Spend the day offshore, targeting monster pelagic species like Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna. During the summer months, DreamWork Sportfishing also offers half day inshore charters, targeting Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Jacks, and other great table and game species.

The vessel you will be fishing aboard is the aptly named 'Dreamwork'. Custom built in 2013, this 36' flybridge boat is designed and rigged for awesome offshore battles. She comes equipped with GPS and fishfinder to track down the best spots, a livewell full of fresh bait for inshore fishing, and tuna tubes for anglers with bigger fish to fry.

Once hooked on that fish of your dreams, the vessel's fighting chair will let you hold your ground in long drawn-out fights, while her tournament-grade tackle will make sure you bring in your fish. Choose between light and heavy tackle to best target your chosen species, with the option to troll, bottom fish, pop, jig, and spin to bring it in. Fly anglers are also welcome to bring their favorite fly fishing gear.

There is no better location to get you on that fish of your dreams, and no better place than the Dreamwork to do it. So climb aboard and get ready for the battle of a lifetime!

    3 great Sailfish! Bucket list trip!

    Full Day Trip on January 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    I brought my dad down to Costa Rica to go after his first billfish. We booked 2 full day trips with different captains in January which is supposed to be great fishing. On our first day out with a different boat, we spent 9 hours on the water and didn't have a single bite...never touched the pole. The Dreamworks Crew worked tirelessly to put us on the fish and it was a really special moment for us getting to see my dad reel in a 90 inch sailfish. Not 5 minutes later, we had another good sized sail on the line which I got to fight to the boat. And another my dad and I teamed up on about 30 minutes later. What a great experience! We had an absolute blast and Nono, David and Bernie went out of their way to ensure we not just caught fish but had a great experience on the boat. Highly recommend the trip, the boat and the crew!

    Fantastic Boat & Crew

    Full Day Trip on February 28, 2026 • 4 adults

    This was our last fishing trip we made on our vacation to Los Suenos and I knew this boat would deliver. The guys on the DreamWork were not only fun to fish with, but they made it look easy! It is a single screw boat (1 engine) which is great for raising billfish cause it has a clean propwash. We went 3/4 on Sailfish and got a bonus Dorado. My dad, gf, and I could not have asked for a better trip! Highly recommend the Dream Work and next time we are at Los Suenos we will be fishing with them again!

    Full Day Trip on September 30, 2026 • 2 adults

    Came out for Sailfish, fishing was slow for all the boats as we were offseason and overheated Super Nino waters Crew worked their ass off, constantly checking/changing baits, Captain had us on the fish, ended up with a 90+ in sailfish and some Mahi Mahi highly recommend

    Great Crew

    Full Day Trip on April 13, 2026 • 6 adults

    The DreamWorks boat is top notch and the crew amazing. We went out on a very slow day. They kept after it and we finally landed a 100” sail in the last 30 min of the day. Only negative I can say is the boat says it has AC but it doesn’t. We brought wives that weren’t thrilled about that. Other than that it was great.

    The crew were great! The equipment was very good. But for the price paid, I was not too happy. We caught one sailfish, but thats not why I was unimpressed. For paying $1800 for a 5 hour trip, I expected to have a better experience. They did not discuss what fish we wanted to go for, they just assumed we wanted sailfish and took us accordingly. The boat was nice, but I saw much nicer boats around that I think charged less. Plus with that price and the owner puts a sign on the boat that most of the crew’s pay comes from tips and 20% is standard… pay your staff more and dont make us feel guilty. We paid a lot for the trip, so pay the crew who make the experience happen.
