Where Deep Knowledge Meets Open Water

Since 1984, Captain José Francisco “Joaquín” Wences has been successfully captaining vessels large and small. With a clear focus on prize-winning  production, he has honed his skills in his home base of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, while also competing in high-stakes competitions up and down the Mexican Pacific Coast. Alongside his equally capable and equally competitive Captain brothers, they have set out to create the moat-admirable, elite sportfishing fleet in the region.

Our unprecedented success has provided us with enviable sport-fishing vessels and prize-winning catches from our home turf to Cabo to to Acapulco. In addition, the Wences brothers (and family) are successful restauranteurs and business owners, and are an integral part of the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo community. (Your support has a direct positive impact on the local economy, and for that we THANK YOU…our avid and discerning fellow Wences Team anglers!

So, whether you’re looking to catch a big fish, contract us for competing in a fishing tournament (let’s talk), want your boat transported/conveyed internationally, or are just looking to hang out at our Ixtapa island restaurant (our unofficial world headquarters)…whatever your needs, the Wences family has you covered!
