Capt. Alfredo Rubio Quintana first fished at Loreto with his father on an 18' wooden boat with a 6 HP engine, using nets. That was 25 years ago when Capt. Alfredo was 12 years old. Their next Loreto fishing boat was a 20' fiberglass boat, a narrow boat with a 25 HP Johnson engine. When the captain was 17, they bought their first 'speed boat.' It was a 22' La Paz-style skiff with a 55 HP motor. In this boat, his father and he would lead as fishing guides for private boats visiting the Club de Vuelo. At 24, Captain Alfredo began working on his own fishing boat. His dad continues the same work, as does one brother. The three of them now have 4 Super Pangas. Nowadays, Captain Alfredo has a kind of enterprise with his sons with 5 Super Pangas ('Alicia 1', 'Alicia 2', 'Alicia 3', Alicia 4.

    Literally the best fishing trip I've ever been on

    7 Hour Trip – All Inclusive • 4 adults

    Rubio and his crew are about the nicest people I've ever met. First time in Loreto for a guys fishing trip and we rented 2 Pangas from Rubio. If you guys want to catch fish till your body can't take it anymore these are your guys. We fished for 3 days and it was absolutely amazing. I wish I could rate it a 10 star because these guys are the best. Can't thank Rubio and Rubio Jr for everything you guys did for us. Never in my life have I ever had so much fun on a Panga and I've been on quite a few. See you guys in April.

    Reeling in the good times!

    Sportfishing All Inclusive Package • 2 adults

    🎣 A Wonderful Day of Fishing and Great Memories! My dad always taught me there are two things in life you should never be late for: church and fishing! Our captain certainly lived up to the fishing part. He was right on time and worked hard to put us on fish, even when they were scarce. We had a wonderful time, enjoyed God’s beautiful creation, and made some great memories out on the water. We’re truly thankful for the experience and highly recommend this crew. God bless, and tight lines! 🙏🎣

    deadliest catch… just kidding but 👏🏻

    7 Hour Trip – All Inclusive • 2 adults

    What a great experience! Rubio sport fishing did not disappoint. The communication was timely and our captain, Jesus, worked really hard to put us on some fish. The week that we were there was slow for everyone, considering it was Dorado season. Jesus kept switching things up and stayed on the radio when necessary to ensure that we were able to get what we came for. Overall, we caught 7, three Dorado that yielded two keepers! The fish were vacuum, sealed, and delivered to us on the dock within 30 minutes. We couldn’t have asked for a better day and experience! I highly recommend Rubio Sport Fishing and cant wait to go back!

    Father & Son Fishing Trip

    Sportfishing Regular Package • 2 adults • 1 child

    Our captain Alfredo Rubio was awesome and very engaging. It was my 12-year-old son's first time, and he caught a Sail Fish (released), 2 12-pound white fish and ....... a 25 lb. Yellow Tail which was delicious after Alfredo filleted it for us. 5 hrs. later we were having ceviche and grilling fillets. This was a great trip, and I recommend it for anyone and heading out a 6 am was a treat watching the sun rise as we heading 25 miles off the coast of Loreto. Thank you again Alfredo!!! Bendiciones...

    Exactly what i paid for

    Sportfishing All Inclusive Package • 2 adults

    Our fishing trip was exactly what I paid for. Since it was my first time fishing in Loreto, I wasn't really sure what to expect. I simply told them we wanted to catch fish and that we were happy to target whatever was biting that day. They put us right on the fish, and we had an awesome time. Everything that was discussed beforehand was exactly how it went. They were incredibly easy to get ahold of before the trip, answered all of my questions, and made the whole experience simple—just show up, fish, and take home what we wanted to keep. I really appreciate when things go exactly as planned, especially with a new experience in a new place. I would definitely book with them again the next time I'm in Loreto. Highly recommend!

    We had an awesome day out fishing! We caught a good amount of fish, had a great time, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The captain really knew his business and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a great fishing experience. We would definitely go again!

    all of our expectations were met! While it toook some time to hook the first fish, the captain put us on fish all day. It was quite a comedy watching two old guys reel catch in from 350 feet down, but we persisted and ended up with 15 fish. A trip we wont forget.
