Great destination for Big game anglers.
Located in the East Cape region of Baja California Sur Mexico and situated on Baja's world-renowned Sea of Cortez, is an area known worldwide as one of the premier vacation and big-game fishing spots in the world. It consistently produces huge numbers of blue, black and striped Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Wahoo, Yellow fin Tuna, Roosterfish plus many more. So rich are the fishing grounds and prolific the bill fishing that this is unquestionably an ideal destination to try and catch your first Marlin or Sailfish. What's more, once you have experienced that thrill, prepare to be surprised again as you try and catch your first Sailfish on a fly.
Everyday you will depart early in the morning with your own captain, boat and crew and set off towards the rising sun on the beautiful Sea of Cortez. Be prepared, as sometimes the action can come quick, other days may involve trolling around trying to spot and raise fish, but most days you will always find some sort of action. You may chase Yellow Fin Tuna under groups of Dolphin, or cast to a free-swimming Marlin on the surface. Everyday is different, but that is fishing and part of the fun and excitement.
This destination and hotel complex was purposely built just for anglers, each day you board your boat from the beach and floating ramp outside the hotel. If you fancy big game fishing with other big game anglers from all over the world, this has to be the place. Each night the bar after dinner is full of fishing stories from the days events, however by around 10pm there’s not a soul to be seen as everyone is beat and tucked up in bed in preparation for another long days fishing.
