These are based on availability and may not be reserved until you arrive at the hotel. The trip is from 6:40 a.m. to 11 a.m. The cost is 70% of the full day rate.

Night Fishing

During the summer months, night fishing is available for up to 6 people leaving at 5 p.m. and retuning at 9 p.m. This service is based on availability and may not be reserved until you arrive at the hotel. There are several reefs a short distance from the hotel offering a variety of bottom fish to target.

All boats are equipped Okuma and Penn international reels filled with 60-, 40 -, 30- and 20-pound test line. All terminal tackle is included. Neither spinning reels nor surf rods are available, however you are welcome to bring your own tackle if you prefer. With today hassle of bringing rod tubes on the plane, we recommend to pack light and only bring your reels.

He will explain the fishing opportunities available and, based on the fish you want to target, recommend the bait needed. There may be several choices including live large bait (mackerel, caballito, little jacks or mullet), sardina or frozen ballyhoo. These are purchased by you from the pangueros with cash, approximately $20-$35

We Support a Catch-and-Release Philosophy

Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort believes strongly in conserving our natural resources, and supports the Worldwide Billfish Foundation’s catch-and-release program. In fact, 85% of our bill-fish are released to fight another day (more than 1,100 this past year alone). Hotel Buenavista anglers that release a fish are rewarded with a special patch, signifying their commitment to the program.
