Los Suenos Sport Fishing
If you are planning a fishing vacation, you have probably heard of Costa Rica during the research phase of organizing your trip. That’s because Costa Rica sport fishing is among the best in the world. In the Central Pacific, sport fishing is abundant because this area has one of the most fertile fishing grounds in the world. For this reason, Costa Rica Los Sueños chose to build its 200-slip marina, which has become very popular due to the short run to blue water on flat seas and a diversified abundance of fish.
We have been helping anglers plan fishing trips to Los Sueños Resort since 2001, we know the best boats and crews. Contact us to start planning your next sportfishing adventure to Costa Rica.
Offshore: enter deeper waters for the “BIG ONES” – Marlins up to 600 pounds and over. Sailfish are abundant on Costa Rica sport fishing trips, and in certain months it is not unusual to catch up to 20 a day. Also found are yellowfin tuna, dorado, amberjack, wahoo, grouper, and rainbow runner.
Inshore: Go for red snapper, snook, and get the fight of a lifetime from a world-record roosterfish.

This is our third year of staying at Los Suenos Resort. The grounds and accommodations are everything you would want and are just like the pictures. All three years we have fished with Walter on the Sunny 1. Walter and his first mate are the highlight of the stay. Fished in the Florida keys many times for Sailfish and Marlin. You can catch more in one day with Walter than a week in the keys. Pacific Sailfish are so much larger than the Atlantic sail. Great time and look forward to doing again next year.

Great boat, Great Captain and Crew. Fishing slow the day we went but the Captain and Crew could not have worked harder for us to catch fish. The boat was clean and well maintained, the tackle was first class. Captain Walter is highly regarded by the other Captains. Highly recommend.

Took my two sons out on Sunny 1 for a day of big game fishing. Solid 32 foot Maverick boat with a great Captain and skilled crew. Day started slow but Captain Walter pushed west 38 miles to find the fish. And did we find them...... Raised 14 sails and a blue Marlin went 7 for 9 on the sails but couldn’t get the blue to bite. First mate Jeremy and 2nd Ryan worked hard on the pitch baits and kept the action going into the afternoon. Good lunch and stocked cooler kept his charter happy. We’ll be back on Sunday!

We fished aboard the Sunny 1 for 2 days and had an excellent time!!! The crew is top notch and put us on the fish both days. Roosters, tuna, mahi, and sailfish bites all hit the spread or the deck. We can’t recommend these guys enough!! Thank you for a wonderful time!
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What part of Costa Rica has the best fishing?
The best fishing areas in Costa Rica depend on the species you want to target. Tarpon are found only on the Caribbean coast, while billfish such as marlin and sailfish thrive in the Pacific. Our location near Los Sueños is an ideal fishing spot because we avoid the heavy northern winds, offering calmer waters and excellent offshore conditions perfect for a successful day of angling. The southern regions also have good fishing, though they are mostly limited to smaller lodges rather than full marinas.
-
What is the best month to fish in Costa Rica?
Fishing in Costa Rica is excellent year-round, but the best month depends on the species you’re after. For example, sailfish peak in the Pacific between December and April, while marlin are strongest from September to November. For detailed planning, check our sportfishing calendar to see seasonal availability by species.
