Wences Team Sport Fishing has been operating in the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo area for over 30 years, guiding groups to the fish of a lifetime in the deep, blue waters of Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Spend your day battling monster Marlin, tasty Tuna, and a ton of other sportfishing favorites with a polite, experienced crew and a skilled, friendly captain. In short, enjoy the perfect fishing trip.

The “Sea Horse” is a 26’ Imemsa boat built in 2015. The vessel combines the open space and speed of a panga with the enclosed cabin and comfort of a sportfisher. She has a head for extra comfort on long trips offshore, and cruises at over 30 knots to make sure you waste no time getting to the bluewaters.

You will be heading up to 20 miles out in search of huge fish. Once you get there, the Sea Horse’s GPS and fishfinder will sound out the waters and lock onto the captain’s favorite fishing spots. The boat’s outriggers will spread your lines far and wide, and her tuna tubes and livewell will keep your bait fighting fit, however big it is!

And it would need to fight pretty hard to escape these pelagic predators. Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin can all be found offshore, as can Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Yellowfin Tuna.

You don’t have to stick to the deep sea fishing grounds, either. The shallows are teeming with hard-fighting Roosterfish and Jacks, cruising the bays and river mouths in search of a fight.

You can spend your day fishing with either conventional or fly fishing gear. You will have a range of lures and flies to play with, and the captain can also stock live bait for a small fee.

Don’t fancy fishing all day? No problem! Book a “Fish & Snorkel” trip and split your time between hard-fought hookups and relaxing dips among colorful reefs and tropical fish.

Wences Team Sport Fishing is tournament-ready, family-friendly, English-speaking, and very customer-focused. So what are you waiting for? Head to Zihuatanejo and start catching some awesome fish!

Member since March 2018
Native of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, I started to have contact with the sea since I was 7 years old, I have had the fortune to experience all types of fishing in the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo area. I have shared worked with the best fishermen in this area, and I have had the fortune to practice these experiences from Ensenada, Baja California to the wonderful waters of Costa Rica. I continue and I am still passionate about sport fishing.
