Pepe's Fleet – Tiger Shark 

My girlfriend and I recently went fishing with Pepe’s Charters in Mazatlán, Mexico, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The crew was welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do, making the entire trip enjoyable and memorable. Everything was handled professionally, and we felt well taken care of throughout the day. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a great day out on the water, I would highly recommend Pepe’s Charters. Fishing in the beautiful waters off Mazatlán was a highlight of our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you to Pepe and the crew for an unforgettable day! We would absolutely fish with you again and recommend Pepe’s Charters to anyone visiting Mazatlán. ¡Muchas gracias!

For my money there is no better boat to go fishing with in Mazatlan than with Pepe’s Fleet. This was our second year going out with them and we had a great time again. While we didn’t get a Marlin this time we landed a couple of nice tuna. Also saw a pod of 150 dolphins that put on a great show around the boat. The boat is great, 2 good fishing chairs to enjoy the day in and reel in your fish. Jose and Georgina are great with communication, provided free transportation to/from the hotel, and included lunch and beers too. And the boat captain Guillermo will always find the fish. Just book it!! 😀👍🐬🐟

Booked with Tiger Shark and Captain Raphael. I arrived in the morning for him waiting for me at the boat and we were off! This boat rips through water like a hot knife through butter! About am hour into the trip we bumped into some Sailfish feeding, but were unable to get their interest. Undeterred Raphael was determined to find fish and myself and him kept scanning the water for any activity. Well a couple hours later the water exploded and a fish was on, with reel screaming. About a 30min fight later I landed in what Captain Raphael said in broken English "Trophy Sailfish". Got the fish into the boat, and he quickly went to work and started setting up fresh bait. About an our later, BAM!!! Reel screaming on one of the outer rod setups. This fish was not happy, the acrobatics were amazing to watch. Another 20-25min fighter later, fish #2 was onboard, this one another Trophy size and a tiny bit smaller than the first one. This was my first time ever being on the ocean. I'm from Winnipeg, MB. Canada right in the middle of the country and have only seen the ocean. I realize I was very lucky that day with not only catching 1, but 2 Trophy sized Sailfish. A HUGE THANK YOU to Raphael and Pepes Fleet for making this quite a special day for me. I WILL BE BACK!!! Sincerely, Chris

Great family ran business! Supurb communication! Punctual! I stayed at El Cid El Moro and booked a trip for just myself, Gabriel picked me up at the hotel and drove me to the marina. He was on time and explained everything on the way to the marina. While dropping me backoff at the hotel he made some great restaurant suggestions and told me about the area. The captain of my trip was Alfredo, he did a great job! I didn’t catch any fish but wasnt for the lack of hustle from Alfredo. He worked his hardest and we had several marlin strikes but did not have any hookup. I am a guide back home and I know how stressful it is to try your hardest but it doesn’t always end in customer “success”. It’s called “fishing” not “catching” for a reason! I definitely will book again with them the next time I am in the area!

Across the board this waa a great fishing trip. We were picked up at our AirBnB, promptly at 6am as agreed. We sailed by 630. Guillermo captained us and Rafael was our our first mate. We caught fish, and got a short tour of the near coast islands. Fish were cleaned, we had a recommended place for prepping and we got a ride back to our place. A+ Thanks for a great day!

We came into Mazatlan via Cruise Ship and Georgina with Pepe's Fleet picked us up and took us to their marina where we boarded with Captain Alfredo. We got out of the harbor and headed out about 20 Kilometers (13 miles) where we started trolling for marlin. I liked that the boat had plenty of power to make the trip out quickly so we didn't waste too much time in transit. We had great luck and landed 2 blue marlin (2 others threw the hook and got away). After we got back, they carved off some large pieces of the meat and Georgina took us to a local restaurant where they prepared it for us 4 different ways. Overall we liked the ceviche the best, but all the preparations were good. We took a cab back to the ship, and were onboard with plenty of time to spare. It was a good fishing trip and I would recommend it.

such a great experience. captain and deck hand were amazing and knowledgeable. caught 7 fish. Tuna , Dorado (Mahi Mahi) and hooked a sail fish (Huge) 7 footer but he flipped in the air a few times and cut the line. Highly recommend this company. 5⭐️

great day all in from the arranged transportation to on the water! Only landed one fish but that was natures fault not the boat captain! they just weren’t biting. We seen lots of marlin swimming and jumping but couldnt get them to commit to the lures although our guide Alfredo did his absolute best to try and entice a bite! seen lots of dolphins and turtles so it was as much a wildlife watching tour as fishing!

Had only one day off the cruise ship in Mazatlan to chase fish. We had an awesome experience with Pepe’s in the past for marlin however the conditions this time were not ideal and actually had a couple of my kids nervous because the swells were so big. The captain was very skilled and did his best but in the end the seas were just too much. Definitely an A for effort but I couldn’t help but think that, due to the conditions, they could have called an audible and maybe taken us for some bottom fishing somewhere safer near shore. Nevertheless. I would use them again in a heartbeat because, as they say, sometimes it’s “fishing and not catching.” The boat and equipment are quality and capable and Georgina(?) was super hospitable making sure we had everything we needed and did amazing again helping us to and from the cruise terminal. We hope to be back again someday.

I couldn’t have asked for a better fishing experience with my son than the day we had with Pepe’s Fleet. We plan to fish with Pepe’s Fleet every time we visit Mazatlán and highly recommend the same for everyone that wants have a great experience. We understand it is not guaranteed to catch fish every time, but Pepe’s Fleet had us feeling like we made the right choice to book with them. In addition to fishing, we had dolphins swimming with the boat, turtles at sea, sea lions, and even saw a whale. We ended the day with a nice marlin and a couple mahi mahi. It was a day my son and I will never forget. We rate Pepe’s Fleet 10/10!
