Im a boat owner & salmon fisherman of 20+ years from Canada. I came to Mexico for a holiday with the intention of catching some big game fish and this crew DID NOT disappoint. Captain Mario is young, energetic, and clever; all the qualities you’d want in a charter captain. He put us on the fish and put on a show in the process; guiding the boat and six rods set on the outriggers through two intense billfish bites. We landed a 200 pound Blue Marlin, and an 80 pound Sailfish. This crew is very... More

We booked the six hour tour fish, snorkel, beach.  The weather was great and the crew was super experienced.  The boat was very well maintained and stocked.  We basically relied on the crew for fishing advice as we are novice ocean fishing people.  They got on a school of rooster fish and we nailed three of them in the first ten minutes.  The crew constantly swapped out gear to maximize the potential to land fish.  We really enjoyed the boat ride and saw mantas jumping as well as humpbacks...

I spoke to Captain Mario before the trip and asked that we not troll. He was very accommodating to our request! We spent the first part of the trip chasing birds (my favorite way to fish)!

First Mate Alex was extremely helpful and always right there when needed. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Burton III... More
