Jodee Kay Armstrong
Myself and a group of 5 friends went out an a full day tour with Dreamboats out of Los Suenos. We had an outstanding experience. Our captain drove the boat well, we felt safe and comfortable the whole trip. Our fishermen were wonderful. Early in the date we caught a couple huge billfish. Later in the day they were told that tuna we running about 15k away so we made the call to go there and try and catch some tuna. BOY did we catch tuna. As soon as we got to the area we saw 100's of dolphins jumping indicating where all the tuna were. We instantly hooked 2 tuna on the line and it didn't stop like that until we caught over 10 tuna. One of the fisherman cleaned the fish on the boat and packaged all the meat. My group took home about 15lbs of fish and we gave the rest to the crew. Overall was a wonderful day and experience. I highly recommend Dreamboats!
Best Costa Rica fishing vacation we have ever had. Dreamboats costa Rica you guys are amazing. Thank you for the amazing billfish Grand slam.

Plan Your Trip According to the Best Fishing Seasons
Costa Rica's diverse marine environments and favorable climate allow for year-round fishing, but certain seasons offer peak opportunities for specific species. Understanding the seasonal patterns can help you plan the ultimate fishing trip

January to April
This period is considered the peak season for sailfish, with large numbers of these acrobatic fish migrating through Costa Rican waters. Marlin, particularly blue and black marlin, are also abundant, along with yellowfin tuna and dorado. The dry season’s calm seas and clear skies provide perfect conditions for a memorable fishing experience.

May to August
As the green season begins, the fishing activity remains strong. Marlin, especially black and striped marlin, are prevalent during these months. Dorado and roosterfish are also commonly caught. The lush landscapes and slightly cooler temperatures make for a pleasant and productive fishing environment.
03
September to December
The transition from the green season to the dry season brings excellent opportunities for catching tuna, wahoo, and snapper. Marlin action continues to be reliable, and sailfish numbers begin to increase again towards the end of the year. This time of year, offers a mix of species and some of the best overall fishing conditions.
