Tarpon Club Isla Holbox

Holbox, Mexico
7 reviews
Your host at the Tarpon Club, legendary fly fisherman Alejandro Vega Cruz, was born on the Island of Holbox. Until he was 6, he lived at Cabo Catoche where his grandfather, and then father, were the lighthouse keepers and coconut farmers. Better known as Sandflea, he's been in love with fishing since he was a small boy, and started to guide at the age of 19 on Cozumel and Isla Blanca, Cancún. From there, he began guiding on Holbox and continues to do so currently, managing the Tarpon Club Isla Holbox. A lifetime of passion for the sport has not only given him a wealth of knowledge on the intricacies of fly fishing and marine life but also earned him lauded status among elite fishermen and guides alike around the world. Sandflea, the co-founder of the Ecoalianza Holbox Conservation Trust and collaborator with Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, is also active in the island's environmental stewardship.

    Great Trip!

    8 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Tarpon fishing is definitely different harder than it looks but makes the reward that much better! Had a wonderful day on the water seeing the sights and reeling in fish. “Ferrero Rocher” was a great guide! Also best meal we had on our whole vacation was that tuna fish sandwich! Looking to coming back in the future.

    Great Trip!

    8 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Saul and Chai really oniw their tarpon fishing. A after arriving at the location, we immediately saw the tarpon jumping out of the water eating bait fish. We hooked into at least eight or 10 tarpon over 50 pounds each. We had an amazing time chasing tarpon all morning. I highly recommended to anyone looking for a tarpon trip. I will definitely be back next time.

    Awesome experience!

    8 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    I booked this for my 14 year old’s b-day and it was great! Alejandro was very easy to communicate with leading up to the trip, and our Captian Beto was awesome on the day of. We caught Tarpon, barracuda, sea trout and jack fish, and saw sting rays and a bunch of other wildlife as well. Will do it again if we can!

    January fishing trip

    8 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Had a great time with Captain Felipe. We had our shots at Tarpon which is why we were there, so it was a successful trip. Would book with them again in a heartbeat.
