San Carlos is without
doubt the best place in the state to go and fish, with calm waters,
comfortable temperatures, modern infrastructure, 700 slips for boats
divided in two marinas, rental facilities and the main attraction: more
than 800 varieties of maritime species that place the area second place
in the world. In the last year alone, more than 15,000 fishermen visited
San Carlos. |

THE SEASONS AND WHAT THEY ARE CATCHING Summer is the best time of the year to practice sport fishing. This is the time of year for the capture of sailfish, dolphin, marlin skyjack and sierra. The deep-sea fish that is also sought during the winter is cabrilla, pinto bass, snapper, whitefish and yellow tail, which often reaches 40 pounds.

WHO DO WE CALL TO GO FISHING San Carlos is fortunate to have an excellent
group of Sports Fishing companies that know the Sea of Cortez like the
back of their hand. If it is sports fishing you want, you have certainly
come to the right place:
San Carlos also offers an exceptional
access to the Sea of Cortés (also known as the Gulf of California) with
two world class marinas. Actually, the Marina San Carlos is the largest
natural marina in all of Latin America. Together, Marina Real and Marina
San Carlos offer over 750 slips – a great way to start a scuba
diving or sports fishing experience.
