Explore the northern waters of the Gulf of California and join La Princesa Fishing Trips! This fishing charter operates out of Puerto Penasco and runs trips from February till the end of October. Your guide and host, Captain Francisco welcomes anglers of all skill levels and ages. All trips are family-friendly, so don't hesitate to bring your kids and let them catch their first fish here.

You'll be fishing on a 27' custom built center console that accommodates up to 8 guests. There's enough seating space and fishing equipment for everyone to fish at the same time. This also depends on the technique you're using - if you're trolling, you'll need to take turns with rods, to avoid tangled lines.

The boat has all necessary navigational and safety equipment. She's powered by a 150 HP Honda engine, which can reach the speed of 20 knots. The boat also features a toilet and a cooler for the catch.

You'll explore local flats, reefs, and offshore spots, where you'll have the chance to target a variety of fish species. Some of the fish that can end up in your cooler are Halibut, White Seabass, Spanish Mackerel, Bonefish, Skipjack Tuna, Shark, and many more.

The preparations are very simple - just pack your sun protection and bring a camera. Everything else is covered by the crew, including your fishing licenses, equipment, snacks, drinks, and catch cleaning service.

La Princesa Fishing Trips offers a fun way to spend your day in Puerto Penasco. Join and let's go fishing!

Fantastic Experience!
6 Hour Trip on July 21, 20265 adults

Our fishing trip with Captain Francisco was nothing short of incredible from start to finish! He made the entire experience seamless with his stellar communication and helpful attitude, ensuring everyone on board felt comfortable and ready to reel in a big one. Francisco clearly knows these waters inside and out, guiding us to several distinct fishing spots throughout the day so we could target a wide variety of species. Thanks to his expert guidance, enthusiasm, and top-tier hospitality, we walked away with unforgettable memories and amazing fish! I will 100% be fishing with La Princesa Fishing Trips again.

Looking for the big ones
6 Hour Trip on June 1, 20263 adults

Today was a beautiful day to be on the water. We fished a reef that he had caught a 70 lb Grouper on the day before. Fishing was slow because we were fishing for quality and not quantity. No Grouper on the first stop but caught several very large Corvina (sea trout), some smaller bait fish, and a couple nice Pargo (snapper). Our second move produced a couple Pargo and small bait fish. Our third stop produced a couple Pargo, one Grouper about 20 lbs, and missed two very good Grouper bites. We had a great day fishing with Francisco and his son Aldo. I would recommend a trip on the Princesa to anyone wanting to enjoy a day of fishing while in Puerto Penasco. Good captain, nice boat , and a good time.

Heavy seas!
6 Hour Trip on April 22, 20264 adults

According to the weather report we were supposed to have a great day on the water. I guess Mother Nature didn't read the forecast. We only traveled about 4 miles due to the increasing breeze and waves. Fishing was pretty slow and Captain Francisco moved a few times, trying to find some active fish. We finally found a spot the Sea Trout were actively feeding. We decided to head in a little early due to the wind and rough sea. Captain Francisco and the Princesa got us back safely through some large white capped waves. We were never in any danger or concerns with Captain Francisco at the helm. I would recommend a fishing trip with Captain Francisco any time you are in the Rocky Point area.

Amazing Day!
6 Hour Trip on March 22, 20264 adults1 child

My wife and 3 teens went out with Franscisco today and had the most amazing day. He knew the area so well. We were pulling trigger fish like crazy. He kept the hooks covered in bait and the fish were biting like mad. During the day as we went to other spots we saw dolphins, 2 whales, and even a group of sea lions in the open ocean. Francisco had some burritos for us as well as some waters and juices. At the end of the trip he cleaned the fish and gave us some prep tips. The fillets were put into a zipper bag which made it easy to take to our Air B&B for later frying. This was the most amazing day. I cannot recommend Francisco enough. Thank you!
