Experience the excitement only offshore big game fishing can bring! Let Pez Loco Charters be your host on this thrilling journey.

Our captain and crew have more than 30 years experience fishing local waters and traveling around the world. They know how to fish and how to find the big fish! Our mates have years of experience and are as excited to be fishing with you today as they were when they first began their careers. They all love to fish and it shows!

Customers are treated to a truly first-class experience. Full- Day charters start with a full breakfast, followed by a hot prepared lunch, great snacks and drinks. We provide all gear and bait and have modern dredges and tuna tubes for targeting large marlin and tuna.

Pez Loco features three staterooms and three full heads. The cabins below, the salon, galley and enclosed bridge are all air-conditioned for added comfort. We just did a complete restoration of the boat. Both MAN 1200 engines were completely rebuilt, a new CAT generator, sound system, all new upholstery, and linens. We also upgraded rods and reels, fresh lines, and ice maker.

Pez Loco is the perfect vessel for your half-day, full-day or even multi-day fishing trip. On day trips we can accommodate up to 11 people. On multi-day trips it's six people. Nearshore and offshore fishing spots hold many big game species that a lot of anglers dream of catching. Species include sailfish, marlin, wahoo, mahi mahi, tuna, snapper and rooster fish. The crew cleans and filets your catch and packages it for you to take with you. All you need to do is come aboard and enjoy yourself!

    Well Worth It!!

    3/4 Day Offshore Trip on July 31, 2026 • 9 adults • 1 child

    Eric and the crew were amazing. They worked very hard to get us on the fish and were successful. We caught a nice sail, mahi, 2 wahoo, some nice red snapper and a grouper. The boat was great. I wiuld recommend this as when we were getting hot we were able to go into the cabin (AC) and cool down. Had a group of 9 and we were very comfortable and everyone caught fish. Great experience and would do it again. Thanks guys.

    caught everything exept marlin😂

    Full Day Offshore Trip on August 27, 2026 • 9 adults

    We caught three sailfish we caught five yellowfin tuna, and one of the biggest snappers I’ve ever seen. The fishing was great. The crew was great. The whole trip was amazing. Would just say if you’re not used to the choppy waters. Make sure you bring motion sickness stuff a few guys on our trip couldn’t handle the water.

    Captain Gerardo made the trip👍

    Full Day Offshore Trip on July 10, 2024 • 6 adults

    Gerardo the Boat Capitán was excellent. He was a 1st mate for 15 rs before studying for his Captains license. Geraldo definitely knows how to fish and made the trip a success. We had 8 people and everyone pulled in a least 2 or 3 fish. The boat is older, but Geraldo does a good job keeping it updated. Everyone left the trip stoked.

    TEXAS APPROVED! Great Boat Great Service!

    Full Day Offshore Trip on June 5, 2021 • 4 adults

    First of all, I am a super picky fisherman and set very high standards on my trips. I need a clean/nice boat, good service and at least a fish or two. Pez Loco delivered on all accounts! We had a great day out and pulled in a beautiful Sailfish. Best part of the trip was our captain chasing a pod of 100+ (Or maybe more) spinner Dolphins while they chased a school of Tuna. We didn’t catch any Tuna, but, the captain put us in the sweet spot countless times. As you can see from the pictures, they literally ran under us. Truly an amazing experience for over an hour of our trip. Th A/C was ice cold and the beer was colder. Lunch was fantastic and there are plenty of places to take nap when you are headed out, headed in or just tired from pulling in a 100lb Sailfish or Tuna. All communications were quick and booking was easy. Also, the marina was the best. Clean and security was everywhere so super safe for you, your family and your car while you are out all day. Restaurants were good too. Don’t miss the Pez Loco, it’s officially TEXAS APPROVED!!!!
