What you do

This is a fishing charter, not a guided tour. You get a private boat and a captain for 3, 4 or 5 hours, with no fishing guide on board. If you want one, add a fishing guide for $50.

It is our cheapest way onto the water and a good fit for families and kids, with some snorkeling along the way. The charter does not include a beach stop.

What guests say

"Round two for me in as many weeks—this time, I brought a group fishing. I think the photos speak for themselves—we hit the jackpot, catching numerous Mackerel, with Alon and the crew serving up fresh sashimi and ceviche. We even spotted a whale towards the end of the day, but sadly, the setting sun meant we had to cut our chase short. All in all, another epic day out on the water with Mantra. Thank you!"

"Highly recommend Mantra Tours! I went out with a group of friends on the Blue Tour with Alon and had an absolutely awesome day at sea. We did it all—fishing, exploring deserted beaches, fresh sea-to-stomach ceviche, wakeboarding, and even a surf stop at the renowned Yankie Beach. All in all, an incredible experience, and I’ll definitely be back for more. Thank you!"
