Your boat for the day is a 48’ Californian offshore sportfisher, named “Big Momma.” This large vessel is fully equipped for long, deep sea excursions, and comes with top-quality electronics, fishing tackle, and safety gear.

Your crew will supply you with state-of-the-art Penn rods and reels so you can fish the waters like a pro. You’ll also have snorkeling gear available if you’d like to take a dip and go for a swim. Snorkeling is especially a fun option for groups with kids as they’ll come face-to-gill with some incredible looking species.

After your trip, the crew will offer to clean and fillet your catch so you can take it home for a tasty treat with the family. The captain will also take care of your fishing license, so you can just come straight to the dock and get right to the fun stuff!

For Captain Jose Rodriguez, fishing is as natural as breathing. He got into fishing when he was only 14 years old, and now, 3 decades later, he's still as enthusiastic as he was when he first started. Capt. Jose is an expert in bottom fishing and he's got an awesome fleet to take his customers to some of the top fishing spots in the Sea of Cortez!
