    Absolutely excellent.
    The entire experience was superb. The owner is very easy to talk to and is very experienced and accomadating. We went out on a cloudy cold day and the driver still found a sunny spot with lots of fish. We were catching tons of fish like within a minute of casting a line. If youre looking for a good fishing trip in penasco look no further

    I used Rocky Point Fishing Club on July 21, 2022 which included my wife and 2 teenage boys. WE HAD A BLAST!! I booked an afternoon half day boat from 1230-430. Captain Carlos and Deck Hand Dillion were awesome. Dillion had the boys lines baited and ready to go each time they brought up a fish. This allowed us to concentrate on fishing. The boat was clean and had a nice restroom which the wife loved!! We caught Trigger, Bass and Corvina and Dillion had them cleaned and filet before we docked. We even got to see a Whale Shark on the way back in!! Top notch crew, boat and Ramon at the charter desk took care of all the booking needs and kept great communications prior to our trip. Feel safe and comfortable using this company!!

    Here's the skinny:

    You should consider these two fishing services as one in the same since they are intertwined and all boats, captains, and first mates are booked by Esther, for 10 years now! My experience has been positive from the first booking call to loading a fish filled ice chest back into the car.

    That being said, on rockypointfishingservices.com website I found an incredible amount of information (in english), lots of photos of great catches, videos of great catches, pricing, boat information and photos, as well as their other excursion offerings. It's worth spending time looking at this website (good job guys).

    When you call Esther on the US telephone number, be prepared to give a credit card which will NOT be charged unless you are a "no-show." Book your trip (ours was a six hour 8am to 2pm at a distance of 10 to 15 miles out). Pay in cash when boarding the boat. I also recommend taking extra cash to tip your Captain and First Mate to show your appreciation.

    Also, take an ice chest with beverages and snacks; it's good to take more than what you think in the event you wish to share for those who didn't bring supplies. If you feel the need to sit while you are fishing, taking a collapsible chair is advisable.

    The boat we were on was the Caballo del Mar (Seahorse) which was very comfortable in every way. Lounge on the upper shaded deck with the captain at the helm, or hang out in the galley, front or lower fishing deck. Two cabins are under the steerage, as well as the head (bathroom).

    When it's time to fish, the First Mate will be your big big buddy in wetting your hooks immediately. He is also by your side when you haul fish in, re-bait, and get 'er back in the water!

    The harbor had been closed for about a week due to high winds which makes being on the water dangerous. Our trip was the first day the harbor was re-opened. And this is a good time to say that Mother Nature doesn't always agree with our schedules - so if the Harbor Master has shut down the port, trust it is for your safety. It is not fun getting beat up by the waves. Two of our group spent the whole trip laying down because of seasickness and it was a mild wave day.

    Fishing! Yes we caught fish right and left keeping our First Mate very busy. We had visions of Sea Bass, Grouper, Dorado, and Flounder and all we caught were Trigger Fish. These feisty fish will make you work - especially when you hook two at once. They're not my first choice on the grill - but many people like them and we had fun catching them. No fishing service can guarantee what is running around the boat or what wants to pay attention to your hooks, so talk to the fishing gods if you're disappointed. The Captain took us to so many places - the fish we were looking for were just not there. So we played well with others.

    I was very impressed with the First Mate filleting our catch as we headed back to port. Filleting is hard enough on a stable surface - just imagine doing it while the boat is moving!

    Take all of your uncertainty and head explosions from information gathering with other charters and park it somewhere else. These two closely-linked fishing services know that what you want is to get out there and fish, and trust of the integrity of who you are doing business with. Push that EASY button with confidence with these two. I am glad I did (and will do so in the future).
