Early Summer - June and July
Consistently productive and our best values, these trips coincide with summer warming trends and often intercept the first schools of Albacore, Bluefin tuna, and Yellowfin tuna on their migrations North. Alijos Rocks is the main destination with early conditions favoring Yellowfin Tuna to 100#, the occasional Wahoo, and trophy Yellowtail up to 80#.
Summer
As an introduction to long range fishing a summer 1 1/2 to 3 or 4 day trip will provide you with a detailed glimpse of the fishing action our customers experience, and the comforts and service we offer as part of the complete long range experience.
Excellent fishing for Albacore, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Dorado and Yellowtail is often found in the rich U.S. and Mexican waters. Offshore fishing dominates the action while a visit to one of Baja's coastal or offshore islands is often a part of the journey. Such legendary spots as Isla Guadalupe, Isla San Benitos and Islas Cedros have provided our anglers with a long list of fishing memories as well as scenic splendor.
Fall 10, 11 and 12 Day Trips
For an avid angler seeking variety, our fall ten, eleven and twelve day voyages target every size and species of game fish Southern Baja's fertile waters offer.

Any substantial increase in fuel cost will be calculated and added to fares using the following formula: price increase x estimated fuel usage during voyage divided by the number of anglers and length of voyage.
