The Fishery

A coastline
built for fishing

Jaco and neighbouring Herradura sit on one of the Pacific's richest stretches of water. The continental shelf drops away within an easy run, so a single morning can put you on billfish offshore and roosterfish along the rocks.

Captain Danny Alfaro fishes these grounds the year round and knows where the bite is holding. Two identical boats, professional tackle, and a simple promise: a real shot at the fish you came for.

Run for the blue. The Pacific drop-off off Jacó holds billfish year-round — trolling spreads, teasers and the long fight you came for.
