I have been a captain since 1990. I know the island and its surroundings very well. Let me pamper you and show that my new company can satisfy your need for an adventure on the water. We use live bait as well as hooks all the time. I'll help you catch your fishing trophy and become a proud angler.

    Amazing trip and lots of bites

    6 Hour Trip • 1 adult

    Captain jose’s boat was under maintenance but he adapted quick and we still went out in the Atlantic with a similar 30ft vessel, captain George and marinero Rudi. 8 bites - 4 barracudas onboard, 4 lost in fighting. We did some ocean floor fishing towards the end and caught plenty of white grunts, triggerfish, porgy, and red snappers. Rudi prepared a delicious ceviche and George cleaned some of the fish I kept for lunch and dinner the same day. They dropped me directly at my hotel’s dock. Overall very nice and memorable trip!

    Jack and Tony were great. It was just me and my 10 year old son, and he was able to real in some nice sized mahi. Will do again and definitely recommend.

    My 7 year old boy and I went. We had a great trip. Miguel the mate, and Carlos the captain were skilled and friendly. We had a few strikes and three fish hooked which sadly we did not land. One was visually a wahoo, and also a Mahi Mahi. My boy was in the fighting chair. He struggled with the size and weight. He was a good sport tho. It’s fishing! If everytime we fished, we caught them-it would be boring!

    Not a lot of action. Caught one barracuda which are tasty, but the captain pulled over for a quick snorkeling trip at the end when it was clear not many fish were biting. The snorkeling was awesome! Had 5 rods in the water for 5-1/2 hours. The deckhand and captain made the most of it and kept a positive attitude the whole time. Would recommend to others.

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is one of Mexico's most important celebrations, and certainly its most iconic. Things are far from dead on the water, with massive Wahoo smoking reels offshore.
