Please recommend a small boat to charter in Costa Rica (Jaco Bay area)

[Happy]

Together with 3 other families we are planning a vacation in Costa Rica between Christmas and right after New Years (Jan.2).
One of the 2 places we'll be staying is Jaco for about 5 days.
I wanted to organize an inshore 1/2 day (up to 4 hours) fishing trip for about 6-8 people. Most of these guys and their teenage kids have never been fishing on the boat. So this is why I'd like to do inshore bottom fishing (snapper, small grouper, etc.). I also want to decrease chances of anyone getting seasick.

Can anyone recommend a charter boat that fishes in that area of Costa Rica (Jaco)?
What are the price ranges for 6-8 people charter for 4 hours of inshore fishing?
Do you think going out for snapper is a good option for us?

Many thanks in advance!

Mike.

I think that in today's world I would be very careful who i fish wish I would do a charter. 20 years ago I would not even be thinking about that but today there is too much bad stuff going on around us. I know it's very safe there but there are too many copycat nuts out there looking to make a name for themselves.

Happy- Go to the charter office at Los Suenos, they will be able to place you with a boat that fits your needs. Pangas may not be your best option for the group you are describing. I think a sportboat with a head would be better. The office used to be Costa Rican Dreams, not sure if they still use that name.

Pretty sure Beatle Bar closed.

Enjoy!

Thanks you, everyone!
Have a great holiday season!

Go to Los Suenos and charter the Blue Daze. It's a very well equipped thirty eight Hatteras that is owned by a couple from NJ. They will take very good care of you.
