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

Captain Thomas has more than 40 years experience fishing local waters and traveling around the world to win tournaments. He knows 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!
