MANZANILLO, MEXICO
We were the first ones off our Ship when it docked in Manzanillo, on 5/12/25 because I had booked our group a private charter fishing and snorkel trip. Our agent was waiting for us in Port and he quickly transported us over to the Captain and Firstmate Fernando waiting for us. We were under power quickly and the fishing lines were all cast. Within minutes we were all pulling in fish. We were not even using bait, just flys and the catches were continuous, the first hour as we traveled out to our snorkel spot!
Next we snorkeled for over an hour in this great protected cove. There was tons of fish, so many different species.
On the way back to the Port we were all chilling in the sunshine, singing along to music, when a whole group of dolphins popped up alongside us and were racing to stay up with the boat. They were so close and the small ones were giving us a show!
We posed for a group shot before leaving the boat but didn't realize how in the shadows we were. We went to a restaurant down the pier from the dock and they were short staffed, so I jumped in to help the waitress, but our Chinese / Mexican dishes still took along time. Regardless, we all had a great day and enjoyed the Margaritas, Pina coladas and conversation.
