What you can expect
Maximize your time on the water with a high-intensity, half-day private fishing charter designed for groups who want premium results without spending the whole day at sea. Operating from Bahía Herradura, this private excursion puts your group in direct command of the itinerary.
Because a half-day charter requires maximum efficiency, choose one of two distinct fishing strategies before leaving the dock:
Option 1: The Inshore Battle (Reefs & Coastline)
Stay closer to the spectacular coastal scenery and volcanic structures. This option is highly dynamic and ideal for families or anglers looking for fast-paced action targeting hard-fighting reef species like Roosterfish, Snook, Mackarel, and aggressive Cubera Snappers.
Option 2: The Offshore Run (Deep Blue Waters)
Head straight out to the deep drops of the Central Pacific to target world-class pelagic species. This option is geared toward trolling and tracking larger game fish moving through the blue currents, primarily focusing on Mahi-Mahi (Dorado) and various Tuna species like Yellowfin or Blackfin.
Our versatile center console boat features a 360-degree open layout, ensuring zero obstructions when you hook and battle your trophy. Led by Captain Gerson and a professional mate, our crew provides hands-on coaching for all skill levels. At the end of the trip, we will clean and fillet your edible catch so you can take it straight to a local restaurant in Jacó or Herradura for an authentic shore-to-table dinner.
