About Your Trip
Start your day with an unforgettable 5-hour deep sea fishing adventure off the coast of Playa Herradura with Captain Juan Jose and guide Fernanda! Kicking off at 7:00 a.m., this trip is tailor-made for small groups—perfect for up to 4 anglers ready to explore the rich offshore waters of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.
You’ll be fishing aboard a 28’ center console that’s fully outfitted for serious offshore action. Whether you’re a beginner testing the waters
or a seasoned angler chasing a trophy, this trip has something for everyone. With a full range of fishing styles on the table—including trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, and live bait fishing—you’ll have the chance to target an exciting variety of species like Blue and Black Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Roosterfish, Snapper, Grouper, and more.
All fishing equipment is included: rods, reels, tackle, and live bait are ready to go. The boat is federally permitted to fish far offshore and comes equipped with a restroom, Bluetooth sound system (bring your playlist!), and shaded seating. And when it comes to hospitality, Captain Juan Jose brings the good vibes—expect water, sodas, fresh fruit, light snacks, and plenty of cold beer on board (just no glass, please).
At the end of your trip, Captain Juan Jose will clean and fillet any keepers you want to take home. With flexible cancellation, a kid- and disability-friendly setup, and world-class fishing just minutes from shore, this Playa Herradura experience offers the perfect mix of comfort, local knowledge, and offshore excitement.
Just bring your sunblock, a hat, and a great attitude—Captain Juan Jose and Fernanda will take care of the rest!
