About this experience
We have 15+ years experience in the area and really enjoy putting our clients on the fish. We will take you along the breathtaking coastline and rugged rock islands like Negritos and Isla Tortuga. Thomas is a marine biologist and he will point out local wildlife that we come across. We regularly spot and can get up close and personal with dolphins, turtles, various sea birds and in the season, whales as well. You will be surrounded by amazing nature and sea creatures as you are enjoying the thrill of fishing these tropical waters.
The fishing grounds are close by and the variety of fish is incredible. Just a few minutes from the departure point it is possible to catch fish up to 300 lbs! We also care about the environment and encourage catch and release but you are free to take a couple back for the BBQ:-)
This trip is for anyone who enjoys being on the water and fish, from novices to seasoned veterans. We are also family friendly and love showing children the art of fishing.
