Travel guide
Planning fishing at Los Sueños
Los Sueños Marina in Herradura Bay is one of Costa Rica’s premier sport-fishing bases — close to Jacó and an easy transfer from San José (SJO). Captains run offshore and inshore programs from the marina and nearby docks.
Offshore vs inshore
- Offshore (deep-sea): typically 20–30+ miles out targeting sailfish, blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, and mahi-mahi — usually a full-day charter.
- Inshore (nearshore / coastal): fish closer to shore for roosterfish, snapper, jacks, and other coastal species — popular as a half-day.
Full day vs half day
- Full day ≈ 8–10 hours — best for serious offshore trolling and covering more water.
- Half day ≈ 3–5 hours — ideal for families, first-timers, or a morning on the water before afternoon plans.
Most Los Sueños / Herradura charters are priced per boat (not per person). Confirm passenger limits, bait, tackle, and catch-and-release policy on each product page before booking.
