Why Choose Los Sueños Fishing Charters?

 

Los Sueños Marina is more than a port; it’s a sportfishing legend.
Located in a calm bay on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific, it provides immediate access to some of the richest billfish waters in the world.

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

  • Incredible Billfish Seasons: From December through April, expect multiple hookups daily with sailfish, blue marlin, and striped marlin.

  • Luxury & Convenience: The marina features world-class yachts, fine dining, shops, and hotels — all in one place.

  • Expert Crews: Our captains know every current and drop-off in these waters; many are tournament winners and IGFA-recognized pros.

  • Year-Round Action: When billfish aren’t in peak season, yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, snapper, and roosterfish keep rods bent every month.

  • Easy Access: Only 90 minutes from San José Airport, the fastest route to world-class fishing anywhere in Costa Rica.

Inshore Fishing from Los Sueños

If you prefer calmer seas and explosive 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 with striking dorsal fins and unmatched strength.
  • Cubera Snapper, powerful, deep-diving bruisers that hit live bait hard.
  • Jack Crevalle, Sierra Mackerel, and Snook, with constant action on spinning and light tackle.

Inshore trips are ideal for families, beginners, or anyone who enjoys fast-paced fishing in view of the tropical shoreline. Most charters run half-day (5 hours) or ¾-day (6–7 hours) with calm water and steady bites.
