Fishing trip in Loreto: Dorado, marlin and sailfish

Cast for marlin and dorado in Loreto's offshore waters

A full-day fishing trip in Loreto aboard a center console with a live English-speaking captain, targeting dorado, marlin and sailfish in summer or yellowtail and deep-water species in winter. Fishing gear, snacks and bottled water are included. You choose whether to add a Loreto fishing license at checkout.

The experience

Loreto has built its reputation on fishing. The local captains have been working these waters for generations, and the marine life here shifts with the seasons: summer brings dorado and marlin (black, Atlantic blue and striped varieties) plus sailfish, ideal for fly fishing. Winter pulls yellowtail and other species from the deep rocks offshore. You spend eight hours on the water in a center console with a captain who knows where to find them.

The boat carries fishing gear ready to use, so you arrive and cast without assembling anything. Soda, bottled water and snacks keep you going through the day. Whether you're fly fishing for summer marlin or working deeper for winter yellowtail, the captain reads the conditions and positions the boat where the fish are feeding. The work is yours. The knowledge is his.
