The captain is inviting anglers of all ages and skill levels to join one of his exciting trips, venturing up to 30 miles offshore and targeting some of the most prized species swimming in the local waters!

The boat you'll be fishing from is a 40' Astillero Manzanillo, offshore sportfisher, powered by a 350 HP Caterpillar engine. Its maximum capacity is 8 anglers, but how many can fish at the same depends on many factors.

The boat is equipped with navigation and communication electronics and all the necessary safety equipment. The captain is CPR trained and there is a flushable toilet on board.

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!

Had a great time
5 Hours Traditional Trip on March 23, 20266 adults

We had a fantastic day. The crew were the best. We didn't catch any huge fish, but we kept busy catching bait fish and we did take home one Mahi Mahi for dinner. The crew was awesome and we had a good time.

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Response from Charter operator

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic day out on the water with us. While the "big ones" can be elusive sometimes, we're glad the crew kept the action going with the bait fish and that you were able to land a delicious Mahi Mahi for dinner. There is nothing quite like fresh catch on the table!
