Ixtapa Zihuatanejo is the diamond in the rough in the fishing world and one definitely worth exploring. Captain Benigno Guzmán of Big Ben Sport Fishing And Charters has been running charters on the local waters for 20 years and he knows a lot about how to get that fish to bite.
Whether you'd like to spend several hours on the water enjoying good small game fishing or go after the giants of the deep, Capt. Ben will know exactly where to take you. On half day excursions, you'll chase Roosterfish, Bonito, and Narrow-Barred Mackerel, and when you need a breather, hit one of the local beaches.
On full day expeditions your prey will be the majestic Marlin, Sailfish, and Tuna, just take your pick. You'll use quality Penn, Shimano, and Avet tackle to get your catch into the boat, and if you'd like to do some fly fishing, it's also possible, just let your captain know in advance.
You'll be casting your line out of a 27' super panga that is powered by a 50 HP Yamaha engine and can easily accommodate up to 4 anglers. There's a toilet on board for your convenience, as well as all the fishing gear you could possibly need. The first mate will be at your disposal at all times, and if you're happy with his services, tips are appreciated.
When you come back to land, the crew will clean and fillet everything you caught, so that you can savor it for your next meal. Alternatively, you can leave your catch to the crew if you don't want to keep it.
You'll have drinks on the boat, so you should only bring food and sunscreen. Leave everything else the capable hands of Big Ben Sport Fishing And Charters!

We had the perfect half day booked through Big Ben fishing. Our captain, Jose, picked us up at the Zihua dock and we headed out to White Rock where we had a Bonito on the line within 15 minutes. We then headed out further and got onto a couple of schools of black fin tuna which were such fun to catch and bring in, non-stop action! We also got a Jack Cravelle. Just a great day topped off by seeing a pod of dolphins putting on a spectacular show as well as a Humpback whale on the way home. Jose and his son were wonderful hosts and sure know how to find the fish. Thanks for the best day!!

Fantastic Captain and Crew. Never lost a bite! My Sailfish was so big, it ripped the reel off the rod after about 20 minutes of reeling. The Captain fixed the situation on the fly and we got the fish in the boat after about 35 minutes! Wonderful day. Will definitely be doing it again!

Had a long day on the water but if it wasn’t for Gustavo’s skill and determination we wouldn’t have hooked up on a fantastic fish to fight and reel in.. Great Day.
Ben, Captain Jose and his first mate were great! Very accommodating. Only issue I can address is the seat cushions were almost non existent. If the trip was shorter it wouldn't be bad. But after about 4 1/2 - 5 hours sitting, it got uncomfortable. Besides that we caught and ate the fish, and had a good time.
My wife and I did a full day charter with Big Bens and had an excellent time. From Ben getting us from and back to our hotel to getting us extras for our trip. The day on the water with captain Jose and his mate Jose was excellent, nice boat , gear, fishing the captain spoke very good English and worked the gear very hard to get us on our fish. A must to experience a trip with Big Bens and captain Jose.
Everything with Big Ben’s was awesome. From my first conversation with Ben, fishing with captain Jose, to our return to our hotel, was organized, with no surprises. We caught some Bonita for bait, then landed 2 beautiful sailfish. We will definitely use Big Ben on our next trip to Ixtapa. Thank you all
My two sons and I had a great half day of fishing. Caught mostly (large) needle fish, maybe 10 pounds or so. Also caught small mahi-mahi and bonito. Big Ben picked us up in a taxi and accompanied us to the fishing pier and his boat where captain Juan then took us out to the fishing grounds. Overall we paid for a half day but I felt as if we stayed out longer which was ok by us. Would recommend Big Ben and his fishing crew.

Fished with Big Ben yesterday. He picked me up from hotel on time. We got to dock and were one of first on water. Boat captain was great and had worked with Ben for 25 years. Had a knockout day of fishing!!! We had 5 fish before 9am. In all, we hooked 11 sailfish and landed 9 by 1pm. Captain kept one fish that didn't survive and provided me with fillets. Captain spoke good English and was fun. Boat was clean. Rods and reels were good. Boat was basic but had ample ice, water, non private head, shade and comfortable seating. I would not hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone who likes to catch fish. We were on fish all day long. I have fished in Costa, Guatemala, Cabo, Punta Mita and this was best day of action I have had in 20 years.

In shore live bait for rooster, no bites. No fish but great sight seeing trip. Jose was great Capt. Boat was in need of repairs. Ben was very helpful in setting up trip.
