Marla’s Sportfishing - Marla IV

Marla’s Sportfishing is a third-generation company based in La Cruz. It is owned by the Osuna brothers, who got their passion and knowledge from their father, the legendary Captain Jose Luis “Chicano” Osuna.

The Osuna brothers operate a fleet of fantastic sportfishing vessels that are fully outfitted with the finest equipment, accessories, and gadgets available. They collaborate with various brands to make sure every angler that fishes with them can make a great catch possible.

Join Captain Scott aboard the ‘Marla IV,’ a 36’ Blackfin saltwater fishing boat. This fantastic vessel will help you find your match both inshore and offshore. She comes powered by twin 450 Cummins engines and can get to the fishing grounds quickly and safely. The Marla IV has enough room for up to 6 anglers to fish in comfort and style.

The Marla IV has a flybridge to spot any action going on beneath the surface. You will be able to battle Roosterfish, Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, Sailfish, and other species inshore and take in all the beauty of the surrounding areas. While battling bigger fish offshore, you will be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride inside the boat.

Battle big Tuna, Blue and Black Marlin, Amberjack, and Cubera Snapper. Test your angling skills, set new records, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

The overnight trips are all-inclusive. All you have to do is bring your lunch with you; all snacks (fruit, granola bars, eggs, sandwiches, ceviche, tuna sticks on the grill, and many more), as well as drinks, will be available on board.

Marla's Sportfishing was founded back in 1983. It is a family-owned company that is run by 3 brothers. Captain Danny operates Marla, Capt. Alonso is at the helm of Marla II, and Marla IV is captained by Scott. Their father passed down his passion for fishing. Now, many years later, Captains Alonso, Scott, and Dany are still as enthusiastic as they were back then. They share a wealth of local knowledge and experience and care about their customers. They always tell fish stories with everyone on board and work hard to put smiles on their guests' faces.
