Frequently Asked Questions
The best fishing areas in Costa Rica depend on the species you want to target. Tarpon are found only on the Caribbean coast, while billfish such as marlin and sailfish thrive in the Pacific. Our location near Los Sueños is an ideal fishing spot because we avoid the heavy northern winds, offering calmer waters and excellent offshore conditions perfect for a successful day of angling. The southern regions also have good fishing, though they are mostly limited to smaller lodges rather than full marinas.
Fishing in Costa Rica is excellent year-round, but the best month depends on the species you’re after. For example, sailfish peak in the Pacific between December and April, while marlin are strongest from September to November. For detailed planning, check our sportfishing calendar to see seasonal availability by species.
Yes, all tourists must have a fishing license. Licenses can be purchased at the INCOPESCA office located at the marina or online through the official INCOPESCA website.
Fishing licenses are issued per person:
- $16.95 for one week
- $28.25 for one month
- $56.50 for one year
Yes, you can bring fish back to the United States if it is fully frozen and packed in your checked luggage with no ice. Always check with your airline for additional restrictions on frozen food items. At U.S. Customs, you must declare the fish when entering the country.
Fishing at Los Sueños is productive all year. The “best” time depends on the species you want to catch, but anglers can look forward to strong fishing opportunities in every season.
