Big Ben Sport Fishing And Charters invites you for a memorable fishing trip on the pristine waters of Ixtapa Zihuatanejo! Team up with Captain Benigno Guzmán and let him take you to your next prized catch with the help of his experienced crew.
Come aboard a 36’ Chris-Craft center console and head out to the most productive fishing grounds. The boat is fitted with a 450 HP Caterpillar engine that will take you to the bite and on board, there’s all necessary fishing equipment for a successful trip. The vessel is spacious enough to sit up to 8 people. If you’d like to do some fly fishing, arrange it with your guide beforehand and he’ll prepare the equipment.
You’ll have Shimano, Avet, and Penn rods and reels on board, as well as an assortment of lures that will get the attention of your prey. There’s a toilet on the boat, so even on full day trips, you’ll travel in comfort. Whenever you need help or fishing advice, the first mate will be at your disposal, and tips are a great way to show your appreciation for his hard work.
When it comes to what you could catch, it all comes down to the time you have and your fishing preferences. On 4-hour trips, you’ll cast your line up to one mile from the shore and target Narrow-Barred Mackerel, Bonito, and Roosterfish.
Ready for some adrenaline-inducing fishing fights? Book the 7-hour trip and head out up to 15 miles, where you’ll prowl the fishing grounds for Sailfish, Striped and Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna. This is the right choice for all anglers looking to hook their next record fish.
You’re welcome to keep whatever you’d like, and the crew will clean and fillet it for you, and what you don’t want, you can either release and leave it to the crew. Capt. Ben will provide drinks, and all you have to do is pack some snacks and food.

Full Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing on October 9, 2024
Very good communication in English, we spoke many times before fishing, all questions were answered. Boat is big, clean restroom, good equipment. Team (Felix and Daniel) are helpful and professional. We catch 5 Tunas (Bonitos) and one Mahi-Mahi. For sure we were able to catch more fish but didn't need it.

We had a great time with Big Ben Charters. The day was beautiful and the staff, boat and experience were great. We caught Tuna, Mackerel, Mahi Mahi and a 40" needle fish. Our family had a great time and we look forward to doing it again in the future!
