Sandy beaches, tropical palms, and blue seas. Sounds idyllic, doesn’t it? The only thing that can improve this picturesque vacation destination is exciting fishing. Luckily, Aries Sport Fishing does just that, and they invite you to join them!

You’ll embark on this angling adventure on board their 35’ Bertram. She’s very spacious and can easily handle you and 7 of your fishing buddies with you – or you can bring your entire family with you. She was launched in 1985 and is still in immaculate condition, a testament to the quality of the build and the care of the crew.

The Pacific side of Mexico is home to some of the best fishing on that ocean, for good reason – the really deep waters start just 20 miles away from the coast. If you’re looking for fun action and tasty catches shorter trips are perfect for you. You’ll go after Bonito, Spanish Mackerel, and Yellowtail Amberjack, as well as Tuna.

The blue waters are where the actions heats up, red-hot. Black Marlin, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, to name a few of the species you can target here. The main technique used on all trips is trolling – the boat is equipped with outriggers to extend your reach and allow for more lines in the water.

Kids are more than welcome on nearshore trips but the captain doesn’t recommend them on longer ones. The charter will supply you with water, beer, and soft drinks.

Whether you want to spice up your next vacation or you’re chasing the best bite around any shore, booking a trip with Aries Sport Fishing is the right move!

A fantastic day on the water! Our Captain and Omar found the fish and hooked them hard for us. We caught 4 beautiful Mahi Mahi and 2 Sailfish, plus a few fun Bonito on the way out. Answered all our questions, gave good instructions and helped us out every step of the way.

Nice day on the water

VERIFIED

It's hard to write a great review when we caught one Bonita and no other bites. Especially when another boat comes in with 2 sails and a marlin. I thought the captain and mate were fine. Baits were changed often enough IMO. Boat was nice and enough room for 6 of us. Our family still enjoyed the day and I still tipped what I thought was generous.

The crew of the Ariel was great. We did a 4 hour trip and the reels were kept busy thanks to the experienced crew. We caught 12 Makarels and had 3 filleted and brought back for a great ceviche at our resort
