Great day on the water
Half Day Trip on February 17, 2025 • 2 adults

Jesus and Ricky did a great job. We trolled going out but did not catch. Then we bottom fished and caught a lot of fish. Since it was just my wife and I we only kept a few Snapper and Grouper. We even saw some whales.

Fishing with Francisco
Half Day Trip on October 7, 2024 • 2 adults

Overall, this fishing trip was amazing! We caught 8 fish including 3 Mahi Mahi. Francisco helped us with our reeling as we've only been out 3 times. The only thing that would've made this trip really spectacular would be to have a chair that swiveled or fishing belts to hold your fishing rod while reeling in.

After having some bad experiences on different charters in Baja, The owner Richard bought his boat in 2019, wanting to start something that people could enjoy. He went out and hired the best captains Lizandro and Jesus and deckhand that both could speak English. With their father and most of the family members being fishermen, they grew up in the local town and have been fishing since little kids. They know how to fish, enjoy what they do, and will work hard for their customers to provide an unforgettable time and help make memories on the water. Almost all of the customers so far have said they felt like they were fishing with family on their trips.
