About
We work hard at making your day on the water the best it can be. I encourage you to read all our reviews then call us. Our fishing trips are the best there are in Costa Rica! Our crew is bi-lingual in Spanish and English and work hard to provide every client on every trip, a fantastic fishing experience. We pick up our clients on the beach, usually in front of their hotel, using our small skiff. We will pick up clients anywhere from just north of the Playa Flamingo Marina Beach to the 4 Seasons on the tip of the Papagayo Peninsula.

Fished with the #dreamteam on 2 full day charters in January and early February and had a great time!!!
Captain Angel, and the deckhands Josh and Brian did a fantastic job of putting us on the fish!!!! The first trip out with my son and son-in-law was the most action we have ever had, landing 9 mahi and the catch and release of a sailfish! Never a boring moment with that much action!!!!
Trip 2 garnered us a “Hat Trick” with a wahoo, mahi and sailfish!
The cooler is always stocked with ice cold Moosehead and other tasty beverages and the great lunch and sashimi on the ride back in is a great touch!!!!
Looking forward to next year when we can do it all over again!!!
Thanks for an amazing 2 days on the water gentlemen!!!!!

Fished with Dream On for two full-day charters last week and had such an amazing time! We have fished with this crew every year for the past eight years and we cannot say enough about them. Captain Angel at the helm and crew Brian & Josh worked the back deck with such skill, experience and professionalism we put several fish in the box both days including delicious MahiMahi that we took back to our hotel to cook up for dinner. Topping the second day was two beauty sailfish! We have never been disappointed with our bookings and will continue to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great day of fishing. Thanks again Rick - you’ve got an absolute gem of an operation. See you soon!

This is the charter you want to pick. Very nice and helpful. They were constantly cleaning and getting gear prepared. I never seen crew clean so much. And when you are on the fish they make sure everything is out of your way. Best fishing trip I’ve been on. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Great experience. Captain Angel and his crew did a fantastic job. I have been on several Fishing Charters in the past and these Guy's are First rate. We caught Mahi, Tuna, Sail Fish and a 200 lbs Striped Marlin. I will be back.

We had such a great time out on the water with the Dream on crew. Angel and Brian were an awesome crew. We had 2 kids with us so we fished for an hours two and then anchored and swam to a private beach! We had the perfect day. It was beautiful. We would highly recommend Dream on!

A group of girlfriends and I had an absolute blast on DreamOn. Rick was very responsive and friendly throughout the booking process. Angel and Brian were extremely patient and knowledgeable on the water. It was so nice to be out on the water and just relax and be taken care of! Highlight of our vacation!

We have fished in many destinations, and I have to say, this was a purely fantastic experience from start to finish! Rick made the booking process easy. Our crew was at our beach right on time to pick us up. They were fantastic with our young kids, and even on a slower fishing day, everyone got to reel one in. As a family, I highly recommend the beachside bbq they include in the full day package. Great food and snorkeling in incredibly clear waters. I will recommend to all of my friends visiting Costa Rica!

We were looking for a low key family adventure and this exceeded our expectations!! We were picked up at the beach, warmly welcomed aboard Dream On by Captain Angel, Mario and Bryam. We fished our way to some great swim spots. Bryam even got in the water with the kids, ages 9 and 12 to show them the best snorkel spots. Mario made sashimi and carpaccio with our catches. Even the locals I talked to agree, Dream On is The Best in Costa Rica!

Another AMAZING day on the water with Dream On!! Brian was very patient and thought my nephews how to rig up. Super Mario was on point with the lines and Angel did an excellent job navigating us around beach hopping. We were a group of 5 - 3 adults and 2 boys aged 10 & 12. It was their first time fishing in the ocean and they absolutely loved it. We went to 2 beaches and snorkelled, ate sashimi, burritos and fresh fruit. They had water, sodas and Moosehead beer! The crew was very friendly, spoke English and catered to our every ask. It was the highlight of the family vacation. I would always recommend Dream On!

Hi there!
Do you do beach pick up from the Dreams resort? We are a family of 5 with young adults looking for a fun day of fishing, lunching, and fun experiences. We have done a fair amount of fishing and looking to catch the big ones..mahi or sail fish. Which boat tour do you recommend?
Thanks so much!

Hi! Rick here from Dream On Sport Fishing. For my guests staying at Dreams I offer ground transportation to Playas del Coco included in the price. Dreams is quite far by boat and over a stretch of bad water. From the sound of your group I would go with our flagship, 35' Cabo Express, Dream On. Please mail me for more information. Pura Vida!

“Planning a trip to Costa Rica that will include a day of sport fishing. I would like to pursue a trophy fish and have it mounted by a taxidermist. But I don’t want to do this with a threatened species. The question is are marlin or sailfish plentiful enough that it is not unethical to take one for this purpose? If so, are there local taxidermists on the Pacific coast who do good work and ship the finished product?”

Hi Randall, Rick here from Dream On. I have several mounts made by a replica artist in Colorado. He is also a regular guest aboard Dream On and a is all about conservation. He ships worldwide and duplicated your fish through photos and measurements. These replicas are perfect and last forever where natural mounts tend to get skin shrinkage, peel and lift.

Hi Jody,
We haven't been able to match anyone up since we pick up on the beach where our clients are staying ... maybe he can make some friends once you're here and set up a trip .. where will you be staying?
