A very comfortable in-board fishing boat with a very knowledgeable captain who knows the best fishing spots in Manzanillo, Colima Mexico. Daily catch includes Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Marlin, and Sailfish.

Captain Ernesto is a young but very experienced sailor who grew up on fishing boats in Latin America and North America as well as Asia. You'll be fishing from a 38' Prestige boat with enough room for up to 8 guests plus the Captain and a Sailor who will ensure your trip is pleasant and productive. It also includes a toilet, an ice box, and a fighting chair.

We include heavy-duty fishing gear, an assortment of lures, bait, cooler for your drinks and snacks. We can make you a delicious Tahiti-style ceviche with your catch so you can eat on board during your trip.

We recommend you bring comfortable clothing, snacks, and your favorite drinks. You can let us know ahead of time and we can also have those ready for you ahead of time.

We have a sun deck on the front of the boat so you can sunbathe and relax. During your fishing trip, we can also stop at the serene water of Las Hadas resort so you can swim and relax.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.

If you are prone to seasickness, we recommend taking Dramamine an hour or so before setting out on your trip. You can buy it across the street from the pier at the local pharmacy.

2 beautiful sail fish
6 Hour Trip on December 10, 20254 adults1 child

We booked a 6 hour fishing trip. And we couldn't be happier with how it all went. We caught 8+ bonitos, and 2 beautiful sail fish. The crew worked extremely hard, and just gave us the best time. We took some sail fish back and had a chef cook it up for us and it was incredibly delicious. A HUUGE thank you to captain Hugo and his first mate for such an incredible experience on the jazmine. We can't wait to rebook again next time we visit.
