What Makes Fishing Los Sueños Costa Rica So Legendary?


1. Unmatched Biodiversity

Los Sueños sits right near the continental shelf, giving anglers fast access to deep waters where blue marlin, sailfish, dorado (mahi-mahi), yellowfin tuna, and roosterfish roam. Whether you’re trolling offshore or dropping bait inshore, the variety is simply unmatched.


2. Year-Round Action

There’s no bad season when you’re fishing Los Sueños Costa Rica. While sailfish peak from December to April, marlin make their run from June to October. With warm waters and steady weather, you can plan a fishing charter almost any time of year.


3. State-of-the-Art Marina

Los Sueños Marina is the most advanced marina in Central America, offering easy access, top-tier amenities, and a vibrant community of sportfishing enthusiasts. It’s the perfect home base for your next angling adventure.


Local Tips from Dream Girl Charters

We know these waters better than anyone, and our crew has picked up a few tricks over the years. Here are our top recommendations for getting the most out of your trip:


Gear Up Right

If you're booking with Dream Girl Charters, we provide high-quality rods, reels, and tackle — but if you’re bringing your own gear, go heavy-duty for offshore and lighter spinning setups for inshore. Don’t forget circle hooks if you're targeting billfish (it's the law in Costa Rica and better for catch-and-release).


Match the Bait to the Target

Live bait is king here. Ballyhoo is a go-to for sailfish and marlin, while sardines work wonders for roosterfish and snapper. Our crew uses local knowledge to adjust bait strategies based on daily conditions.


Timing is Everything

Start early — the bite typically picks up just after sunrise. Afternoon trips can work too, but early morning is when the ocean really comes alive. Trust your captain's advice on tide patterns and moon phases for even better odds.


Respect Local Fishing Etiquette

Sustainable fishing is a big part of Costa Rican culture. That means catch and release for billfish, no littering at sea, and always treating crew and fellow anglers with respect. Tip your mates — they work hard to make your trip safe, fun, and successful.
