Pepe's Fleet – Tiger Shark
+19Pepe’s Fleet operates several great boats out of Mazatlan, Mexico, taking groups out to enjoy the awesome fishing and wonderful views which draw tourists from across the continent. There is something for everyone in these warm, Pacific waters, and these guys are the perfect team to put you on the best of them.
You will be fishing aboard 28’ center console, fresh out of the box in 2017 and powered by a 225HP Yamaha engine. The boat offers speed, comfort, and reliability, allowing you to fish and swim without a care in the world. She features a clean, spacious deck, a covered top to keep off the hot Mexican sun, and an enclosed head for extra comfort on long trips offshore.
What you do on your trip is entirely up to you. You can hit the reefs to drop some lines for Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, and Barracuda, or head further out to battle Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and even Swordfish. After a specific species? Spend the whole day chasing Roosterfish in the shallows or Marlin in the deep. Whatever you want, the captain and crew are here to make it happen!
This is the perfect boat for families and friends wanting to take in the sights and catch some tasty fish. If you are up for more of a challenge, the vessel has more than enough equipment and tech to give you a world-class fishing adventure. GPS and fishfinder will get you on your chosen fish in no time, and outriggers, tuna tubes, and a fighting chair will have you fishing like a pro without the huge price tag. Keep in mind live bait is charged extra.
The fish are waiting and the boat is fuelled and ready to go. She is loaded with everything you need, from tackle, bait, and fishing licenses, to a variety of drinks and some tasty treats to keep you going as you fight your dinner into the boat. The crew will even arrange transportation to the boat – just let them know the name of the hotel you’re staying at before the trip.
All you need to do is climb aboard and enjoy.

Great time with Pepes fleet
Full Day Trip on July 7, 2025
Everything was ready when we got to the dock which is about a 30 minute cab/uber ride from the cruise port. Got there about 9 from the earliest cruise release and fished until 2. It is a 45 minute ride from the dock to where we fished. Had to be back to the dock by 3 to get back over to the cruise port. Fished hard for 4-5 hours and did not catch but the boat was comfortable for 4 of us and the captain and first mate. They provided waters and 12 beers for our trip and Georgina also made us sandwiches for our lunches. While it was a bummer we did not catch the experience was very positive and we would book with Pepes fleet again. At the end of the trip Georgina the owner was nice enough to give us a ride back to the cruise port which saved us a the cab fare back to the boat. Great trip!!!

AMAZING DAY!!!!
Full Day Trip on March 27, 2025
We had the most amazing day ever. We did a full day deep sea fishing yesterday There were only three of us; two experienced anglers and me a total novice. It was only my second time fishing ever. Our captain Guillermo and mate Cesar gave us an experience of a lifetime. Their skill in finding and seeing where the fish were to initially getting them to bite and get them hooked so we could experience the fight made the day fantastic. All three of us caught fish. Three marlins (94” long, 150lbs; 92”, 130lbs, 75”, 80lbs) and one mako shark 45”. I had also hooked another large one but, after quite a fight managed to break fee. What a day! In addition to all the fish caught, we saw many that we couldn’t snag. Also saw many sea turtles of various varieties, various birds and even a whale in the distance. All in all, an exceptional day was had by all of us. Thank you Guillermo and Cesar for a day we will remember for years to come.

Amazing fishing with Pepe’s
Full Day Trip on February 11, 2025
Went fishing for Marlin with Pepe’s Fleet Tiger Shark and it was amazing from start to finish. First the communication with Jose thru the app before our trip was excellent. Very responsive and answered all our questions. His daughter Georgina met us at the start and end of the trip to make sure everything went as promised. Our boat captain Guillermo and his grandson Cesar were fantastic. Great guys with tons of fun fish stories. And they knew how to fish. Throughout our 7 hour trip we saw 15 Marlin sitting on top of the water and coaxed 4 into chasing and biting our lures. We set the hook on 2 and managed to get one in the boat. A 7 footer. The other one that got away was even bigger, giving us an epic 30 minute fight before we lost it. We also saw a dozen whales, over 40 turtles and 100 dolphins. Only one other boat got a Marlin that day. For my money there is no better boat to fish with in Mazatlan. Can’t wait to go back again.

Half-day Excursion
Half Day Trip (PM) on February 26, 2025
My family and I had a fantastic experience on this fishing excursion. We all caught several fish for the first few hours, then were pleasantly surprised by whale watching and sea turtles. The main event was an unexpected striped Marlin that caught the captain's eye. His expert knowledge of enticing the big boy with a tasty treat secured a huge catch! My brother's arms were on fire, but he was able to reel the huge marlin in!

Just WOW!
Full Day Trip on February 8, 2025
We had such a blast! The ONLY thing that could've made it a better day on the water would ha e been fighting a huge marlin BUT even despite not landing dinner, we were all very happy with the trip. The amout of active marine alone was worth the price! We, 100% will be booking again the next time we're in Mazatlan!
