Jaco Costa Rica Fishing Charters
A versatile private charter for up to four anglers, powered by twin Yamaha outboards and equipped for inshore, nearshore, reef and offshore fishing with Captain Henry Reyes.
The 28ft Mako combines an open fishing layout with a semi-enclosed forward cabin that adds shade and protection. Twin 115 HP Yamaha outboards provide a listed cruising speed of up to 22 knots.
This is a practical choice for small private groups that may want to troll offshore, fish reefs, work live bait along the coast or use spinning and jigging tackle. An onboard toilet, ice box and multimedia system add comfort during longer outings.
All three original full-size images from the existing charter listing are retained.
