General FAQs

Can I keep the fish I catch?

Yes! You may choose to keep your catch or practice catch and release. If you decide to keep it, our crew will clean and fillet the fish for you. However, please note that in Mexican culture, selling your fish or taking more than you can consume or share immediately is discouraged. Any leftovers are typically kept by the crew as part of their wages.
Is a catch guaranteed?

While we can’t guarantee a catch, it’s rare for an angler to return empty-handed. After all, if catching was guaranteed, it wouldn’t be called fishing!
Can I bring fish back to the U.S.?

Yes, as long as it’s frozen and stored in a leak-proof container. Check with your airline for baggage policies and fees. If you're on a cruise, confirm with your cruise line as most do not allow fish on board.
Do boats have restrooms?

Yes, all our boats are equipped with restrooms for your convenience.
