Climb aboard the Disco Pirata for a day of great fishing with an English-speaking captain aboard a modern, well-equipped boat. Fish the local waters for hard-fighting Roosterfish and a variety of tasty table species or head offshore in search of big game pelagics like Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Bluefin Tuna.

However you spend your day, spend it in style aboard the Disco Pirata. This 26' Sea Swirl sporftishing boat is perfect for hitting the deep waters offshore and is just as at home in the local bays. Built in 2005, she is powered by a reliable 250HP Yamaha outboard and can carry groups of four at speeds of around 20 knots off to the best fishing grounds.

The vessel is equipped with GPS and fishfinder to sound out the best fishing spots, outriggers and downriggers to let you target any species out there, and a livewell and tuna tubes to help lure them in. She also has a portable head for extra comfort on longer trips offshore.

Captain Jorge has been running trips in the area for well over a decade and comes from a family of successful charter captains. He loves to guide anglers of any age or experience level and will show you the tricks and techniques he has built up over a lifetime of fishing.

So whether you want a morning catching some tasty fish for dinner, or a whole day battling monster pelagics offshore, you can trust Captain Jorge and his skilled crew to get the job done.

All trips come with tackle, bait, lures, and licenses, as well as lunch on full day trips. All you need to bring is your camera, your sunscreen, and your A-game, because the fish around here don't go quietly!

    Full Day Trip with Capitain Carlos!

    Full Day Trip - Offshore on December 14, 2018 • 3 adults

    Great day of fishing with Captain Carlos and his first mate Adrian! Within the first hour of the trip Carlos found a school of Mahi Mahi with the help of his friend on the radio. After 30 minutes at this spot we were able to bag four 30-40lb Mahi Mahi. After leaving the Mahi Mahi spot we went a few hours without catching anything but while we were waiting, Adrian cleaned and filleted the Mahi Mahi we caught. The crew also provided us with lunch and drinks. After lunch we caught a nice 120lb sailfish and after a few more hours of trolling, we called it a day. Overall it was a great fishing trip with a great crew!

    Full Day Offshore Disco Pirata

    Full Day Trip - Offshore on September 13, 2018 • 2 adults

    What a great trip! Short water taxi to boat then about a 15-20 mile run to our first fishing spot. With 5 mins landed a nice 15lb Mahi. Great start, however no more catches for about 1.5 hours. No worries though, Alex and Jorge were in constant communication with other boats and after another 10 mile run we found ourselves on a huge school of Dolphin and Yellow Tail Tuna. Within an hour we boated 10 monsters, including multiple 30-35lb fighters! Having loaded up we trolled again for large game fish and landed 2 large sailfish between 125-150lbs. This was all before 1pm. Sunny day and we were beat and happy we decided to head back around 2. Easily could have caught another half dozen sailfish as Alex found the birds that led us to the fish. Great crew, great boat, great gear, great fishing! Highly recommend from life long TX fisherman!

    Trip of a lifetime!

    Full Day Trip - Offshore on August 7, 2018 • 2 adults

    Jorge and his boat were amazing! As soon as we got out and started trolling we had this huge sailfish on and within 30 min I had one on too (mine shook the hook but it was amazing seeing them jump!). We then caught these large Mahi Mahi before starting to fish for yellow fin tuna. We followed hundreds of spinning dolphins for hours (this was worth the trip in itself) and in the process we caught 8 large yellow fin! We sent much of the tuna home with the crew and took the Mahi Mahi to our favorite beach bar/grill in a Playa Hermosa Bowie’s Point. It was an amazing trip and worth every penny!! Thanks Jorge, Nick & Fishingbooker!!!!

    Half day afternoon trip with Captain Carlos

    Half Day Trip (PM) on February 7, 2019 • 2 adults

    Both Captain Carlos and his help Adrian made this fishing trip memorable. The long search paid off with the catch, a 40 lbs Mahi Mahi. The fish had taken both baits on 2 lines, my wife and I reeled it in. Adrian prepared and filleted the catch and El Pelicano restaurant prepared and turned it into a superb dinner at the shore. Captain Carlos and Adrian a big thank you to you both. Peter Sectakof

    ½ day trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 2, 2018 • 4 adults

    Amazing experience. Rays were jumping. Hooked up as soon as we got to the site. We had three hooked up at the same time in about 10min of trolling. Jorge is a great guide and I recommend him and this charter. The price was right. Me and my kids had the entire boat making this an awesome private charter. We came back with about 20lbs of Mahi Mahi fillets. We feasted like royal that afternoon at Juanita’s restaurant on the beach. Juanita’s cook our catch for. Nominal fee and added sides to boot.

    Half day trip with Jorge

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 21, 2018 • 2 adults

    Captain Jorge and first mate David were AWESOME! We started by trying for a few rooster fish but they weren’t biting, so we switched spots for mahi and BAM! Hit after hit! We ended up taking home 5 beautiful mahi and 1 yellowfin tuna. We had lots more mahi bites and even threw some smaller ones back. Sometimes multiple lines were biting at the same time. All in all it was a great trip and a fun time with Jorge and David! Thanks again!

    A full day aboard the Disco Pirate!!

    Full Day Trip - Offshore on November 28, 2017 • 2 adults

    My Son and I chartered this boat for a full day fishing trip and what a great time. Jorge, the captain, was amazing. He kept us baited, fed, and kept the boat clean as a whistle the entire time. He did all of this while filleting the 9 Dorados (all between 20-50lbs), two yellow fin tuna, and a sea bass we caught. Amazing day for sure. His bpat assistant (I cant remember his name...bad of me) was excellent as well. He did a great job steering the boat, assisting Jorge, and helping us get the fish onto the boat. He got a hoof caught in his finger and still did not miss a beat. Highly recommend the boat and crew.

    Monday at Jaco

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 20, 2018 • 2 adults

    Jorge and David were great hostts for our trip. Manon and I are in our 80’s and we caught 2 four foot Mahi Mahi and a 10 foot sailfish. We were careful with it because we released it, We also observed large turtles reproducing as well as a larger whale as part of their fall migration. Wonderful clean and efficient. Very personable.

Full Day Trip - Offshore on January 17, 20191 adult

We headed out at the agreed time and in no time we were fishing. At first the fishing was slow (they communicated with other boats and nobody was catching), but they didn't give up trying until they found the fish. In the end two beautiful and big Sailfish!!!! Incredible!! And all in the best company!! Wonderful day with two great guys!! Thanks Carlos and Adrian!!! We'll definitely see each other again and fish together.
