Fishing Report

Fly Fishing

The Sea and Sand Experience (Experiencia Mar y Tierra S.A. de C. V.) is a family owned sport fishing and water activity business that takes pride in our ability to treat our clients on a personal level. We are a small enough business that each guest gets individual attention to their agenda or requirements.
We are backed by the reputation that 9 out of 10 previous clients will repeat when they vacation again in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo. We let you customize your sport fishing experience so that we can help fulfill your expectations of a memorable vacation.

Whether you want to go offshore and target giant tuna in excess of 200 pounds, catch a blue marlin, or release several sailfish, the serious fisherman will find that we have everything it takes for serious fishing.
One of our most popular trips the whole family enjoys, is to fish a half a day and then head over to Ixtapa Island to lunch on your fresh caught fish. You can sit under the shade of a palapa while sipping on a cool one, snorkel in the ecological preserve, or rent kayaks and Wave Runners. It is a full day of doing exactly what you came here to do.

It does not matter if you are a well traveled and serious fisherman, or it is your first time to Mexico and first time fishing in salt water. Our personal attention to your needs and skill level will ensure you a fantastic experience.

The Fleet

The sport fishing fleet we use in our operations is moored and embarks from Puerto Mio in Zihuatanejo Bay. We have a total of 12 cruisers and 10 pangas operated by the best captains on the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo coast. We can target any species of fish you wish to pursue. We are licensed, insured, and have all the proper safety equipment, including marine radios.

Like all the other sport fishing boats in the fleet that embark from the Municipal Pier in Zihuatanejo or Marina Ixtapa, if it is not specifically stated, your transportation to and from the hotel by taxi, lunch and live bait must be provided for or paid for by the client. They fish a 7 to 8 hour day with the boats leaving at 7:00 in the morning and returning around 2:00 in the afternoon.

Please e-mail me for additional photos, information, or magazine articles written about the captains.

   Owned and operated by Captain Alberto (Chiquis) Hernandez. The "Intruza" is a 34 foot twin diesel powered Radon cruiser, with an extremely wide beam and a spacious cabin, the "Intruza" ensures a very comfortable ride for up to six passengers under any conditions.
   Chiquis is one of the best captains in the area and year round, even though he is not a perfect 100% to catch the targeted species, he is as close to a guaranteed thing as you can get.
   The "Intruza" rents for $415 a day including 1^st class tackle, cut bait, beverages, drinking water, ice, and fishing license.

Vamanos

$375 to $425 US per day

~ The Vamonos ~

   Captain Jaime Morales Cortez owns 3 Bertram cruisers, ranging from 31 to 33 feet. It does not matter if you are on the "Vamonos", "Vamonos II", or the "La Kirrurris"... these diesel powered cruisers will give you a great day on the water.
   When Jaime is not himself at the helm, his personally selected and trained captains will put you on the fish. Like most of the best captains fishing here, with several charters a week, they get their information as to the hottest fishing areas from their own on the water experiences.
   The cruisers rent for $375 to $415 a day and include 1st class tackle, cut bait, drinking water, beverages, ice, and licenses.

~ Pangas ~

To charter one of our covered pangas is an inexpensive way for two people to enjoy a day on the water with a world class captain. The pangas get to the fishing grounds quicker than a cruiser, yet have all the features of the bigger boats, (outriggers, live wells, fighting chairs, etc.).
A few of the captains available are Santiago, currently the number 3 sailfish tag and release captain in the world, Luís for the 200 pound plus yellowfin tuna, and Martín or Adolfo for roosterfish. All of them have had magazine articles written up about them and they have been featured on TV fishing shows.

Panga Rates

Sailfish (normal day)	$210
Tuna special	$325
Roosterfish special	$240
Fly fishing (American guide)	$360

The panga is the mainstay of the entire fishing industry in Mexico and to fish on a panga is an experience that should be tried by every adventurous fisherman.

Reservations

Contact Info

If you wish to make a reservation, a 1/2 deposit must be made at least two days in advance of the charter and I will go to your hotel to pick it up. It would be better for a guaranteed confirmation of the date by mailing a personal check or money order of at least $50.00 to the U.S. Bank in Temecula, California. (I will give you all the info by e-mail). Then I can come by your hotel at 6:00 in the evening, two days prior to the charter, to pick up the balance of the 1/2 deposit.
