San Carlos, SO, Mexico

Step aboard with Team Margarita Sportfishing for the experience of a lifetime in the Gulf of California. These warm waters make an excellent home for huge Billfish and many exotic and delicious species. With the help of the crew, you’ll reel in some of the biggest and most exciting fish around. With experience fishing all over the Americas, these guys know what they’re talking about.

You’ll head offshore aboard the Shaka, a 29’ Luhrs offshore sport fisher boat. With plenty of space for 6 guests, you’re in for an exciting day out with your loved ones. She has enough cover to shield you from the blistering sun and comes fitted with a functioning toilet, so all your needs are catered to. Expect to hit the sweet spots in no time thanks to the 420HP Yanmar engine on board, and get your fish on!

San Carlos is known for its fishing and diving, and you’ll get to see why. Barely a mile offshore you’ll already find beautiful Sailfish and monumental Marlin. These beasts will take all your strength to get on board but must be released back into the ocean. You’ll get your reward, though. Tag the fish and submit a form to the Billfish Foundation to receive a certificate to show off to your friends.

If you prefer your reward in the form of a hearty meal, there are plenty of delicious fish to target, too. Mahi Mahi will be biting when you’re trolling for Billfish. You can also try your hand at bottom fishing for exotic Groupers, Snappers, as well as Yellowtails. They’ll be kept on ice and then cleaned and prepared for you to take to a restaurant near the dock to have it cooked. Round off your day in true style.

Team Margarita Sportfishing is here to make your fishing dreams come true. Whatever you want, they’ve got you covered. You won’t find such plentiful waters so close to shore anywhere else, so the crew invites you aboard for a once in a lifetime opportunity. You don’t want to miss it!

6 Hour Trip

Great Boat, Crew & Tackle

VERIFIED

Our experience aboard Shaka was absolutely fantastic! The boat was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, equipped with all the tackle and gear we could possibly need. The crew was attentive from start to finish, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout the trip. They worked hard to find the fish, and even when the bite slowed down, they went above and beyond to take us to see an incredible pod of dolphins — truly a memorable moment! Everyone on board was friendly, engaging, and easy to communicate with, which made the entire outing both fun and relaxing.

Great day in San Carlos

VERIFIED

Arriving at the Marina, wasn't sure what to expect since everyone was saying fishing has been slow. 20 minutes into the trip we started catching fish! Bryan and Arturo kept us going for the 6 hours. It got slow at times, but they WORKED and kept us on the fish, lost a few, but not a bad day when everyone else on the water weren't catching much. Big time thank you to Bryan and Arturo! Will definitely be back!
