🐬 Offshore Fishing: Deep-Sea Thrills
Los Sueños charters typically run 20–40 miles offshore to reach deep ocean currents where large pelagic species roam. These fertile waters attract some of the most sought-after gamefish in the world.
Top Offshore Species
- Blue Marlin
- Black Marlin
- Striped Marlin
- Pacific Sailfish
- Yellowfin Tuna
- Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)
- Wahoo
During peak season (Dec–Apr), boats may release 10–20+ sailfish per day, showcasing why Los Sueños is known as the billfish capital of the Pacific.
💡 Tip: Let the crew handle the hookup! Circle hooks work best when the fish takes the line before pressure is applied.
