Catch and release fishing defines the Los Suenos experience. Anglers arriving to this Central Pacific harbor quickly find themselves introduced to government policies, all intended to protect local breeds and promote sustainable tourism. Popular fish - such as Striped Marlins or Blue Marlins - are to be set free, rather than stuffed and mounted.

This eco-friendly philosophy is necessary, helping to secure Los Suenos' ample marine life. It eliminates over-fishing and maintains environmental standards. It doesn't, however, extend to every creature. There are instead many edible options left.

While fishing in Los Suenos anglers can catch and keep specific breeds. These include:


These fish, due to their abundant populations, are not subject to release laws. They can instead serve as trophies or even meals for anglers. Look for charter ships that specialize in these breeds, and see if crews will offer to filet any catches on board.

Fishing in Los Suenos is not a solitary sport. It’s instead a chance for families and friends to come together in the pursuit of sand, sun and record-shattering catches.

Accomplishing this requires top-shelf tackle... and a large sport fishing charter.

A large charter is aptly named. This ship features an elongated design, with a broad hull and wrap-around decking. An excess of outdoor salons and bait stations proves ideal for groups, and a sprawling interior provides exceptional comfort. This option is massive, requiring high-capacity engines to keep it at an appropriate cruising speed. Expect twin diesel motors and generator support.


Anglers wanting to share the sport fishing experience with their closet companions should consider large charter ships. These cruisers provide the necessary size, stability and comfort needed for deep-sea expeditions.

Size doesn’t matter. This is an old adage that often proves true, especially when trying to navigate the deep waters of Los Suenos. A sleeker, sharper charter often proves best - which is why center console options are popular with anglers.

These streamlined ships feature narrow hulls and square cores, with their helms and seating areas arranged within centralized consoles. They’re exposed on three sides, with cover provided only by frontal shields and overhangs. Twin engines deliver steady power, allowing them to achieve high speeds and precise maneuverability.


It should be noted that, due to their smaller sizes and lack of amenities, center console ships are intended for half-day excursions.

A day of sport fishing always proves exciting.

It can also, however, prove uncomfortable for anglers who choose the wrong charter ships. Cramped quarters and awkward decks leave even the most avid fishermen frustrated. There is too little space and too little shade, making for a tedious experience (even for small groups).

Consider a full size ship, therefore, while fishing in Los Suenos.

Full size ships offer spacious designs, with broad hulls and deep interiors. Wrap-around decks and salons provide ample space, and multiple berths impress. Lightweight materials, like fiberglass, and twin engines help to compensate for the bulk, however, and ensure steady speeds. This combines with fighting chairs, bait wells and more for efficient - and comfortable - charters.


Full size charter ships are ideal for off-shore excursions and small party trips. Choose one today!

There often seem to be as many fishing boats in Los Suenos as there are fish - and many of those boats offer express designs.

An express charter ship is a medium-class vessel, intended for deep sea or near-shore activities. It features an aerodynamic shape, with a sharp deadrise and pointed hull. This allows it to maneuver easily through any current, even during Costa Rica's more volatile wet season. Its twin-engine mechanics also prove essential, ensuring reliable power and speed. It is consistently ranked as a favorite among anglers.

Sailing into deep waters doesn’t appeal to every angler. Some instead prefer to move among the sandy shelves, using cunning methods and top-shelf tackle to lure Snappers and Corvinas to the surface.

Traveling to Los Suenos, therefore, becomes an easy choice.

Near-shore fishing is a common activity in this marina town. Anglers come to sample the warm waters and rugged ocean terrain, discovering exceptional hauls throughout the year.


Near-shore fishing is an excellent option for novices or families with young children. It delivers intense thrills without requiring full-day participation.

Few sports are as aptly named as off-shore fishing. This favored pastime refers to any expedition that takes place away from the coastline, offering deep waters and reclusive breeds. It’s an easy contrast to in-shore fishing or even near-shore fishing.

Anglers wanting to experience off-shore fun often travel to Los Suenos, wanting to take advantage of its Pacific currents and strong migration seasons. They schedule charter tours, enjoying the long days and plentiful hauls.

These tours typically offer:

Off-shore fishing is an ideal option for all anglers, professional or amateur alike. Indulge in Los Suenos’ ample breeds and steady climate for full-day fun.

Planning a Costa Rica vacation seems so simple. Anglers spend their days researching white sand and deep waters, eagerly crafting summer fun.

Turning that fun into a reality, however, often proves impossible - because many fishing sites lack the power of online booking. Would-be adventurers are forced instead to schedule their charter tours by phone. Hours are wasted. Tempers are frayed. And the perfect Los Suenos experience is soured before travelers even step onto the shore.

Costa Rica Fishing Adventures now offers an alternative.

Tipping is not a common custom in Costa Rica. The word gratuity is rarely spoken, and exceptional service is to be expected (with or without recognition).

Those traveling to Los Suenos, however, should tip their charter crews - both as a courtesy and a reward.

Charter crews work tirelessly to ensure safe and exciting excursions. These seasoned individuals help anglers chase Sailfish, Dorados, Wahoos and more. They’ve masted migration patterns, tidal pulls and the effects of weather; and they understand how to properly lure deep sea breeds while still conforming to Costa Rica’s many sustainability laws.

These traits deserve a tip - even if a fishing trip proves less fruitful than anticipated. These crews have extensive knowledge of the Pacific and its creatures. They can’t, however, guarantee success. Don’t hold them responsible for a poor haul.

Costa Rica Fishing Adventures suggests that anglers pay gratuities of at least 15% (based on the total costs of their trips, including ship rentals, licensing fees, tackle purchases and more). Thank crews for their services and efforts.

Casual fishermen, despite what professional anglers insist, do exist. Marlins and Mackerels are seen as pastimes instead of passions, and charter tours become excuses for good conversation and local cuisine. These individuals care nothing for records. They merely want to have fun.

Costa Rica Fishing Adventures recommends that they choose half-day tours to find that fun.

A half-day fishing tour is, as its name suggests, a quick jaunt into the Pacific. It lasts approximately five hours and keeps anglers closer to shore, going up to a mere twenty miles beyond the breaks. It's less costly than its full-day sibling and often boasts a more relaxed atmosphere.

While in Los Suenos inexperienced anglers should consider half-day tours. These are excellent introductions to sport fishing, allowing travelers to quickly immerse themselves in the Central Pacific. They’re also more focused, with less time spent sailing into deep waters. This is especially helpful in situations where young children are involved. Stave off boredom and complaints with shorter expeditions.

Casual anglers should indulge in half-day tours, providing themselves with instant gratification and endless excitement. Contact Costa Rica Fishing Adventures to learn more about these charters. Ask us also about our accommodations and special promotions.
