Catch & Cook
From the reef to your plate
After your dives, our crew turns your catch into fresh ceviche right on the boat, with red onion, cilantro, lime, tomato and crunchy tostadas. No restaurant, no waiting: you eat what you caught, minutes out of the water. We fillet the rest for you to take home.

Your guide
Never tried it? We teach you
Your freediving guide stays in the water with you the whole time. First, a breathing and safety lesson in shallow water. Then you hunt on the reef at your own pace.
We fish only in permitted zones, with a fishing permit, by freediving (no scuba tanks), and we only take what we will eat.
Your partner or kids do not want to fish? They come along and snorkel the same reef at no extra cost.
What you can catch
Fish you may find
On the reef
Snapper, hogfish and grouper (in season).
Around the reef
Barracuda, jacks, permit and Spanish mackerel.
Your catch, your ceviche
We prepare fresh ceviche on board with your catch, and fillet the rest for you to take home.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience. Ricky and Leandro took great care of us and ensured we were able to get up close and personal with the whale sharks. I highly recommend these gentlemen to take you out!

Bernie and Capt Juan on Nano Shark were amazing! I did the same tour last year with Isla Sea Tours and booked again because of the great experience last year. They made you feel safe in and out of the water.
