The ‘White Marlin’ is a beautiful 38’ Chris Craft kept in tip-top condition, and is fully equipped for the most demanding fishing missions. It is very spacious with capacity for up to 10 anglers, and is rigged to fish with up to 6 lines at the same time. The boat features a roomy lounge and restroom.

You’ll use only the best Shimano and Penn International fishing gear. The boat is fitted with state-of-the-art navigational equipment, flybridge, outriggers, 2 fighting chairs, and tuna tubes to maximize your time on the water.

These waters are abundant when it comes to fish, so expect to come across a variety of prized species. When deep sea fishing, you’ll be able to target Marlin, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and more. Bottom fishing is good year-round and you’ll be able to target tasty Snapper, Snook, White Seabass, and Grouper, among others. The crew will be happy to clean and fillet your catch at the end of the day, so you can prepare a delicious meal back home.

Don’t hesitate to bring your kids, and make this an amazing family adventure! Pack some food and drinks so you can stay energized, as well as some sunscreen, and you’re ready to have some fun. If you want to explore the underwater world up close, snorkeling equipment is also available upon request.

7 1/2h Trip - Deep Sea Fishing on March 13, 2017

We went out all day trip. Departed on schedule and the guys put in every effort to get us on the fish but they weren't biting I guess its off season right now. Great trip as far as everything else I have to give these guys credit they did work their asses off to try and get us on the fish. I taken many deep sea trips all over the Caribbean and Pacific coast. We all know if they are shut down that's just the way it is. So I have to give these guys good reviews.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and thanks for understanding that as much as we try sometimes the fish aren't feeding. I mentioned your review to Carlos and Alejandro, they were happy and sent their regards. Hope to take you fishing again in the near future, all the best.

This was my second experience with Alejandro. It was the same great experience as last time. Captain and his first mate were very accommodating and helped us have a most enjoyable experience. I would do it again anytime. Juan and Family

7 1/2h Trip - Deep Sea Fishing on November 21, 2017

We had a great trip! Carlos and Alex did everything they could to get us into the fish and did not disappoint. We caught a striped marlin and an sailfish!! Our kids loved it but in particular our 8 year old has not stopped talking about it. He says that it was his favorite thing about his vacation to Mexico! We also saw lots dolphins and sea turtles!! I would highly recommend it!!

Escualo Sport Fishing Was founded in 1990 in Mazatlán Mexico by Mark and Lola Dissmore, two visionaries from Pullman, Washington with a passion for fishing who decided to join forces on a quest that started over 30 years ago. Their initial charter operation was modest, but thanks to the support of customers and friends, their fleet drastically expanded in just a few seasons. For your own safety, each boat has twin Mercury Sea Pro engines in Super pangas and twin Cummins turbo diesel engines in the crew's cruisers. Escualo Fleet now welcomes hundreds of customers from around the globe who come to experience the world-famous fishing in Mazatlán. Escualo Fleet is known for its consistency in catching, customer satisfaction, and rates. It takes pride in promoting the conservation of billfish such as Marlin, Sailfish, and Swordfish.
