FAQ

You can do as you please with your catch. You can take it home in a well-sealed cooler, you can take it to a restaurant to be cooked, you can make a replica montage, or you can donate it to the crew. Whatever you want to do with it, we can assist you.

We recommend you bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and a light jacket as the morning or the ride out can be a bit chilly. You can also bring a towel if you think it is necessary. And of course your camera, phone or GoPro to capture these memories. If you believe you may get seasick we have motion-sickness patches for sale at the office or dock. Take Dramamine or other motion-sickness pill at least 45 mins before boarding the boat. Consult with a doctor if necessary.

A Panga is an open skiff with an outboard motor. This type of vessel ranges in size from 22 to 27 feet & usually has a simple fighting chair as well as extra seating for up to 2/3 or 4 passengers at maximum and just one crew member (Captain). Pangas regularly have a “porta potty”, rather than an enclosed toilet & some shade. A regular trip is for 5 hours & usually close to shore, though you may travel anywhere from 1 to 10 miles parallel to the coast, generally up the Pacific side, depending on the fishing season.

Regular fishing boats usually have an inboard motor, two or more crew members (Captain and Deckhand) 1 or 2 fighting chairs, ample shade or cabin and an enclosed bathroom.

Many times we’ve been asked what is a better option, whether full or half day; truthfully the answer should take several factors into consideration. But in short, we recommend a full day trip over a half day trip to increase odds at catching fish and to give the captain and crew more options on what to do with your day of fishing.

This will also depend on weather conditions and the time it takes to get to the fishing grounds. Many times it can take between one and two hours to get out to the fishing grounds themselves, leaving very little time for fishing on a half day. A half day trip may also put the captain in a difficult position, having to go to a different location for fishing that may be closer but that may not result as productive if the best fishing is further out. The fishing season and target species also play a factor in this. For example, if you’re dreaming of catching a big Yellowfin Tuna or to tick that Marlin off your bucket list, then you’re going to have to put in the time, and most likely head out further to land it.

Of course if you have little time in your stay here and want to spend a day out on the water and try your luck, a half day may work nicely for you, especially if the fishing is close by or it is Inshore fishing season. However, keep in mind that if you opt for a Full Day and have had your fill before the 8 hours, you can always decide to come back sooner; just talk to your captain.
