Galapagos Islands fishing charters, Marlin

Since Charles Darwin voyaged to the Galapagos Islands in 1835, the world has never been the same. During his time there, he collected specimens of animals that had never been seen before. The desert-like volcanic islands seem to promise little of interest at first glance, until a giant tortoise lumbers by and bright colored shapes energetically flap their wings. Far from a lifeless desert, the Galapagos is the stage where Earth's vibrant life force plays out each day, uninhibited by the anxiety that natural world is susceptible to.

Once again, Artmarina which has pioneered the waters of Guatemala and Brazil’s Royal Charlotte Bank, is back for yet another bow into the incredibly rich sport fishing waters of the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos Islands are the perfect getaway for those looking to bring family or have a good time with friends. World famous for the extensive migrations of all types of pelagic fish, Galapagos is a true billfish destination promising good shots at blue, black and striped marlin. Complete vacation packages are available for all budgets and all group sizes. The small town of Puerto Ayora, home to all our anglers is the economic center of the archipelago, with the highest population and greatest number of tourist facilities.

This exquisitely maintained 35' Bertram, absolutely typical of its fame as a fish-raising hull, powered by a pair of Cummins 6BTA 5.9-M3 engines. Trueno is equipped with the full electronics package. Recommended for 5 or fewer anglers, she will comfortably fish four anglers. At the helm is Capt. Mike Gibbs to guide you through the magnificent wonders of the pristine islands.

The ocean currents largely determine Galapagos Islands' weather. Normally from June - December, there is a cold current rising from the south which creates a cool moist fog called a garúa close to the ocean making the climate rather cool and dry. In December, the wind has less force; the ocean is calm and the currents change, surrounding the islands in the warm Panama Current from the North. These currents create a definable weather pattern of hot sunny mornings followed by clouds and occasional showers in the afternoons. Needless to say, this is usually the favorite time to visit.

In other words: June - December cool, cloudy and dry season. December - June, warm, sunny and rainy season.
