The boat you'll be fishing from is a 40' Astillero Manzanillo, offshore sportfisher, powered by a 350 HP Caterpillar engine.

Live bait is not used but you'll have access to an assortment of artificial lures and frozen bait. The main fishing techniques employed on charter trips are bottom and deep-sea fishing.

The captain will provide each group with 24 cold beers, 2 liters of soda, 5 liters of water, 25 toasts, vegetables to make ceviche or sashimi, and a cooler with ice bar. You have the freedom to bring on board any additional food and drinks you'd like.

    Perfect trip with Lori 3!

    4 Hours Traditional Trip on December 3, 2025

    We had an amazing 4-hour trip with Lori 3 fishing! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Captain Ramon and hand Jorge were excellent, Ramon has great English and took the time to explain the different options and trade-offs between focusing nearshore (smaller fish but more chance of hits) or in open water at the start of the trip. They adjusted the lines throughout the trip depending on what we were going after and when we had fish on the lines, supported us throughout. Thanks to them we were able to land a blue marlin, a sailfish and a bonito - and had a lot of fun! We understood that there’s not a great chance of landing a marlin over only 4 hours, but figured we would go for it anyways and we’re glad we did. We also saw whales, lots of dolphins, and a sea turtle. Lori 3 was also very easy to communicate with ahead of time, answered all our questions, and was flexible on timing - which was super important to us as we were in Manzanillo on a cruise ship and had only a limited time in port. For anyone who may be coming to Manzanillo on a cruise ship, don’t hesitate, Lori 3 is docked just a few minutes walk from the cruise port! All in all, it was a great experience and the Lori 3 team was very warm, fun, and most of all, professional!

    A dream pelagic fishing trip

    10 Hours Traditional Trip on August 19, 2024 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Went out with Lori III for a 10 hour trip. Skipper and crew were top notch and worked like a well oiled machine. We caught double header sailfish within 2 hours. Then a dream came true for me hooking a 120-150 pound blue marlin. Fought it for 40 minutes watching multiple tail walks and jumps. Landed the fish and accomplished a dream of mine. The crew made crevice on the boat which was to die for! Will absolutely be back and absolutely recommend booking with Lori III!!

    Four hour trip 10 miles out into the Pacific Ocean

    4 Hours Traditional Trip on January 3, 2023 • 1 adult

    When we arrived at the dock the crew had the boat ready to push off for a great fishing experience! Captain Ramon was very informative about the surrounding area and the fish we could catch. As soon as a fish took the bait the crew handed me the reel, I was already in the chair, and started reeling in. I saw the mahi-mahi jump out of the water and got so excited! Captain Ramon yelled he’s a big one. It took me awhile to bring him in but it was a great experience! The fish weighed 40 lbs., the Captain said my fish was a winner! After pictures the crew cleaned, filleted and bagged him. I can’t wait to share him with friends and family when I take the meat home. Great fishing trip. Thank you Captain Ramon and crew!

    One of the best experiences I’ve ever had with such professional guides. I can see why the reviews for Lori III are so high—they truly lived up to the praise. From the moment we arrived, Ramon Sr., Ramon Jr., Jorge, and Fabian made sure we would leave with unforgettable memories—and we certainly did. We started catching fish as soon as we left the shore. The sandwich was delicious, and the fresh ceviche made from the fish we caught was incredible. We ended the trip with seven yellowfin tuna! I genuinely feel like I made friends with the entire crew. An amazing experience all around. Thank you, Ramon and crew, for such an unforgettable trip. —Efrain Yanez
