When is the best fishing in San Carlos?

Fishing in San Carlos is excellent year round. Different times of the year mean different species of fish. Check our fishing calendar to see the best time of year to target specific fish.

What is provided with an hourly charter?

You get the boat, the captain, crew, ice, bait, equipment - everything you need to catch the trophy fish of your dreams! You are welcome to bring your own tackle and equipment if desired. We are more than happy to filet your catch. We'll bag it up in one gallon plastic baggies in manageable amounts. You are responsible for what you want to eat and drink and can bring whatever you want. If you have any special requests just ask. Anything can be arranged if we have time to set things up.

How much should I tip the crew?

A 15 to 20% tip is customary. We cannot guarantee that you will be successful in your fishing adventure, however, we will do our best to find the best fishing spots for the type of catch you are looking for.

What documents do we need to come to Mexico and fish?

Generally all you need is a passport. You can still travel with a Birth certificate and photo I.D. until June 2009. We strongly suggest to our American and European customers to get a passport if you don't have one now. You also need a Mexican Fishing License which are easy to obtain here in San Carlos.

What is your policy on deposits and trip payments?

A non-refundable deposit is necessary to hold your reservation. If you cancel or don't reschedule your trip, the deposit will be forfeited. A deposit holds your spot. The balance is due prior to trip departure in cash. Dollars or Pesos are accepted.
