Your journey takes place on a 25’ Mazatlan center console that can accommodate up to 3 guests. It runs on a 115 HP Evinrude engine, uses fishfinder and VHF radio technology for efficient navigation, and is equipped with a fighting chair and a livewell.

Great day on the water

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.

Just want to give a big Thank You to Captain Jesus and his crew Sergio and Armando. We have been on 5 charters in Cabo this crew was the BEST!!!! They worked hard the entire time we fished and we had a very successful day catching Dorado and Bonita and seeing several Marlin. The boat was laid out perfect and everything we needed was ready. Can't Thank Jesus enough for creating a lifetime of Memories. We will be back to fish with Jesus again. I would recommend this crew to everyone!!!! Thanks Jesus!!!!

Fishing with Francisco

VERIFIED

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.
