Bibi Fleet Sportfishing has been central to Mazatlán’s sportfishing scene since 1946, when founder Ernesto Coppel Sr. launched the city’s first deep-sea fishing operation. This family-owned fleet has grown alongside Mazatlán, evolving to meet the needs of anglers from around the world seeking high-quality fishing experiences in these productive waters. Now managed by Tadeo Hernández Kelly, Bibi Fleet continues its legacy of excellence from the new Marina Mazatlán. As Latin America’s largest and most modern marina, this upgraded base allows Bibi Fleet to offer faster, more comfortable boats equipped with the latest fishing gear for a seamless experience on the water.
Anglers can choose from a variety of specialized trips tailored to all skill levels and schedules, from half-day inshore fishing excursions to full-day deep-sea charters. The four-hour deep-sea trips are perfect for shorter adventures targeting species like dorado, jack crevalle, and skipjack tuna, with a chance to reel in a bigger catch. For those more inclined toward inshore waters, shorter trips focus on local favorites such as white seabass, croaker, amberjack, grouper, and sierra mackerel. Half-day sightseeing and snorkeling options are also available, allowing anglers to fish, explore Mazatlán’s coastline, and even stop at Deer Island for a swim. Full-day trips combine deep-sea and inshore fishing, giving anglers a chance to explore both environments in one day while pursuing marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, and snapper. For cruise ship passengers, Bibi Fleet offers convenient five-hour trips designed to maximize time on shore, with generous capacities for groups and families alike.
Bibi Fleet Sportfishing’s boats are equipped to ensure both comfort and top performance. The ‘Paty C,’ a 40-foot cruiser with a 200 HP diesel engine, features a flybridge, outriggers, live wells, and a fighting chair. The ‘Mahi Dreamer,’ a 26-foot fishing boat, has space for four anglers and is wheelchair-accessible. With additional center consoles, larger cruisers, and updated equipment, Bibi Fleet’s vessels are suited for everything from fishing to sightseeing in style. Each boat is equipped with modern marine electronics and safety features, including restrooms, live bait tanks, and ice-boxes, for a comfortable experience. All equipment is regularly maintained, and crews are trained to prioritize both safety and success on the water, with a “Catch and Release” policy for sustainable fishing.
To enhance the experience, Bibi Fleet offers special packages that include accommodations at their recently restored, ocean-view hotel in Mazatlán’s popular Golden Zone. These deals allow anglers to relax, explore, and fish without the hassle of planning each detail.
