Choosing a boat

Picking your boat in three steps

Start with how many people are fishing, since that rules out most boats right away. Then compare comfort and features, and pick a date.

1

Count your group

4–5 guests suit the 32–36 ft boats, 6 the 42–45s, and 7–8 the 50-footers.

2

Compare comfort

A Seakeeper means a steadier ride. A tower helps spot fish. Two bathrooms help big groups.

3

Send your date

Tell us your top choices and we’ll confirm which boats are available that day.

About Los Sueños Marina

Every boat here leaves from Los Sueños Marina on Herradura Bay, a few minutes from Jacó and roughly 90 minutes from SJO airport. Deep water starts close to shore, so you spend more of the day fishing and less of it getting there.

  • Blue water: billfish (sailfish and marlin), plus yellowfin and dorado.
  • Near the coast: roosterfish, snapper, jacks and mackerel.
  • All billfish are released, and each angler needs a Costa Rica fishing license.
  • Your quote lists what’s covered: food, drinks, license, tax and crew tip.
