Fish with the people that started the fishery in the Galapagos Islands. We are a no nonsense, been around the block company. Whether you are looking to fly fish, bait and switch, light tackle or catch marlin on spinning rods we provide it all. Others have tried to imitate us but the charter industry is not just about putting people on a boat and going for a boat ride. Our tackle is renewed yearly, bait is flown in fresh monthly and our crews have at least one English speaking member onboard.
San Cristobal, Galapagos - Our premium destination:
If you want your best shot in the World to catch striped marlin then you have to fish the banks off of San Cristobal Island. The famous mound of Rosa Blanca Bank, Braden's Bank and Black sheep are 23 to 68 miles from the port of San Cristobal. On most days these banks have produced double digit raises of striped marlin. Blue marlin are no strangers either. Black marlin and sailfish are very rare in the Galapagos a few are caught every few years. In Galapagos we only use 4 stroke gasoline powered engines. Due to the poor quality of diesel fuel and the lack of marinas to work on boats we feel that gasoline powered boats are faster, safer and easier. This provides more time fishing and less time on repairs. The Island of San Cristobal has virtually no crime making it a worry free and safe place to bring the family. While the best time weather wise to catch marlin is November to June, we catch marlin all year in Galapagos.
