Captain Hernando Robles
Nickname: Magallon
Tele & WhatsApp: 52 322 109 7564
Hernando, a true native of Boca, was raised with a deep connection to fishing ingrained in his upbringing. His endearing nickname, Magallon, originates from his Grandpa's recollection of a fish peddler named Magallon whose robust voice echoed similar tones to young Hernando's. From that moment on, he's been known as Magallon.
A devoted family man, Hernando christened his Panga "Mayrln" after his eldest daughter. Like many in Boca, he bears the surname Robles and shares a familial bond with Sergio, another esteemed Captain among our trio.
Despite his remarkable skills, Hernando has relied solely on word-of-mouth for promotion. Through our website, we aim to broaden his reach, allowing more individuals to bask in his infectious smile and wealth of fishing expertise.

Nickname: El Mariachi
Mario is a distinguished figure in Boca, celebrated for his unwavering support of the community and his dedicated activism. With 15 years of extensive fishing expertise and an active role as a tour operator, he possesses a wealth of knowledge in the field.
Mario particularly delights in hosting family groups and imparting his wisdom to young beginners. You might recognize him from the "Fishing with the California Dozen" video, where he's seen enjoying a day out with a family.
As a child, Mario's passion for dancing and strumming his guitar earned him the affectionate nickname "Mariachi loco."

WHY BOCA?
Our Panga-exclusive trips offer both affordability and intimacy. Pricing is structured around the Panga, crew, and equipment, rather than on a per-fisherman basis. To ensure a comfortable experience, we suggest a maximum of 4-5 anglers per trip. Half-day excursions are particularly favored, especially among beginners and families.
Expect typical inshore catches such as Bonito, Dorado, Jack Crevalle, Needlefish, Barracuda, and Roosterfish. Even for non-fishing guests, it's a delightful day spent admiring the picturesque shoreline.
wHAT is A panga?
Specifically designed for servicing villages with no dock facilities. Great for dropping you at that secluded beach and maneuvering quickly to that fishing spot. The name may come from the Panga fish or the resemblance of the bow to a machete or knife called a Panga.
All our Boca Captains operate 26-foot boats equipped with awnings and comfortable seating. Powered by 75-100 hp motors, these vessels ensure swift transportation to prime fishing locations. Located only a few steps from the Villa and you will be fishing quickly.
