Grand Jefe ll Ixtapa Fishing & Leisure Games 

We caught so many fish, we had to ask for a break! Caught all the Bonitas we could eat in the first hour including 4 at once. Luckily we had taken the Casa Mexica cooking class the day before and made delicious ceviche with them. We asked for another type of fish and they put us on some chevale jacks which were expertly cleaned by Christopher which added to our snorkeling experience by baiting the water with the entrails. if you’re a serious snorkler, I recommend bringing your own gear although the charter will supply some as well. We also saw a lot of humpbacks. I’d definitely book with this charter again. We were able to buy lunch at the dock. Lilly’s restaurant will cook your catch for you but wasn’t open on the Tuesday.

Great trip, boat, and crew. We had an excellent day and landed 4 nice sail fish. Christopher, the deckhand was awesome. He worked really hard and also kept us engaged and provided excellent conversation. The captain, Enrique was on the flying bridge but kept us on the fish. We actually got to ride up there on the run back in. The boat is large and comfortable, diesel engine inboard so it was a bit of a slow run out and back and there was some exhaust fumes at times. We had one reel malfunction that was a pain while fighting a fish but as soon as it was known that rod was taken out of rotation and replaced with another. communication before the trip was a little sparse as we didnt get any response to messages after the initial confirmation and date still ahowed available to book on this website but they were ready when and where they said they'd be despite that. overall a great experience and I would definitely fish with them again.

Great day on the water. This crew did everything possible to get us fish in the boat. their was no communication to us that the charter started at 7 am because the fish booker said 8 am. Once we did arrive, the captain and first mate were really awesome about the miscommunication. we fished they should us islands and rocks. it was very fun and beautiful. We then went to a private area to snorkle and swim with their floating pad. all in all, the crew, boat, and experience on the water were great. Once we went to pay, they were surprised about me using a card. Again, this is the biggest and most expensive boat in the marina to fish out of. Of course, i knew about the 4% and was going to give the crew a cash tip. We had to wait for the owner to come with the machine, which wasn't a problem. Then, when he charged us, he ended up charging us 4% and then an additional $54 because he said the change rate was different. Agian the crew and captian were awesome but the owner obviously didnt care. so we left paying a extra $54 just because. I have been o. nuch smaller boats and never had a problem with a credit card in this same marina. I also know it's not ideal but when you are the biggest most expensive foshing boat in the marina you have to know. Also the fact the owner over charged $54 and didnt care sucks.

Big fish for a big birthday! We went out on March 11th to celebrate my little brothers 21st bithday. Enrique & Chris put us on this giant which put on a heck of a fight. 1.5 hours later, with a broken hand and broken colalrbone, he managed to get this big blue into the boat. what a champ! We cannot gave asked for a better day! The crew was very friendly any knowledgable and provided an all around great experince.

Caught 2 large sailfish- 1 over 3 meters. Crew were great.

6 of us had a great time fishing on the Grand Jefe 2 on 2/4/2025. Communication regarding coordination instructions was good through FishingBooker app as long as we had wifi or cell service. Captain and 2 crew were great and worked hard for us. Fishing was good and we were able to release most fish (sailfish). Very nice well maintained clean boat with nice layout and room to spread out. Christian made us possibly the best ceviche that we've ever had. They had a nice cooler full of ice to store drinks and food. They supplied some beer and water but we brought our own too. 15 minute cab ride from Ixtapa ~ $10US. Handmade sandwiched made at pier entrance that were good and reasonable ~3.50 US. I wouldn't hesitate to book with these guys again.

Our trip started out very slow, but at no fault of the crew. The captain was always watching the water for birds and the deckhand was always trying different rigs. Things finally picked up in one area and we were getting hits and landed a really nice sailfish. Comfortable boat, great conversation with the deckhand. Always nice sharing fish pics with passionate fishermen. The location and pick up was convenient. The gear was good. I would fish with them again.

Captain Enrique and First mate Christopher were the best crew we've ever had! Put us on fish right away! Informative about the different fish we were catching during our trip and Christopher even filtered the ones we wanted to bring back and cook! Next trip already being planned for Mucasoffshore Marlin and Sailfish with this crew! Muchas Gracias!

I give this crew ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! The boat was perfectly clean, the captain and crew were amazing & knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions. Beyond helpful in assisting me getting my 7.5 foot sailfish in the boat, measuring and taking pictures. They truly cared about getting this fish back in the water and making sure it was going to live. I was more than impressed with these guys! Highly recommend this boat, captain & crew!

We went fishing today on the Gran Jefe II with Alberto, Ivan, and Enrique. We were barely out of bay when we caught 2 nice sized Bonitas. By 9 30 we had six and one Spanish mackerel. We took them to Ixtapa Island and had drinks and appetizers while we snorkeled. They grilled some of the fish, made tiritas and device with the rest. We got back at 1 pm ready for a siesta. The crew worked hard to give us a great time. Perfect fishing day!
