I’ve always been passionate about fishing, a love that sparked at the age of 15 in my hometown of Mazatlan. As a kid, I’d constantly patrol the boat docks, looking for any opportunity to fish. Although English is my second language, I’ve found that the language of the sea is universal. Over the past 23 years, I’ve fished the Pacific waters and the Sea of Cortez in Los Cabos, chasing every species imaginable and even reeling in a record Blue Marlin that weighed over 890 lbs. and my personal record for yellowfin tuna last year at 308lbs. Today, I run a tight ship, making sure we provide unforgettable experiences for anglers from all over the globe.
We’re not just about the basics; we bring a creative edge to our fishing techniques. So, are you ready to join me for an adventure at sea where the only thing you’ll need to focus on is the thrill of the catch? Let’s set sail and create memories that will last a lifetime! 🎣

About Your Trip

We've tailored a full-day adventure for up to 6 guests, which covers everything you need for an unforgettable experience: live bait, ice, a selection of beverages tailored to your tastes, a lunch of delectable beef or chicken burritos made fresh, and a variety of snacks including cookies, chips, and fruit. Plus, all the essentials like fuel, fishing gear, a skilled crew, and terminal tackle are included.

For the fishing licenses, they’re $20 per person. We
can arrange them for you in advance; all we need are the first and last names of each guest. Our journey begins at 6 am, and we’ll be back to share tales of the sea by 2:30 pm or a little later. You’ll be aboard our sleek 33ft Blackfin, a vessel designed for both comfort and sport.

In addition to our comprehensive package, we pride ourselves on our versatile fishing approach. We adapt to the sea’s conditions and what the fish are biting on, employing a variety of techniques to ensure your lines stay tight. From lures that mimic the irresistible movements of prey, to kite fishing that takes your bait to new heights, dredges that create an illusion of a school of fish, to teasers that provoke the big game into striking. We also use both live and dead-rigged bait to suit the natural diet of our target species, chum to create a feeding frenzy, and jigging for that hands-on thrill. All these methods and more are at our disposal to provide you with an action-packed day on the water.

Securing your spot is a breeze with a deposit. Get ready to reel in memories that will last a lifetime!
