Inside Scatterbrain

More Comfortable for Long Fishing Days

The larger interior is one of Scatterbrain’s biggest advantages compared with smaller Los Sueños boats.

The air-conditioned salon gives guests a comfortable place to relax, while the full galley, private restrooms and sleeping quarters make the yacht capable of much longer fishing trips.

That additional space is especially valuable for families, groups of friends and anglers planning overnight or multi-day FAD trips.

  • Spacious air-conditioned salon
  • Comfortable seating
  • Full galley
  • Private restrooms
  • Sleeping accommodations
  • Good fit for longer trips

FAD & Overnight Fishing

Go Beyond a Standard Day Charter

Scatterbrain is capable of longer-range fishing, including overnight and multi-day trips to Costa Rica’s offshore FADs and seamounts.

These trips give serious marlin anglers the opportunity to fish remote blue-water areas and spend substantially more time on productive offshore grounds.

Overnight trips generally require custom planning because timing, destination and trip length vary.

  • Remote FAD fishing
  • Multi-day marlin trips
  • Overnight capability
  • Sleeping quarters
  • Full galley
  • Long-range offshore capability

Is Scatterbrain Right for You?

Who This Yacht Works Best For

Excellent Choice If…

You want serious offshore fishing but prefer the space and comfort of a larger luxury sportfisher.

  • Groups up to six anglers
  • Marlin and sailfish anglers
  • Full-day offshore fishing
  • Guests who value air conditioning
  • Families wanting more interior space
  • FAD fishing groups
  • Overnight fishing plans
  • Multi-day billfish trips

Consider Another Boat If…

Your group wants a simple lower-cost fishing trip and does not need the interior accommodations, overnight capability or space of a 52ft yacht.

For a short inshore fishing trip, a smaller center console would usually make more sense.
