Arrive and Fish
Built for a father and son, or a few buddies who want a taste. Leave Arizona early Friday, check in, and be on the boat by 3 p.m. You fish the closer reefs, come back with dinner, and still have Saturday for the beach, a second trip, or nothing at all.
Weekend Half Day
The classic guys' weekend. Friday night on the rooftop, Saturday morning on the water, fish tacos Saturday night. Six guys split the boat and the house.
Full Day Crew Trip
The big one. Ten guys, one house, one boat, a full day on the far reefs for bigger grouper, snapper, and sea bass. Thursday arrival gives you a buffer day if the wind moves the trip.
See What We Coordinate
- The boat. We confirm the date with a partner captain and pick the best day around the tides and wind.
- The gear. The captain provides rods, reels, tackle, and bait.
- The licenses. The captain handles Mexican fishing licenses at the dock.
- The cleaning. The crew cleans and fillets your catch at the dock.
- The freezer. The lodge freezer holds your fillets until you drive home.
- You bring: drinks and coolers.

Follow a Sample Itinerary
Thursday: Drive down, cross at Lukeville, stock up on groceries and ice in town, check in at 3 p.m. Sunset on the roof, dinner at JJ's Cantina across the street.
Friday: Fishing day. Be at the harbor by about 7:30 a.m. for an 8 a.m. departure (the harbor is about 15 to 20 minutes from the lodge). Fish the far reefs, back around 5 p.m. The crew cleans the catch at the dock. Fish tacos at the lodge.
Saturday: Sleep in. Shore fish Cholla Bay on the incoming tide, ride the beach, or hit the fish market for shrimp. If wind moved Friday's trip, this is your backup day.
Sunday: Pack the coolers from the freezer, check out by 11 a.m., and drive home. Declare your fish at the border. See bringing fish back from Mexico.
Customize Your Trip
- Add a second boat day. Book an afternoon trip on arrival day and a full day later.
- Mix it up. Add a Bird Island trip for sea lions or a shore fishing session.
- Bring the non-anglers. The lodge sleeps 10, so anyone who skips the boat has the beach, the roof, and town.
- Stay longer. Stays of 7 nights or more get 15% off the nightly rate.
Know How Payment Works
- The lodge is paid to us, 100% when you approve your quote. Full refund if you cancel 21 or more days before arrival; non-refundable inside 21 days. A $350 refundable security deposit is collected separately.
- The boat is paid to the captain through the captain's booking link. Charters are non-refundable except for weather or a port closure, which the captain reschedules or refunds under their policy. We help move it to another day of your stay.
- Tips go to the crew in cash. See how much to tip a fishing charter.
