Muelle Espiritu Santo - Fishing Pier - Manzanillo City Center
Manzanillo, CL, Mexico

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.

Book your trip now and hit the water with La Macarela.

We were not familiar with sea fishing very much, but captain Hugo kindly taught us every thing.Additionally,since we would like to do both bait fishing and trolling, he arranged those very well even though we had booked only for 4hours. We definitely come back here next time! Muchas gracias,Hugo!

January 8th, water's is cold, so we, only came back with one Sailfish about 25 to 28 kilos. Would have let it go, but cut the gills on the left side, and was bleeding badly.
