Huatulco Fishing Adventures - 38'

Coral reefs, breathtaking beaches, diverse wildlife – Huatulco, Mexico has it all. It also has Huatulco Fishing Adventures, one of the longest operating and the most renowned fishing charters in the area. Since they were founded in 1985, their main goal is to provide their clients with an unforgettable personalized fishing experience.

Your boat for the day will be the ‘Bandit,’ a 38’ Bertram convertible, operated by Captain Neri Pinacho. The vessel was fully restored in 2016 and rigged with top-notch marine electronics and safety gear.

It has outriggers, a flybridge, a full-head restroom, and a fighting chair. You’ll also find a refrigerator, a livewell, and even snorkeling gear on board. The Bandit can take you and up to five other anglers fishing without tangling lines.

Captain Neri is an experienced fisherman who’ll show you the most productive spots teeming with Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Marlin, and other prestigious species. He’ll take you up to 25 miles from the coast and teach you everything he knows about trolling, spinning, jigging, and deep sea fishing in general.

Billfish and Roosterfish are strictly catch and release, but you’ll get to keep anything else if you want. If you decide to do so, the first mate will clean the fish for you, free of charge.

You’ll be supplied with state of the art tackle, lures, snacks, drinks, ice, and licenses. Live bait is also available for additional $50. The captain will make sure you have everything you need for a productive day on the water. So go out and reel them in!
