Yellowfin Tuna, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Rooster Fish, Cubera,(Sea Bass), Wahoo, and many more could be biting if you cast your line at the right time of the year.

If fishing is not your thing, we offer cruses to places like Tortuga Island, Monkey Island, Isla Fantasia, Play Blanca, or the floating restaurant.
Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area, like live bait fishing.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board.
Also, we can 'hook you up' with the best places to stay. We have many contacts with private homes or hotels.
Extra snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
There's a bathroom and toilet on board for your convenience.
With a crew of 3, Captain, Local Angler, and a Host/Mate, you can have major safety with a good division of labor for tasks like handling lines, baiting hooks, and reeling in fish.
Our dedicated crew allows efficient teamwork, quality service and safety.
Fluent English speaking. Keep in mind, they do rely on tips to supplement their income.
