Dream Raiser
Dream Raiser Sportfishing operates out of the exclusive Los Sueños Marina in Herradura, Costa Rica. They offer a choice of half-day and full-day trips, targeting the very best fish in every habitat around.
Spend a few hours fishing inshore for Roosterfish, Snapper, Jacks, Grouper, and more for a great day on the water without the long trip times. Up for more of an adventure? Head offshore for the chance to target monster Blue, White, and Striped Marlin, as well as Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi.
You will be spending your trip on the ”Dream Raiser”, a 35’ Cabo Express sportfishing boat with room aboard for up to six guests. She is powered by twin Cat 450s up to a respectable cruising speed of 23 knots and is loaded with tech and equipment for once you get to your destination.
The vessel is equipped with GPS and a fishfinder to get you fishing in the right place, outriggers to target fast-moving fish once you get there, and a fighting chair to make sure you bring them in once hooked. She also has a livewell to keep your bait fresh if you choose to use it.
From trolling artificials for Marlin to bottom fishing cut bait for big Grouper and Snapper, you will have everything you will need to bring in your chosen species. You can catch live bait as part of your trip or buy it beforehand for around $4 a fish, giving you even more time to target big Roosterfish in the shallows.
Whatever you do, you will have an awesome boat, a skilled, local crew, and some of the world’s best waters to fish in. This really is the trip of a lifetime, so climb aboard and get ready to make some memories!

Great crew, caught lots of fish
Fish is a chance you take going out whether you catch fish or not. This crew worked extremely hard to do that. We caught 25+ yellow fin tuna and a 400 lb marlin. They fileted all our yellow fin and we did a catch and release on the marlin. The crew gave us drinks (water, soft drinks, and beer), lunch (chicken wings, beans, rice, potato salad), and sliced some of our tuna with avocado, tuna, and other seasonings (pretty awesome). We were one of the first ones out of the marina and to the spots (we showed up early). The other charters followed our lead well into our catches as we moved from spot to spot. The deck hands and captain did an outstanding job. I'm definitely going to rebook with them when I go back to Costa Rica.

Good day fishing
Had a great time fishing. Caught a tuna, bull dolphin and a sail fish. Captain and crew worked hard to find fish. I wanted to get a marlin to check off of my bucket list but had no marlin bites. The sailfish made it all good. It was a very enjoyable day. I’ll have to come back next year.

Captain and crew were great. Landed 10 tuna 1 mahi-mahi and two sails. All in about 5 hours. Only suggestion would be better lunch.
