Why Choose Los Sueños Fishing Charters?

Los Sueños Marina is more than just a port; it’s a legend in sportfishing. It sits in a calm bay on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific. This location offers quick access to some of the best billfish waters in the world.

Here’s why anglers call it the “Billfish Capital of the World”:

Incredible Billfish Seasons: From December through April, you can expect multiple hookups every day with sailfish, blue marlin, and striped marlin.
Luxury and Convenience: The marina has top-notch yachts, fine dining, shops, and hotels all in one place.
Expert Crews: Our captains know every current and drop-off in these waters. Many have won tournaments and are recognized by the IGFA as professionals.
Year-Round Action: When billfish aren’t in season, yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, snapper, and roosterfish keep rods bent throughout the year.
Easy Access: It’s only 90 minutes from San José Airport, the quickest way to reach world-class fishing anywhere in Costa Rica.

Inshore Fishing from Los Sueños

If you prefer calmer seas and exciting near-shore action, our inshore charters stay close to the coast, casting along reefs, river mouths, and rocky structures.

You’ll target:

– Roosterfish, a Costa Rican icon known for its impressive dorsal fins and incredible strength.
– Cubera snapper, powerful fighters that dive deep and hit live bait hard.
– Jack Crevalle, Sierra Mackerel, and Snook, which offer constant action on spinning and light tackle.

Inshore trips are perfect for families, beginners, or anyone who enjoys fast-paced fishing with a view of the tropical shoreline. Most charters last half a day (5 hours) or three-quarters of a day (6–7 hours) with calm waters and steady bites.
