The first rule of fishing in Los Suenos is not to procure the appropriate tackle. It’s instead to be safe.

Anglers wanting to search for Black Marlins, Sailfish and other breeds must spare a thought for proper planning - especially when they’ll be boarding unfamiliar ships.

Verify that a charter tour has access to the latest safety equipment. This includes life preservers, floatation devices, a well-stocked first aid kit, satellite communication systems, functioning radar and fire extinguishers.

Ask to see these options before sailing and listen to all instructions on how to use them. Most Los Suenos crews will explain how items work before launching a tour. This is to ensure that even the youngest passengers understand emergency measures and their importance.

Sport fishing is undeniably thrilling. It can, however, be undeniably dangerous if anglers find themselves unprepared. Always plan ahead and stay safe.
