Offshore sportfishing charter operating out of Marina Pez Vela with full-day, three-quarter day, and multi-day FAD trips targeting marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, and dorado 20 to 130 miles offshore. Boats include an air-conditioned salon and onboard Starlink wifi, and multi-day FAD trips include overnight bunks for two nights at sea. The company also runs a Tortuga Island snorkeling excursion as an add-on option.
We book this boat for our guests as part of the trip: the day, the pickup from the villa, and the fish going to a restaurant that night if you want it cooked. Prices, departure times, and what is included move with the season, so we confirm the current numbers with the captain before you commit.
