If you’re going to cast a line in Manta, look no further than Marlin Fishing In Manta. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Luis is prepared to put you on fish.
These waters are known for Blue Marlin, Bigeye Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Black Marlin, Sailfish, Swordfish, Striped Marlin, Skipjack Tuna, Amberjack, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Young ones are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 28’ Wellcraft cuddy cabin with space for 3 passengers. It has a fighting chair, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks for you on board.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Marlin Fishing In Manta.

10 Hour Trip on April 24, 2025
Went for 3 days of Marlin Fishing out of Manta, first impression right out of the dock was very positive. The 30 ft twin outboard vessel was clean and the gear was well looked after from the Shimono Tiagra and Penn international Reels, clean rods, well put together out riggers to the sticky sharp hooks that dig into your fingernails. About 1:00 pm on the first day while dragging a spread of 6 lures/baits and a squid chain Capt. Richard Alcivar jumps from the helm to the cockpit voicing Marlin in Spanish. The squid chain was on an electric reel set up and soon after the Capt hastily pulled the chain away from the fish then it hit the nearest chugger and the fight was on! The whole crew did exactly what was supposed to be done and we landed the fish in a short period of time. A huge thank you to Capt Richard as well as Mate/deck hand Marinero Alcivar and boat owner rep. Justin Bermudez. Perfect execution! Thanks to all of you for making dreams come true. I will definitely return again later!!
