Captain knows his stuff

3/4 Day Trip2 adults

Our first charter out of Rocky Point, so we didn't know what to expect. We were not disappointed at all. Don't let the older boat stop you, as everything worked and all equipment was provided. We started out by catching our own bait on light tackle, that was fun in itself. We then went out about 10-12 miles(6 hour charter) and anchored over a reef. The bigger tackle came out and we were into fish immediately. If we stopped getting bites, Jefe kept moving to put us back on. We ended up with 26 triggerfish, and a bonus yellowtail. We did hook a monster that we could not get to budge before it came off. Al in all, great trip, Captain speaks English and had a lot of laughs with him. Definitely going again.

    Great time!

    Half Day Trip (copy) • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time doing the 4 hour trip. We are a family of 4 with a 2 year old and 7 year old. We felt safe the whole time, caught lots of fish, got to drop the reel and everyone had their own pole. We even jumped in the water at one point. The captain would help as much or as little as we preferred. We caught trigger fish, mackerel, bass, and sea trout. They fileted them and we had enjoyed them that same day. They also recommended taking the fresh fish across the street to a Mexican restaurant where they could cook them and serve them to us, but we cooked them ourselves.

    Another GREAT day!

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    Second trip with El jefe! It did not disappoint. Fished with his new captain Dino. not great English, but communication was not a problem as all we did was catch fish. I promised my friends they would catch more fish than they could catch and that happened. We booked a six hour trip and within four hours everybody was so tired from reeling in fish that we cut the trip short. El jefe’s charters is the only one to use in Mexico. Signed El Guapo!

    Great Holiday Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    I took my son on his first fishing trip at sea, and Jefe was our Captain. He was very professional, patient, and knowledgeable. He knew exactly the areas he needed to be in to provide us the best opportunities for fishing. During our 4-hour trip my son and I caught over thirty fish. His boat was clean, and he kept it that way throughout the trip. He had an additional crew member, and that gentleman was extremely professional and knowledgeable as well. Overall, it was a perfect fishing day and a great first experience for my son and me. I would recommend Jefe Boat Charters to anyone.

    thanks for your comments Wayne, I will be ready for your next fishing experience .

    Perfect half day.

    Half Day Trip (copy) • 2 adults

    Captain Jefe and First-mate Dino were super knowledgeable and entertaining. The boat, equipment, bait and locations were all exceptional. On top of a great fishing experience they were great to converse with and turned a successful day of fishing into a day that will be remembered for a long time. I would recommend Jefe to a small group looking for a good time.

    Response from Captain

    hey there Paul, thanks for letting other people know about your experience with the Crew of El Jefe Boat Charters. till next time Jefe Cruz and Dino.
