Customized Private Charters & Family Ocean Days – Your Day, Your Way
Welcome to Mathis Ocean Adventures, based in Herradura Beach (right next to Jacó and Los Sueños). If you are looking to escape the crowded public catamarans and commercial tour buses, our 28-foot Apex center console boat offers the perfect middle ground: an affordable, completely private, and flexible day on the water tailored to your group’s exact pace.
We know that when families or groups travel together, everyone wants to do something different. That is where we excels. We specialize in multi-activity charters where you don't have to compromise—our crew is here to accommodate everyone in your group, ensuring that both kids and adults have an amazing time.
Mix & Match Your Perfect Day
You set the schedule and we handle the rest. We can easily combine any of these activities into your trip:
1. Beach Lounging & Island Visits: We can cruise you down the coastline to quiet, secluded beaches where you can swim, relax on the sand, and enjoy the scenery away from the crowds.
2. Snorkeling & Marine Life: Jump into the water to explore local reefs with our provided gear. Depending on the season, we will also keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, and whales.
3. Casual Fishing ("Hook & Cook"): Want to experience Costa Rica's famous fishing without the pressure of a heavy, full-day hardcore trip? We can rig the lines for a few hours of fun coastal fishing. Our crew will clean and fillet your catch so you can take it straight to a local restaurant in Jacó or Herradura for a fresh shore-to-table meal.
Your time in Costa Rica is about making memories together. Step onto the deck of the Mathis, tell us what your dream ocean day looks like, and let us take care of the rest.
Book your private family adventure today and experience the real Pura Vida lifestyle!

Crafting Legends, One Strike at a Time For me, the ocean isn't just a workplace—it's a legacy. I learned to cast a line long before I could ride a bike, and the Pacific has been my true north ever since. From the golden silence of a Roosterfish at sunrise to the adrenaline-pumping, two-hour battle with a Blue Marlin, I have dedicated my life to mastering the pulse of the Costa Rican coast. ⚓ The 'Mathis' Difference: Your Story, Documented I believe every charter is a story waiting to be told. Whether we are hunting Offshore giants like Tuna and Sailfish or exploring Inshore reefs for Cubera Snapper, I don't just guide you—I document your journey. My passion for storytelling ensures that every 'screaming reel' and every victory on deck is captured with the personalized detail it deserves. Innovation Meets Maritime Grit We operate a specialized 28ft Apex center console, engineered for a dry, stable, and fast ride to the fishing grounds. We blend old-school maritime grit with modern luxury to ensure your comfort: Premium Tech: We offer Onboard Satellite Internet, allowing you to share your epic catches in real-time while we are miles from the coast. Total Comfort: Unlike many boats in this class, we feature a private onboard toilet, making our vessel the premier choice for families and long offshore sessions. Elite Gear: We hunt with top-tier Penn and Shimano tackle, rigged for maximum success. A Personal Touch in Every Mile Based in the heart of Herradura Beach, we pride ourselves on 'Texas-style' loyalty and 'Pura Vida' hospitality. I've spent years sharing this sport with world-class pros and families alike, and I still get the same thrill as a first-timer every time a line goes tight. Whether you are a seasoned angler chasing a personal best or a family looking for their first great catch, I am ready to help you write your next legendary chapter. The only question is: Do you get on or let it pass?
