Fish the Galapagos

A DESTINATION LIKE NO OTHER

Step into a prehistoric angling paradise where the clock has been turned back to a time of absolute abundance. San Cristobal, the crown jewel of the Galapagos, offers a fishery like no other on the planet. Here, you aren't just fishing; you are entering a pristine wilderness where commercial fishing is strictly prohibited, leaving the waters teeming with life. From the moment you leave the pier, you are surrounded by the raw beauty of one of the most protected ecosystems in the world, where the biodiversity is as breathtaking above the surface as it is beneath.

The Epicenter of Billfish Diversity

Prepare for an adrenaline-fueled encounter with the titans of the Pacific. These nutrient-rich waters are legendary for being loaded with massive Striped, Blue, and Black Marlin. Whether you are chasing the sheer numbers of high-jumping Stripies or the brute power of a 500-pound Blue, San Cristobal delivers a world-class shot at the "Grand Slam" of your dreams. Every time your line hits the water, you are in the strike zone for a fish of a lifetime, supported by an ecosystem that has remained virtually untouched for generations.

Wildlife Beyond the Reel

The Galapagos experience extends far beyond the bite. While you wait for the outrigger to snap, you’ll share the horizon with an incredible cast of residents. Watch Frigates soar overhead, spotting bait balls from the clouds, while curious Sea Lions lounge along the shoreline and playful pods of dolphins escort your boat to the fishing grounds. It is a rare, immersive connection with nature that makes every minute on the boat feel like a scene from a documentary, ensuring that even the ride out is a highlight of your trip.

YOUR DREAM DESTINATION IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK

Seamless Island Transit
Getting to your dream fishery is easier than ever. Most international flights land in Guayaquil or Quito, and thanks to streamlined transit, you can often check through to San Cristobal without ever leaving the airport. This seamless connection means you spend less time in terminals and more time on the water, arriving at the islands refreshed and ready for the first strike.
Elite Gear by Magictail Outfitters
We don't just put you on the fish; we ensure you have the best tools to land them. Our fleet is fully outfitted with world-class gear from Magictail Outfitters, specifically selected for the brute strength of Galapagos marlin. From custom-built stand-up rods to tournament-winning lures, you’ll be fishing with the exact same professional-grade equipment used by the world's most elite offshore anglers.
Custom Tours and Extended Charters
While the marlin are the main event, the adventure doesn't have to end there. We offer a variety of additional tours, including snorkeling at the iconic Kicker Rock, highland tortoise excursions, and coastal wildlife safaris. If you find yourself wanting more time on the reel, extra fishing days can be easily added to your package, allowing you to fully customize your ultimate Galapagos expedition.

A Landscape Forged in Fire and Foam

As you leave the harbor, the true majesty of San Cristobal reveals itself in a dramatic display of volcanic architecture. Towering cliffs of dark basalt rise sharply from the Pacific, standing as silent sentinels against the rhythmic power of the ocean waves. These ancient rock piles, weathered by eons of salt and spray, create a stark, beautiful contrast against the deep sapphire hues of the sea. It is a rugged, prehistoric shoreline that reminds you exactly why the Galapagos remains a place of myth and wonder—a backdrop that makes every hookup feel like an epic encounter at the edge of the world.
