## Who they are

Adventure Tours Costa Rica has been running since 2009. It's an American-owned company with staff from Costa Rica and North America, and it works as both a licensed travel agency and a tour operator. Its ATV, canopy and boat tours leave from the office in Barrio Copey, at the north end of [Jacó](/activities-in-jaco/), and its fishing desk books charter boats at [Los Sueños Resort and Marina](/los-suenos-marina-and-resort/), about 10 minutes north.

What sets it apart is the fishing report. Andrés Céspedes writes up the Los Sueños and Jacó fishing on the 1st and 15th of every month, and the newest we read was dated November 15, 2026. It's an easy way to see what's biting before you book. It's one of the outfits we picked in our [complete guide to fishing the Central Pacific](/central-pacific-fishing-guide/).

## The boats

The company lists 9 Los Sueños boats on its charter page, each with its own captain and crew:

- **Big boats for up to 8:** a 52-foot Hatteras and a 50-foot Maverick.
- **Offshore boats for up to 6:** a 43-foot Maverick, the 43-foot Maverick Fire, a 37-foot Hatteras, a 36-foot Custom Marcam and a 34-foot L&H Walkaround Express. Its reports also mention a 38-foot Custom D&A.
- **Smaller boats:** a 32-foot Maverick for up to 5, which its report suggests for inshore days, and a 28-foot Shamrock Express for up to 4.

The 52-foot Hatteras is the most comfortable of the bunch. It was renovated in late 2017, runs on twin 900 hp Yanmars at up to 24 knots, and has air conditioning throughout, 3 staterooms, 2 heads with hot showers, a fighting chair and electric dredge reels. It can take 1 to 8 anglers on a day trip or a 2 to 3 day overnight trip. Captain Bryan, who grew up in Costa Rica and has fished these waters for more than 15 years, runs it with his mate Juan Diego.

## What you'll fish for, and when

Most trips run from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a full day or 7 a.m. to noon for a half day, and half days are inshore only. Offshore, boats usually run 20 to 40 miles out for [sailfish](/the-pacific-sailfish/), marlin, [dorado](/the-dolphin-fish-mahi-mahi/), yellowfin tuna and wahoo. Inshore, the rocky points near Herradura give [roosterfish](/roosterfish-the-majestic-fish-of-costa-rica/), [snapper](/snappers-in-costa-rica/), grouper, amberjack and jacks.

On this coast, sailfish are best from December to April, with the build-up starting in late November. Marlin, tuna and wahoo peak in the green season from about May to August, and dorado run from July into December. There's also a combo trip: half a day fishing, then the rest of the day on a beach. Our [Central Pacific sailfish season guide](/central-pacific-sailfish-season/) explains the winter bite.

## Release practice

Billfishing here is catch and release, as Costa Rican law requires, and the company's report notes that captains rig circle hooks so sailfish and marlin go back in good shape. Our guide to [releasing a billfish](/how-to-release-a-billfish/) covers what good handling looks like.
