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.

Fishing Charter FAQ
What types of fishing charters do you offer?
Three private charters: bay fishing (trolling near the coast, in calm water, perfect for families and beginners), deep sea fishing (trolling in the open ocean for bigger game fish) and bottom fishing (we stop over the reef and drop the bait to the bottom for snapper and grouper).
What is included in the fishing charter?
A private boat, an experienced captain and mate, rods, bait and tackle, a cooler with ice, water and soft drinks, safety equipment and life jackets, fishing licenses and cleaning of your catch.
How long are the trips?
Bay fishing is 4 hours (departs 8:30 AM), deep sea fishing is 6 hours (departs 7:30 AM) and bottom fishing is 5 hours (departs 8:00 AM). Every charter is private, so the departure time can be adjusted on request.
What can we catch?
Bay fishing: snapper, barracuda, triggerfish, jacks, bonito, mackerel and kingfish. Deep sea (by season): mahi-mahi, tuna, wahoo, sailfish and blue or white marlin. Bottom fishing: snapper, grouper and triggerfish.

What should I bring?
Biodegradable sunscreen, hat and sunglasses, light clothing, a towel and a camera or GoPro. Extra snacks or drinks are optional.
Is the tour family friendly?
