Jaco Costa Rica Fishing Charters
A private 29ft fishing boat for up to five passengers, powered by a single Cummins 330 HP diesel and suited to personalized fishing trips from the Jacó and Herradura area.
The 29ft charter offers a straightforward private fishing platform for families, friends and small groups. Its existing listing identifies a single Cummins 330 HP diesel engine, an approximate cruising speed of 22 knots and capacity for up to five passengers.
The boat photographs show an open working deck with overhead protection, while the listed restroom/head adds convenience during longer outings. Because the current page does not confirm individual electronics, fishing gear or food packages, those items should be reviewed when requesting a quote.
