Cooler water, calm days. A good season if you're just starting out.
Come fishing with us in the Bay of La Paz
We're local captains. We head out every day before sunrise from Marina La Costa, on our own boats. You bring your gear, we bring the rest.
- 6 to 8 hours
- Trip length
- 5:00 to 7:00 am
- You pick the departure time
- Up to 5 guests
- No minimum, no age limit
- 365 days a year
- We sail all year round
We're not an agency. We're the ones taking you out
No middlemen, no offices here. Whoever answers the WhatsApp is the same person tying up the boat before dawn, and the owners run trips as captains too. We've known this bay since we were kids and we still fish it on the days we aren't taking guests out.
Every trip is yours alone — the boat is never shared with strangers. First time fishing? Don't worry, the captain will show you how to cast and how to fight the fish. And if something didn't go the way you hoped, tell us straight. That's how we sort things out around here.
What's biting
The bay changes through the year. Here's what has been running, so you know what to expect before you come — and so we don't sell you a story.

Still running well, and fewer boats on the water.
The sea makes no promises and neither will we. If the day looks slow, we'll tell you before we head out. Ask us on WhatsApp how the week is going.
What your trip includes
We'd rather tell you here than at the dock: this is what you're paying for, what you bring yourself, and what you can ask us for on the side.
The whole pangaYours and your group's. Never shared with another booking.
Local captainOut in this bay every day, and he knows where the fish are.
Cooler with iceFor your catch and for whatever you bring on board.
6 to 8 hoursYou leave between 5:00 and 7:00 am, at the time you pick.
What you bring
- Your fishing gear
- Your fishing licence
- Photo ID
- Sunscreen and a cap — the sun is harsh even on an early start
- A light jacket, it's chilly on the water at 5am
- Motion sickness tablets if you're prone, taken before boarding, not after
- A cooler if you want to take your catch home
What you can ask us for
None of this is in the base price, but we'll sort it out with you before you sail.
- Fishing gearIf you don't have your own, give us notice and we'll get it for you.
- BaitTell us before the trip and we'll have it ready at the dock.
- Lunch on boardAdded when you book, in the same step as the payment.
- Ride to the dockIf you need one, we'll quote it with you on WhatsApp.
What a day with us looks like
CONAPESCA
Your fishing licence
In Mexico every person fishing on board needs their own CONAPESCA licence. It is not in the price of the trip because it's a personal permit, issued in your name. It's the step guests ask about most, so here it is in full.
- 1You get it onlineThe whole thing is done on the internet and takes a few minutes. No office visit, and no need to show up early at the dock for it.
- 2Pick how long it lastsThere are daily, weekly, monthly and yearly licences. For a one-off trip, the daily one is enough.
- 3One per personEveryone on board carries their own, in their own name. Having it on your phone is enough — no need to print it.
Rather not deal with it?
Message us before your trip and we'll walk you through it. Much easier to sort out from home than at five in the morning on the dock.
Ask us on WhatsAppWhat people who've come say
We'd rather they told you themselves.

We left at 5am and by 7 we already had dorado in the boat. The captain knew every corner of the bay.
