About Your Trip

Go for the Big One – Marlin fishing in Salinas, Ecuador

If you’re chasing that one unforgettable fight — the kind that bends rods, burns drags, and leaves you breathless — Salinas is your spot. This is where we target big striped and blue marlin, not just for numbers, but for size.

Our boat, a classic 28-foot Bertram, is built for offshore action and fully equipped with a fighting chair, outriggers, GPS, and pro tackle. Our experienced crew knows the waters and will take you up to 40 miles out to proven marlin grounds.

We troll with teasers and baits, and depending on the season, you could hook into a beast. It’s all about patience, precision, and the moment that reel screams. Bring your crew and get ready — this is a hunt for the big one.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
