Live the Pacific Fins Experience

Fishing on a Budget

In addition to our “Performance” and “Luxury” Packages we have an “Economy” Package that has been a big hit with clients over the last 2 seasons.

Two-day fishing packages start as low as $1,875 per person fishing 4 per boat.

We use our beautiful 35′ Strike Boat Aguardiente for Economy Packages. That is the only difference!

You will still receive all the other wonderful amenities Pacific Fins Resort has to offer. We only have ONE boat for these packages per week! We encourage you to start looking at this ASAP if interested.

This is a great cost savings for those anglers wanting to experience our incredible offshore fishery who may not have been able to make it in the past because of price.

Our US Office is happy to help answer any questions to determine if this package is right for you, your family or your buddies! 1-888-700-3467
