With Escualo Sport Fishing Fleet you’ll explore the beautiful inshore and offshore waters of Mazatlán, Mexico, where you can find something biting all year round! The captain has over 20 years of experience. With the help of his deckhand and their incredible fishing skills, they make the most popular crew in town!

This 36’ Innovator cruiser boat is powered by twin 210 HP Cummings engines, and is equipped with VHF radio, GPS, tuna tubes, and fishfinder. It can comfortably accommodate up to 8 anglers. It has a small living room, toilet, kitchen, and bed. There are also several seats outside to enjoy the view and look for fish.

The crew will provide you with quality Shimano and Penn International fishing equipment, as well as a range of artificial lures. After a productive day of fishing, they’ll be happy to clean and fillet your catch so you can take it home for a delicious meal.

You can book a full day fishing charter and have a deep sea adventure or you can book a shorter trip and go bottom fishing. These are fish-rich waters, and there’s something to target no matter when you go out. When deep sea fishing, you’ll mainly be fishing for species such as Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and Yellowfin Tuna while Snapper, Grouper, Roosterfish, and Pompano will be your targets bottom fishing.

Bring your kids along for the ride, and make some unforgettable family memories! Make sure to bring some snacks and drinks so you can stay refreshed throughout the day.

Join Escualo Sport Fishing Fleet on the Blue Marlin and experience fishing in Mexico like never before!

5 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing

Could have been better in a few ways

VERIFIED

While the captain and crew were nice we didn’t feel like we were given an “experience “. Not once did we touch a reel. Had two bites that the captain handled and lost. Had 3 teenagers and we just would have preferred to fish for something not as difficult as marlin but was told to just keep waiting as they could “see tails”. While we did get a couple bites and saw a couple jump it wasn’t the kind of fish we really were looking to go after as we wanted something a little easier for our group. I asked 2-3 times if we could try for something else but he seemed to have his own agenda. Also no water or soda was available. Captain had to give us his when one of our kids got sick. The boat was in “fair” condition. No garbage cans or amenities to help have a good time while waiting for a bite.

Not my first time deep sea fishing but by far my most memorable. Took 2 of my kids ages 10 and 12 with us. Within the first 45 minutes, we had already caught multiple fish and the day just kept getting better. Do not hesitate to book with this team.

5 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing

Bad day, tired or lazy crew.

VERIFIED

I've never seen a crew do so little. In 5 hours of trolling, I think they checked or refreshed the bait on the lines once without us insisting. Because we insisted, some lines got checked twice in 5 hours, but not all of them. And sure enough, when they would reluctantly pull in a line at our suggestion, no bait. Well, after two hours what did you expect. I've been on many deep-sea fishing trips and the crew always seemed to be busy. Checking lines, refreshing bait, pulling on the deployed lines to create bait action, and lots of other activity as well that I can't classify because I've never crewed a boat. This crew seemed interested in doing as little as possible. And what a surprise, no fish! Last time I went on a trip years ago in Cozumel and got no bites trolling, the crew stopped the boat in the shallows on the way back and we bottom fished. They cared and didn't want us to go home empty handed. I just assumed this would happen on this boat too. Nope! Straight back to the dock with just a shrug of the shoulders from the crew. Never touched a fishing pole in 5 hours. But on the positive side, at least the crew caught up on some apparently much needed rest. We still tipped them well. We're Americans, we can't help but to tip, even with bad service. But the tip notwithstanding, I wouldn't go with this outfit again, certainly not this crew.
