Mandrake Fishing Charters
Mandrake Fishing Charters
Mandrake is a big game fishing charter boat operated by Aquasares, with Captain Bruno Sares, and first mate Guilherme Mestre. Their goal is to make sure their clients/friends get the unique experience of fighting a big fish, either Giant Bluefin Tuna, Big Blue Marlin, or the elusive White Marlin.
The boat is a very well restored Lurs 35’ Tournament Flybridge, powered by twin 350HP Caterpillar engines, that cruise at 18kn and have a top velocity of 22kn. This sportfishing vessel has everything you need for a day on the water, and more. You’ll find a galley, a private bathroom, a bed, and a fighting chair. Enjoy a spacious deck for your fishing battles.
The trip will take you anywhere from 5 to 15 miles off the coast, where you can target Bluefin Tuna, White Marlin, and all game fish. Eventually, you can set your sights on Blue Marlin and go 45 miles out to Picos Herminios, a seamount offshore that is a "Pit Stop" for pelagic billfish, a total must when it comes to fishing grounds.
You’ll be provided with top-quality equipment from Shimano, Sunrise, Avet, Penn, Fronteira lures, Mustad, Eagle Claw, Iland lures, Squid nation teasers, and others. Your fishing licenses are also covered, as well as soft drinks and light lunch. Feel free to bring your favorite snacks and drinks and don’t forget your sun protection.
Mandrake Fishing Charters welcomes you aboard! Start your big game adventure here!

8 Hour Trip – Bluefin Tuna
Giant tuna fishing
I showed up, knowing that I was about a month early to catch any tuna. My goal was to learn about the fishery and how the locals have learned to catch these giant tuna over the last seven years. Guillermo, my captain, was extremely knowledgeable and willing to share his local secrets. We had a great time and I learned a ton! I have a recommend mandrake fishing and Captain Guillermo.

6 Hour Trip – Game Fishing
Amazing day with Mandrake charters!
Had an awesome experience with Mandrake Charters yesterday . Started out with non-stop action on Mahi a few miles out and after loading the box headed out 10-12 miles for White Marlin. After a couple hrs of fish just having a look at our teaser spread we found the feeding birds and had Two double hook ups in a row! We landed 3 of the 4 on the double ups and had multiple more strikes landing one more awesome fish estimated at 130lbs. Truly a dream trip out of Tariva , the crew comprised of family and friends on the Mandrake was a joy to spend the day with and i will never forget the experience of a lifetime . Regards, Mike Good
