Crush Em • Los Sueños
Crush Em is a 48-foot Ocean sportfishing yacht departing from Los Sueños Marina in Playa Herradura on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast.
This is a substantially larger platform than the 30- to 38-foot boats commonly used around Los Sueños. The extra size provides more cockpit space, a wider beam and significantly more interior comfort during a long offshore fishing day.
Powered by twin Cummins diesel engines, Crush Em combines a serious sportfishing setup with three air-conditioned staterooms, two full bathrooms, a large salon and a full galley. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Crush Em is designed for anglers who want serious offshore fishing but do not want to spend the day on a small open boat.
At 48 feet, guests have considerably more room to move around, more interior space and multiple areas to relax during the run offshore or between bites.
Crush Em remains a serious sportfishing yacht, equipped for Costa Rica’s major offshore species.
The interior is where Crush Em separates itself from smaller Los Sueños fishing boats.
Guests can step into a large air-conditioned salon during the day, while three staterooms provide additional private space and two bathrooms make the boat particularly comfortable for families and larger groups.
A full galley adds another level of convenience during an eight- to nine-hour offshore fishing day.
Crush Em is not being positioned as a short-trip fishing boat. Its advantage is the ability to give your group a comfortable platform for a complete offshore fishing day.
Offshore fishing from Los Sueños can involve long runs to productive blue water. Once there, conditions, bait and fish movement determine the best strategy.
A full day gives the captain time to locate productive water and stay with the bite rather than fishing against the clock.
Crush Em is primarily an offshore boat, making Costa Rica’s major pelagic species the focus.
One of the signature sportfish of Costa Rica’s Central Pacific.
A trophy big-game target and one of the reasons anglers choose larger offshore boats.
Powerful pelagic fish frequently found around bait and dolphin schools.
Fast, colorful and excellent table fare.
Extremely fast pelagic predators encountered seasonally.
Additional billfish opportunities vary with season and offshore conditions.
Another name for mahi-mahi and a favorite Costa Rica offshore target.
The captain can adapt the day’s plan based on what is currently producing.
No Half Day. No shortened offshore trip. Crush Em is offered as a full-day fishing charter.
The full-day trip is designed primarily for offshore anglers pursuing sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo and other pelagic species.
Give the captain enough time to locate productive water instead of racing the clock.
Sailfish and marlin are offshore targets where extra fishing time can matter.
Tuna fishing may require covering water to locate birds, dolphins and active bait.
A large salon, A/C, staterooms and bathrooms make a long day much easier.
More space allows families and private groups to spread out during the trip.
Crush Em’s greatest advantages make the most sense on a complete offshore fishing day.
Crush Em operates from Los Sueños Marina in Playa Herradura, one of Costa Rica’s best-known sportfishing marinas. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
The location gives the crew direct access to Central Pacific offshore fishing grounds while remaining convenient for guests staying in Los Sueños, Herradura, Jaco and Playa Hermosa.
Once offshore, the plan can change according to bait, currents, water conditions and recent fishing activity.
Explore Los Sueños FishingYou want the comfort of a larger yacht without giving up serious offshore sportfishing capability.
You only want to fish for four or five hours. Crush Em does not offer Half-Day fishing charters.
If you primarily want a short inshore trip for roosterfish or snapper, a smaller boat will usually make considerably more sense.
We can compare the Los Sueños fleet and recommend a smaller boat if your fishing plans do not require a 48ft yacht.
