Website Design for Los Sueños & Herradura Businesses
Websites for charter operators, yacht management, condo rentals, and real estate at Costa Rica's premier marina
A sportfishing client planning a Costa Rica trip is spending $15,000 to $40,000 across a week of boat days, accommodation, and travel for a group. They research obsessively — boat specs, captain records, tournament results, tackle, cockpit photos. Then they land on a charter site with six photos and a contact form, and they book through the broker who at least gave them a booking button.
The Best Fishing Fleet in Central America, Sold Through Middlemen
Los Sueños has genuine world-class infrastructure — a 200-slip marina, a serious tournament calendar, and a fleet of sportfishing boats with captains who have been running these grounds for decades. The billfish numbers are among the best anywhere on the planet. And the booking layer is almost entirely brokered. Aggregators and charter brokers own the search results, take fifteen to twenty-five percent, and hand the client to whichever boat suits their margin. The captain with thirty years and a wall of tournament wins is functionally invisible online, competing on a broker's listing page against boats half as capable. The fix is not complicated. A serious site with real boat specs, captain and crew credentials, tournament record, honest trip descriptions, and a booking system converts a client who was already searching for exactly this. In a market where a single week is worth $30,000, that is the highest-return build available anywhere on this coast.

Broker Bookings Versus Direct
Through Charter Brokers and Aggregators
Direct Through Your Own Site
Built for How Anglers Actually Research
A serious sportfishing client reads specs. Hull, length, engines, range, cockpit configuration, outriggers, tackle, teaser setup, crew experience, and above all recent catch reports and tournament results. This is a technical audience that judges credibility on detail. We build sites that give them all of it — structured boat pages, crew biographies, a maintained catch log, and tournament history — alongside the photography that sells the week to the rest of the group. Fast, mobile-first, and with booking and deposit collection one tap away.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a charter website cost?
A focused site starts at $4,000. Full charter platforms with fleet pages, catch logs, booking, and deposit collection run $8,000 to $18,000. At $3,000 a day, replacing broker commission on a handful of trips per month covers the build within a season.
Brokers fill most of our calendar. Why build direct?
Broker business is real and costs you fifteen to twenty-five percent of every day, and the broker owns the client. Direct booking does not replace them — it adds the anglers searching right now who cannot find you, and it converts your repeat groups into relationships you control.
Can you handle deposits and multi-day packages?
Yes. Fishing weeks are usually multi-day packages for groups, with deposits, crew gratuity guidance, and coordination with accommodation. We build that properly rather than treating a charter like a single-item booking.
Do you work with the accommodation and real estate side too?
Frequently. Los Sueños is a closed ecosystem where fishing, rentals, and property sales feed each other — the group that charters for a week often rents inside the resort, and some eventually buy. We build for those connections deliberately.
Zones desservies
We work with businesses across the resort and the surrounding area — Los Sueños Marina, the resort residences and condos, Herradura village, Playa Herradura, and the corridor toward Jacó.
