Your trip starts on a 30’ Nava center console that can sit up to 5 anglers. Powered by twin 115 Mercury engines, the boat will take you to your fishing spots in no time.

The boat’s equipped with downriggers, tuna tubes, snorkeling gear, a fighting chair, and a livewell. To further improve your experience, you’ll have the help of a first mate, an ice-box, and there’s also a portable toilet you can use.

On your trip, you can go after Mahi Mahi, Roosterfish, Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Snapper, Bonito, and other prized species. There’s a wide variety of fishing techniques you can use to reel in your prey. Using light and heavy tackle, you can bottom fish, deep sea fish, troll, spin, jig, pop, drift fish, fly fish, kite fish, and even bow fish. Both you and the crew can keep your catch. Kids are free to come aboard.

Captain Ildefonso will provide you with all the fishing gear, live bait, lures, water, and ice. Bring your licenses, food, and drinks before you start the trip and you’ll be all set.

Captain Ildefosno has lived all his life near the sea. Coming from a family of fishermen, his father and mother taught him to do what he's passionate about. When the captain was a child, his life was always at sea, with his parents making their living day by day by fishing. He grew up and studied to be a boat captain. Now at 62 years, he considers himself a son of the sea and dedicates himself to delivering boats inside and outside the country and sport fishing.
