On vacation in Coronado, San Carlos or Playa Blanca and looking for something different to do with the kids? Majo Fishing Lodge’s 4-hour family fishing trip is a relaxed outing close to the coast, designed for families, children, grandparents and groups. The boat is private for your group and departs from Vista Mar Marina in San Carlos, a short drive from Coronado.
What the trip is like
- Length: 4 hours.
- Boat: Stamas 39 “Majo V”, private for your family.
- Guests: up to 8.
- Price: US$900 per boat, excluding ITBMS.
- Departure: usually around 8:00 AM; we confirm the exact time when you book.
- Area: close to the coast of the Pacific Riviera, with no long runs offshore.
What can you catch?
We stay close to the coast and target mainly small and medium-size species, perfect for kids to feel the bite and land their first fish. These waters hold species such as roosterfish, snapper, amberjack and Spanish mackerel, depending on the season and the day.
Dolphins and other marine life are common along the way, and humpback whales visit in August and September. Nobody can promise a fish or a sighting, but the crew works hard to make the day worth it.

Tips for fishing with kids
- Tell us the children’s ages when you book, so the crew is ready.
- Sunscreen, hats and sunglasses for everyone.
- A light breakfast before you go; it helps prevent seasickness.
- A change of clothes and a towel. With fish on board, someone always gets wet.
- A camera or phone in a waterproof bag, for the photo with the first fish.
- Patience and a good mood: the sea decides when the fish bite.
