Maverick Sportfishing Charters in Los Sueños
Twelve private sportfishing boats in one lineup, from a 32-foot Luhrs for four anglers to 50-foot tower boats for eight. Full-day rates from $3,800 + tax on the 45- and 50-footers. Compare them below, then tell us your date and we’ll check which ones are free.
Start with your group
Three sizes, three kinds of day
Group size narrows the choice fastest: up to five guests on the 32–36 footers, six on the 42–45 footers and eight on the four 50-footers. After that it comes down to deck layout, cabin comfort and the electronics you care about. Two of the boats, Dream II and “Los Sueños”, are Luhrs that sail alongside the Maverick boats.

Good to know
Fishing from Los Sueños Marina
All twelve boats leave from Los Sueños Marina in Playa Herradura, about five minutes from Jacó and roughly an hour and a half from San José airport. Your confirmation includes the dock and meeting time.
From the marina, blue water is a short run, so a full day gives you most of your time fishing rather than travelling.
- Offshore: sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi.
- Inshore: roosterfish, snapper and other coastal species.
- Billfish are released, and every angler needs a Costa Rica fishing license.
- Food, drinks, license, taxes and crew tip are spelled out in your quote.
