THE SEASONS

Big-game and seasonal targets

Two distinct seasons steer expectations: summer trips commonly target dorado and marlin (including black, Atlantic blue and striped marlin) and sailfish, while winter trips focus on yellowtail and other deeper-reef species.

THE ROUTE

Local techniques and live-bait stops

The day begins on the malecon and includes a stop to pick up live bait before trying different techniques and fishing spots as the crew works the productive waters off Loreto.

THE EXPERIENCE

World-class fishing in a historic village

Loreto’s reputation as a fishing village is more than tourism copy—its abundant, year-round marine life and the passion of local fishermen make a day on a panga a memorable way to connect with the sea.
