El Jefe Boat Charters
El Jefe Boat Charters is a company dedicated to providing the best possible fishing experience out of Puerto Peñasco. Captain Jefe Cruz will do his best to make sure the trip is tailored to your individual needs and wants. Whether you're an experienced angler or someone who's just starting out, you're welcome to come aboard and have fun!
Your boat for the day is the 'El Jefe' - a 24' Bayliner Trophy walkaround that's powered by twin 115 HP Yamaha engines. Outfitted with all the necessary safety equipment and a full range of navigation electronics, she's got all you need for a safe and productive visit to the Gulf of California.
There's plenty to do in the Gulf angling-wise. Your main targets for the trip will usually be Triggerfish, Black Seabass, and the California Corbina. If you're lucky, you might run into some Red Snapper as well. Shorter trips usually involve light tackle fishing only, but Capt. Jefe also has heavier tackle to use on longer excursions.

Complimentary water, soda, and beer will be waiting for you on board, so feel free to bring some snacks if you like. Otherwise, don't forget your polarized sunglasses and get ready to make some fishing memories together!

We had a great time doing the 4 hour trip. We are a family of 4 with a 2 year old and 7 year old. We felt safe the whole time, caught lots of fish, got to drop the reel and everyone had their own pole. We even jumped in the water at one point. The captain would help as much or as little as we preferred. We caught trigger fish, mackerel, bass, and sea trout. They fileted them and we had enjoyed them that same day. They also recommended taking the fresh fish across the street to a Mexican restaurant where they could cook them and serve them to us, but we cooked them ourselves.
thanks Rachel, we are happy to have you guys aboard the boat Mad Fish. so any time we will be here.
El Jefe made sure we were comfortable and was very helpful with his knowledge and experience hear in Rocky Point! Took us to many spots and we caught alot of different types of fish! I would highly recommend this trip for families, friends, anyone who want to jave a good time and catch some fish !
hey Rodman, thanks for your time onboard the boat El Jefe, Hop to take you again soon.
Second trip with El jefe! It did not disappoint. Fished with his new captain Dino. not great English, but communication was not a problem as all we did was catch fish. I promised my friends they would catch more fish than they could catch and that happened. We booked a six hour trip and within four hours everybody was so tired from reeling in fish that we cut the trip short. El jefe's charters is the only one to use in Mexico. Signed El Guapo!
El Guapo team attack again, anytime compadre.
I took my son on his first fishing trip at sea, and Jefe was our Captain. He was very professional, patient, and knowledgeable. He knew exactly the areas he needed to be in to provide us the best opportunities for fishing. During our 4-hour trip my son and I caught over thirty fish. His boat was clean, and he kept it that way throughout the trip. He had an additional crew member, and that gentleman was extremely professional and knowledgeable as well. Overall, it was a perfect fishing day and a great first experience for my son and me. I would recommend Jefe Boat Charters to anyone.
thanks for your comments Wayne, I will be ready for your next fishing experience .

Your captain
I'm Jefe Cruz, I started as captain with tourists in 1993 Cabo San Lucas and I have been fishing Rocky Point (Puerto Peñasco) since 2008. I became a fisherman when I was a kid with my dad and my uncles. I've always been the happiest when on the water, and now I get to show other people why that's the case. You can count on me to always go the extra mile and help you make the most of your fishing trip and your visit to the beautiful Rocky Point Mexico.
