AN UNPARALLELED FISHING
ADVENTURE AWAITS
The Best in Los Sueños Fishing and Los Sueños Culture
THE HISTORY
While Costa Rica has long been home to some of the best sport fishing on the planet, Los Sueños fishing didn’t get its start until a guy by the name of Bill Royster arrived in town. Costa Rica sport fishing owes a great deal of gratitude to Bill and his vision for Los Sueños fishing, marked by his arrival to Herradura Bay in 1991 after selling his heavy construction engineering and real estate development company in California.
​
Bill purchased roughly 1,100 acres of land and over the next decade, Los Sueños Resort and Marina slowly came to form. The best Los Sueños fishing can be found right off the bay and in 2000 the Marriott Hotel and La Iguana golf course opened their doors.
​
Despite the build-up of a world-class resort town, Costa Rica sport fishing at Los Sueños is still very much an intimate and friendly experience with generations of locals working these beautiful waters and repeat clients year in and year out. Costa Rica fishing would not be complete without some of the best dining in all of the Americas. After Costa Rica sport fishing take a break for drinks at The Hook Up. If Los Sueños fishing got you tuckered out, there is nothing better than an Italian meal at El Lanterna or even some sushi/Asian fusion at Bamboo.
THE FISH
Sailfish
Boasting a continental shelf just 20 miles offshore, the best Los Sueños fishing provides a one-of-a-kind experience with the impressive sailfish. These are by far one of the most awe-inspiring fish on the planet, downright gorgeous and a highly satisfying catch. An absolute monster of a fish, your Costa Rica fishing trip will be an undeniable success after wrangling one of these beauties.
Marlin
Equally impressive, Costa Rica sport fishing provides the opportunity not only to wrangle a Blue Marlin, but Black and Striped Marlins are also out here for the taking! Fair warning, however, marlins are not out here to play. These fish are fighters so if you think your Los Sueños fishing trip will be a walk in the park with a marlin, think again. With that said, the exhilaration of the catch makes it all worth it.
Tuna
The best part about Costa Rica sport fishing for tuna is they’re always out and about. Costa Rica sport fishing is blessed with ideal tuna water temperature year-round, so instead of migrating our tuna are ripe for the picking on your next Los Sueños fishing excursion.
Mahi Mahi
Like tuna, Mahi Mahi are also available year-round but you’ll need to fight for these fish as they’re strong and will make you work for the catch. Los Sueños Costa Rica fishing charters are full of Mahi Mahi stories using their speed to evade even the most seasoned fishermen, but once a catch is made, the end result is oh so sweet!
Grouper
As you head out into the bay, grouper territory on your Los Sueños fishing trip will take you to the reefs. This is where the grouper makes its home, feeding and breeding amongst a truly impressive range of colorful and highly sought-after fish. Keep an eye out for the Broomtail Grouper as well as the Bigeye or Yellowfin Grouper. A Los Sueños Costa Rica fishing charter trip to the deep waters is prime Grouper territory.
Red Snapper
Alongside the Groupers you’ll also find Red Snappers. Red Snappers are a wonderful treat, pulling this impressive fish aboard and snapping a couple of photos will provide memories for a lifetime. Some of the more popular Snappers residing in these Costa Rica sport fishing reefs are Rock and Yellow Snapper as well as Millet and Dogtooth Snapper.
Roosterfish
Lastly, the elusive Roosterfish. These beauties are out of a cartoon - exotic and really, really large! We’re not promising an easy Costa Rica sport fishing excursion in search of the Rooster, but there’s a reason people come from all over the world to Los Sueños to try and snag a Rooster. They’ll gobble up your bait, but also make you work to get them aboard.
