Acapulco is a favorite of fishing enthusiasts, and we’re not talking about the type of fishing that involves sitting around for hours doing nothing in the middle of a lake. Fishing in Acapulco means the excitement of being on a boat out in the choppy, open sea and the rush of adrenaline you experience when a large sailfish pulls at your line. Your taste for excitement will also be fully satisfied when fishing for red snapper, sea bass, pompano or bonito. There are great facilities for renting the exact type of boat you require at either Puerto Marqués or in the Bay of Acapulco.
