    Perfect trip with Lori 3!

    4 Hours Traditional Trip

    We had an amazing 4-hour trip with Lori 3 fishing! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Captain Ramon and hand Jorge were excellent, Ramon has great English and took the time to explain the different options and trade-offs between focusing nearshore (smaller fish but more chance of hits) or in open water at the start of the trip. They adjusted the lines throughout the trip depending on what we were going after and when we had fish on the lines, supported us throughout. Thanks to them we were able to land a blue marlin, a sailfish and a bonito - and had a lot of fun! We understood that there’s not a great chance of landing a marlin over only 4 hours, but figured we would go for it anyways and we’re glad we did. We also saw whales, lots of dolphins, and a sea turtle. Lori 3 was also very easy to communicate with ahead of time, answered all our questions, and was flexible on timing - which was super important to us as we were in Manzanillo on a cruise ship and had only a limited time in port. For anyone who may be coming to Manzanillo on a cruise ship, don’t hesitate, Lori 3 is docked just a few minutes walk from the cruise port! All in all, it was a great experience and the Lori 3 team was very warm, fun, and most of all, professional!

    Had a great time

    5 Hours Traditional Trip • 6 adults

    We had a fantastic day. The crew were the best. We didn’t catch any huge fish, but we kept busy catching bait fish and we did take home one Mahi Mahi for dinner. The crew was awesome and we had a good time.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic day out on the water with us. While the "big ones" can be elusive sometimes, we're glad the crew kept the action going with the bait fish and that you were able to land a delicious Mahi Mahi for dinner. There is nothing quite like fresh catch on the table!

    Captain and crew member were excellent. Between the five of us we caught many fish. Unfortunately the big one got away. We would definitely recommend Lori III if you are looking for a great fishing adventure.

Yellowfin Tunas

Jan 2, 2026 • Manzanillo
We kicked off the day trolling with two live bonitas, chasing the dream of a trophy marlin. Nine miles offshore, the ocean suddenly came alive—birds dive-bombing the surface in a full-on feeding frenzy. That was our cue to switch gears and unleash kite fishing, one of the most deadly techniques out there. The action was nonstop: four hard-fighting tuna landed and two more lost in brutal battles. An unforgettable day on the water, sealed the only proper way—celebrating with fresh tuna sashimi.

Lot of Skipjacks and 1 Sailfish gone

Dec 13, 2025 • Manzanillo
We had a short trip inshore, looking for small fish around, after 10 minutes the lures touched the water, skipjacks started to bite, we keep a couple and release the rest (12 skipjack). Then a sailfish appear behind the small lures biting many times but not hooked. We saw a lot of dolphins, birds and turtles.
