LA VENTANA B.C.S

Our sport fishing trips are designed to provide a dynamic and well-rounded experience on the waters of the Sea of Cortez, guided by local knowledge and adapted to daily conditions, tides, and seasonal species. Trips are approximately 5 hrs and are priced per boat. Each boat accommodates up to 4 anglers, making it ideal for small groups looking to enjoy an exciting day on the water.

Please note that fishing licenses, bait, and gratuities are not included. Trips typically begin early in the morning depending on weather and ocean conditions, and the exact meeting location and time will be shared after booking confirmation.

Advance reservations are recommended to secure your preferred date. A deposit is required at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due on the day of the trip.

Each trip is shaped by the natural conditions of the Sea of Cortez and guided by generations of local knowledge. No two days are the same, and our approach to weather, times, and seasonal species is to provide the best possible experience.
Trips take place in the waters surrounding La Ventana, where both inshore and offshore environments offer a variety of fishing opportunities. Throughout the day, your captain will work closely with you to locate fish, adjust techniques, and ensure a safe, engaging, and rewarding experience.
Sport fishing trips offer a more dynamic and action-driven approach, targeting seasonal species and exploring different fishing grounds depending on conditions.
Above all, we aim to provide an authentic connection to the ocean, combining local expertise, responsible practices, and deep respect for the environment.

For a comfortable and enjoyable day on the water, we recommend wearing lightweight, breathable clothing with full sun protection, including long sleeves, hats and high-SPF sunscreen. The conditions in La Ventana can be warm and bright, making polarized sunglasses essential for both comfort and visibility while fishing.

Depending on the season, early mornings can be cool, so bringing a light jacket or additional layer is recommended. As the day progresses, temperatures typically rise, making layered clothing the best option for staying comfortable throughout the trip.

Guests are welcome to bring a swimsuit if they wish to get in the water during the experience. We also suggest bringing any personal items you may need for the day, such as medications or additional sun protection.

Please note that a valid fishing license is required for each guest and should be arranged prior to the trip.

We also recommend bringing cash for optional expenses, such as live bait (if used) and gratuities for your guide, which are customary and greatly appreciated.

We are committed to responsible fishing practices and the long-term health of the local ecosystem.
Most of our fishing is conducted under a catch-and-release philosophy, helping preserve fish populations for future generations.

In accordance with local regulations, certain species may be kept when permitted by law. Our team will guide you on current regulations and best practices to ensure a responsible and respectful experience.
