A sailfish day
8 Hour Trip (Full Day) on March 25, 20263 adults

We did a full day trip offshore, and through the persistence of captain Jose and crew, both my brother and I boated very nice pacific sailfish. The captain extended our 8 hour trip to 10 hours to get the job done. Thank-you Jose!

Jose has over 15 years of experience fishing the local waters. Two years ago he decided to turn his hobby into a profession and start guiding trips and showing guests how beautiful and rewarding of an experience the local fishing grounds can provide. Jose speaks very basic English, but when he has English-speaking customers he hires a guide that speaks English fluently. The favorite part of his job is seeing customers get the fish they've been targeting for a long time.
