Within the Los Suenos harbor are countless fishing charters. Luxurious yachts, big-bowed trawlers and midwater longliners sit patiently in their slips, while their crews call out to passing anglers. There are many ships to consider and all seem ideal for deep-sea adventures.

The truth, however, is that each Los Suenos charter provides a unique experience and travelers should research them all carefully before making a decision.

Answer all of these questions and research which ship is best.

Los Suenos is brimming with fish. Throughout the year migration patterns remain steady, ushering in waves of Blue Marlins, Red Snappers and Yellow Fins. Lines rarely remain still and hooks always seem to shake.

Anglers must remember, however, that no fishing charter is guaranteed to be a success.

Catching fish in Los Suenos is an easy task The warm currents, high temperatures and exceptional coastline keep marine creatures centered in the area. There will be times, however, when snagging a Rainbow Runner or Grouper is simply impossible. Charter crews will provide the perfect tackle and supplies. They’ll choose the right locations and take advantage of their varied expertise - but they can’t promise anything.

It’s important for anglers to understand this and to not become discouraged. Some days will yield record-breaking catches, while others will end with nothing more than sun-burns. Know that charter crews will do their best to provide spectacular hours. Their best simply might not be enough. Try again and don’t despair.

Each year thousands of anglers arrive to Los Suenos, wanting to shatter records and snag world-class catches. The Marina fills with hooks, lines and fresh bait; and a never-ending tourist season continues its loop through the Central Pacific.

Booking a Los Suenos charter ship in advance, therefore, is strongly recommended.

The crowds never wane in Costa Rica. Each months brings deep-sea and inshore anglers - all who need charter ships. This creates problems at the Marina, with hundreds of fishermen vying for the same boats.

Book every trip in advance to avoid this. Make reservations at least three months before arriving in Los Suenos. Schedule the perfect departure times, tackle options, itineraries and more. Don’t try to find a ship upon arriving. This simply won’t work. Early reservations are instead essential.

Thousands arrive each year to discover Los Suenos. Its spectacular shoreline and heady climates tempt anglers, surfers and hikers alike. The tourist season never truly ends and finding a private corner of the Central Pacific is uncommon.

This could be an advantage for some travelers, however.

A public fishing charter - much like a public mountain tour or zip-line adventure - has many benefits and should not be dismissed by those arriving to Los Suenos.

Los Suenos is meant to be explored. Some travelers simply prefer those explorations to be quiet, family-driven affairs. They don’t want to share the sea with strangers. They instead want personalized adventures.

Private fishing charters, therefore, are strongly recommended.

Charter ships line the Los Suenos Marina, with their captains promising the best adventures and greatest catches. Every trip is destined to be a success.

Every trip is not, however, destined to be the same.

Before choosing a Los Suenos charter be certain to verify what kind of tour will be provided. Costa Rica boasts some of the world’s most diverse fishing. Crews try to specialize in a variety of offshore, inshore and mid-shore options, therefore. Tackle and techniques will differ from ship to ship.

Anglers should understand what kind of tours they prefer and which charters offer them. Don’t assume all trips will target all fish. They won’t - and this could ruin a Los Suenos vacation. Verify information in advance and choose the right ship.

Electrical waves define the Los Suenos shoreline. Charges and stimuli can be found in every current, mapping the Central Pacific. Anglers are familiar with these energy bursts, utilizing them for radar and weather monitoring.

Certain breeds, like the Lamprey or the Knifefish, use them as well to great advantage. This is known as electroreception.

Electroreception is an essential part of survival for the fish in Los Suenos. Many are born with jelly-filled pores that conduct energy, allowing them to sense even the faintest signals and memorize the ocean floor. These pores, which are connected to clusters of skin within the ampullae, help streamline the hunting process and provide better protection against oncoming threats (such as large predators or ships). They deliver the same results as echolocation or radio detection.

Anglers should be aware of electroreception since it is often the source of their frustrations. If fish seem to consistently flee from a ship, they are most likely sensitive to currents and won’t be trapped. Sailing to another location is recommended to find other, less aware breeds.

Speed is essential in the Pacific. Fast predators chase equally fast prey, powering along the Los Suenos shoreline in an endless loop of feeding, fighting and fleeing.

That loop would shatter quickly without the proper tails.

Los Suenos fish boast a variety of tails, all intended to propel them through the currents and away from harm. There are many shapes to find, and all provide essential balance and agility.


Few fish features are more distinctive - or more vital - than tails. They serve as rudders, balancers and propulsion sources. They also allow anglers to quickly identify specific breeds. Learn the different tail shapes and recognize their importance.

Navigating the Los Suenos shoreline can often prove difficult. It’s a collection of high waves and coral reefs, with rocks and sandy dunes shoved in between. Anglers must find the safest path to travel, and fish are no different.

It’s why they have caudal keels.

Caudal keels are scute-composed finlets placed atop a fish. They stand in lateral lines and serve as rudders underwater. Their strong bones and rigid textures allow them to push through the waves, providing exceptional balance and turning. Without them many Los Suenos breeds would be unable to move between the currents.

They also wouldn’t be able to provide much resistance on the line. Caudal keels directly impact a fish’s speed and agility, making every reel-in exciting. Anglers should recognize the importance of these fins whenever they battle a Marlin, Snook or Rainbow Runner. Without them every charter trip would be exceedingly dull.

Silence isn’t merely golden in Los Suenos. It’s essential - because the Weberian Apparatus allows fish to sense even the faintest sounds underwater, leading them away from hooks, lines and reels.

The Weberian Apparatus is a series of small bones tucked behind a fish’s skull. These bones connect the inner ear to the swim bladder, tunneling vibrations through the body. This allows every Minnow, Mackerel and Loach to hear underwater; and too often it is the reason an angler will find himself unable to snag a catch.

Marine creatures are extremely sensitive to sound, with the Weberian Apparatus allowing them to distinguish unique vibrations from miles away. It’s recommended, therefore, to remain as quiet as possible while on a charter trip. Reduce engine noise and be cautious when casting lines. Limit conversation whenever possible and refrain from loud music. This will promote more effective fishing.
