    Pepe’s is Absolutely Top Notch!!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    My girlfriend and I recently went fishing with Pepe’s Charters in Mazatlán, Mexico, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The crew was welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do, making the entire trip enjoyable and memorable. Everything was handled professionally, and we felt well taken care of throughout the day. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a great day out on the water, I would highly recommend Pepe’s Charters. Fishing in the beautiful waters off Mazatlán was a highlight of our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you to Pepe and the crew for an unforgettable day! We would absolutely fish with you again and recommend Pepe’s Charters to anyone visiting Mazatlán. ¡Muchas gracias!

    Great Customer Experience

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Pepe's Fleet has outstanding customer service. They picked us up from the hotel 5 minutes early and that was the beginning of an outstanding day. The lady who picks you up is very kind and starts your experience off in a very pleasant way. She said they are a family run business and you can tell. She was dedicated to making the trip as pleasant as possible. As a charter captain myself, I understand the importance of a great customer experience. This trip exceeded my expectations. The fishing was secondary because the experience was so great. The Captain brought us to the fishing grounds and let us catch our own bait with a sabiki rig. The live bait allowed us to catch a dorado on every cast. They also provided ballyhoo which worked very well trolling at slow speeds. There was a restroom on the boat and they filleted all the fish. Top notch experience all around from start to finish. If you're looking for a pleasant time and no hassle, this is the fishing charter for you.

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    So fun I wrote a poem! Roses are red our boat was blue it was raining and choppy I threw up too! The end. The trip was a great adventure!!! Tony picked us up and took us to the marina and also returned us to the ship- He made the process easy and even waited while we grabbed some snacks! Cpt Guillermo and Mate David were amazing and fought against the elements to try and get some fish on board. The boat was clean, sturdy, and the equipment was well cared for. My wife and son had a blast laughing at me while I turned green. Even though no fish were landed we all had fun and great memories were made - I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to catch fish or feed fish - take some certs or tums or something just in case!

    Pepe’s Fleet delivers again!!! 😀

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    For my money there is no better boat to go fishing with in Mazatlan than with Pepe’s Fleet. This was our second year going out with them and we had a great time again. While we didn’t get a Marlin this time we landed a couple of nice tuna. Also saw a pod of 150 dolphins that put on a great show around the boat. The boat is great, 2 good fishing chairs to enjoy the day in and reel in your fish. Jose and Georgina are great with communication, provided free transportation to/from the hotel, and included lunch and beers too. And the boat captain Guillermo will always find the fish. Just book it!! 😀👍🐬🐟

    Childhood dream come true

    Full Day Trip • 1 adult

    Booked with Tiger Shark and Captain Raphael. I arrived in the morning for him waiting for me at the boat and we were off! This boat rips through water like a hot knife through butter! About am hour into the trip we bumped into some Sailfish feeding, but were unable to get their interest. Undeterred Raphael was determined to find fish and myself and him kept scanning the water for any activity. Well a couple hours later the water exploded and a fish was on, with reel screaming. About a 30min fight later I landed in what Captain Raphael said in broken English "Trophy Sailfish". Got the fish into the boat, and he quickly went to work and started setting up fresh bait. About an our later, BAM!!! Reel screaming on one of the outer rod setups. This fish was not happy, the acrobatics were amazing to watch. Another 20-25min fighter later, fish #2 was onboard, this one another Trophy size and a tiny bit smaller than the first one. This was my first time ever being on the ocean. I'm from Winnipeg, MB. Canada right in the middle of the country and have only seen the ocean. I realize I was very lucky that day with not only catching 1, but 2 Trophy sized Sailfish. A HUGE THANK YOU to Raphael and Pepes Fleet for making this quite a special day for me. I WILL BE BACK!!! Sincerely, Chris

    Across the board this waa a great fishing trip. We were picked up at our AirBnB, promptly at 6am as agreed. We sailed by 630. Guillermo captained us and Rafael was our our first mate. We caught fish, and got a short tour of the near coast islands. Fish were cleaned, we had a recommended place for prepping and we got a ride back to our place. A+ Thanks for a great day!
