Costa Rica Fishing

In the arena of sport fishing, few places compare with Los Sueños Costa Rica. We are internationally considered the “Fishing Capital of the World” and a target destination for sport fishing. World famous for billfish, Costa Rica is host to numerous international fishing tournaments including the Los Sueños Signature Triple Crown and the Lucas Oil Offshore World Championship. In 2017, first place went to our friends aboard the 38’ Custom for their assistance.

Finest Pacific Ocean Fishing

The rich warm waters of Costa Rica’s Pacific Ocean attract many different species of fish throughout the year.

The predatory fish that sport fishermen enjoy are attracted by the numerous plankton and feeder fish. The iconic Marlin, both blue and black, the glittery acrobatic Dorado or Mahi Mahi, and the porpoise-loving Yellowfin Tuna can all be found offshore.

Home to so many different species of fish, Costa Rica boasts 84 International Game Fishing Association (IGFA) world records for Snook, Snapper, and Dorado, while Los Sueños Marina itself holds IGFA records for sailfish, Marlin, and Roosterfish.

Inland and Freshwater, too

Our landscape is full of waterways: lagoons, lakes, and rivers stretching hundreds of miles. If freshwater fishing appeals, you will happily discover snook (the IGFA record holder), tarpon (as large as 200 pounds), and guapote (a leopard spotted cichlid). The waters here are teeming with fish inland and offshore, a true anglers paradise.

Is it any surprise Costa Rica reigns supreme in reputation as a sport fishing destination?
