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!

We had the best day of fishing with Captain Francisco on La Princesa. We caught Red Snapper, White Sea Bass, and a few Rock Bass and Corvina. To top off the day we had 5 Grouper bites. The Grouper won today as we didn't land any but the fight was amazing. I have fished with Captain Francisco several times and it never disappoints us. I would recommend a fishing trip on La Princesa anytime you are in Rocky Point area. Every trip is different and there are never any guarantees when it comes to fishing. All I know is that Captain Francisco will do his best to get you on fish and have a great day on the water. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned vet Captain Francisco will show you a good time.

Today was one of those days a person dreams about when you go on a fishing trip. I've fished with Captain Francisco several times and each time it has been great. Today was no exception, but it was even better. From the first time we dropped our lines in the water to the last we were on fish. We caught rock bass, trout, corvina, flounder, a popano, and a few trigger fish throughout the day. Captain Francisco wasa great guide and knew when it was time to move to another spot. I would recommend fishing with Francisco and the La Princesa to anyone when in Puerto Penasco. Weather you are a seasoned fisherman or a beginner at fishing he will make your trip a success. Thank you Captain Francisco for an epic day on the water. Rich M.

My girlfriend and I went fishing with another couple who are friends of mine. We went to two spots and the fishing was a little slow. The third spot was the charm. We caught so many fish. Most of the time we had two fish on our line as we reeled them in. We couldn’t keep track who was catching the most fish. They were smaller fish but definitely big enough to eat. Towards the end of the day, we had a close encounter with a shark who came and took two fish from me as I was reeling them in. What a great experience. I’ll be booking another trip soon to go out and try for bigger fish next time.

We had an amazing day of fishing with Captain Francisco today. It started on the first cast and never stopped. Weather using bait or artificial metal jigs catching was no problem. We caught mostly red snapper, corvina, a few rock bass, and a couple triggers. The weather was absolutely beautiful today. I would recommend going fishing with Captain Francisco on La Princesa to anyone whether you are a seasoned fisherman or a beginner. The boat is very clean , roomy, and safe. Thank you Captain Francisco for another Amazing Day!

This is the second time we have been on the La Princesa, and as before, the boat was very clean, in good shape and the captain and crew were friendly and professional. Captain showed up on time and the trip was the full 6 hours. We dropped down from 8 to 5 people and the captain was very nice and allowed us the change. The fishing was slow that day, which can happen, but we did catch fish (but not close to what we caught on our previous trip). The only improvement I might suggest is that would have been nice if we could have moved around a bit more, rather than staying in the same spot when fishing wasn't very good. Even so, it was a great trip, everyone caught fish and they all had a good time.
