4 Hour Sunset Whale watching & Acts on February 7, 2025
The Grand Jefe is an excellent boat for a private cruise. The owner and the crew are fantastic and flexible to fulfill all your wishes. We've chartered this boat for the past 4 years and never had an issue. This recent trip we did onshore fishing, whale watching (followed several pods and enjoyed many whale tails!), cruised the Zihua Bay shoreline and the Ixtapa beach shoreline. And end the 4-hr excursion with a glorious sunset before heading back to the pier. The ages of our group were 55-75 (11 people in all). The crew took extra caution helping us board and disembark. The boat easily allowed seating for us all - up to 5 comfortably up on the fly bridge, and the rest sitting on a bench and padded deck for the rest. Thank you Abel, Enrique, and Alberto for a wonderful afternoon!!

7 Hour – Deep Sea for 10 PPL MAX on February 4, 2025
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.

7 Hour – Deep Sea for 10 PPL MAX on March 12, 2025
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.

7 Hour – Deep Sea for 10 PPL MAX on December 23, 2024
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!
