    First time on the ocean

    4 Hour Trip - Manzanillo Fishing Bay on February 24, 2026 • 3 adults

    Joel was an amazing captain and got us on fish right away. The boat was clean and safe. The weather in Manzanillo is spectacular! Highly recommend Five Reasons for your next trip. We did the bay trip today but want to do a longer one next year for sure.

    5 Hour Trip on October 27, 2025 • 1 adult

    Ramon and mate Joel were really great. Caught a sailfish at the death but would have been a great trip regardless. Captain and mate were very professional, courteous and worked extremely hard to finally get that fish. Would recommend highly if you visit Manzanillo.

    FULL DAY

    10 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing on April 27, 2025

    It was a great day, full of action with this fast boat and the best crew. I couldn't ask for more. Lots of tuna fishing and, to top it off, a big blue marlin on board. One of my best fishing trips with my son and great friends.

    Totally recommended, great fishing experience.

    10 Hour Trip on January 3, 2021

    I have made several trips along with Captain Michel and I always end up with full thrill for those great fishing days; starting from the captain's punctuality, his professionalism and good attitude. And it is worth mentioning that the boat is so beautiful, and it is always in impeccable conditions. Captain Michel is very friendly and he is an expert sailor, he explained me everything in detail so that I could enjoy fishing at its best. Michel knows very well the fishing zones, we have caught blue marlins, striped marlins, and sailfishes. We were able to enjoy our fresh fishes at the boat, since Captain Michel is not only a great fisherman, but also a good cook. Besides to what we have caught, we have seen dolphins, turtles and flying fishes, which complements the trip and makes it very entertaining.

    Ramon and Jorge made our amateur fishing experience a pure delight. Who knew we could catch 18 fish in two hours snorkel, eat fresh ceviche and see dolphins and turtles all while enjoying gorgeous scenery and weather of Manzanillo. This team is awesome!

  • Four anglers proudly displaying their catch of large Yellowfin Tuna aboard a fishing boat at night.

    Yellowfin Tuna
    We kicked off the day trolling with two live bonitas, chasing the dream of a trophy marlin. Nine miles offshore, the ocean suddenly came alive—birds dive-bombing the surface in a full-on feeding frenzy. That was our cue to switch gears and unleash kite fishing, one of the most deadly techniques out there. The action was nonstop: four hard-fighting tuna landed and two more lost in brutal battles. An unforgettable day on the water, sealed the only proper way—celebrating with fresh tuna sashimi.
  • A scenic view of a fishing boat cutting through calm waters at sunset, with fishing rods positioned for action against a backdrop of mountains.
    We had a short trip inshore, looking for small fish around, after 10 minutes the lures touched the water, skipjacks started to bite, we keep a couple and release the rest (12 skipjack). Then a sailfish appear behind the small lures biting many times but not hooked. We saw a lot of dolphins, birds and turtles.
  • Two anglers proudly displaying a large Sailfish aboard a boat in open waters, showcasing a successful deep-sea fishing trip.

  • Two anglers engaged in fishing on a boat, with one rod bent, indicating a fish is on the line. The scene captures the excitement of deep-sea fishing in clear waters.

    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Light tackle for this trip, lookig for a mahi close to the coast, weu caught five nice mahis and lost 3 more! Lot of skipjacks around, was a great day! The best fish for dinner. Also a sailfish bite a little lure but not hooked enough.

    Startgun at 07:00h, running at 30 knots and starting trolling at 10 miles out, we lost a big marlin on a lure (short outrigger) after 5 minutes fighting. Then find lot of birds and catch a tuna! And more closer to the coast a mahi mahi caught ok another lure. We lost a big marlin but was a funny day!
