Relax and Lunch on a paradise beach

After we have done plenty of fishing, let’s go to the beach and enjoy what the ocean has given us. Our Captain will make fresh ceviche or carpacho with the fish we caught, if possible, while you have a picnic by the beach under the trees. Our staff will cook the fish on a special BBQ along with other meats like pork and chicken, salad, fresh fruit, snacks, and cool drinks. You can relax on the beach, sit in a chair, or nap in a hammock. When you are ready, we will get back on the boat and back to your departure point

Catch your lunch

If you are going with your family or small children and want to enjoy a fun, relaxing day of fishing, consider a Fishing & Beach BBQ tour. These trips are exciting and enjoyable, but they are also calmer and usually have fewer waves due to their proximity to the coast.

We often catch roosterfish, amberjacks, cubera snapper, black tuna, jacks, grouper, and mackerel. Many of these are great for a beach BBQ.
