. We will provide options for comparison before you reserve.
Can beginners and children fish?
Yes. The crew can assist first-time anglers. A half-day inshore trip is often the most comfortable introduction for young children or guests unsure about spending a full day offshore.
