Why Fish Ecuador?
The coast of Ecuador has been nicknamed “Marlin Boulevard” and has been for decades one of the most productive areas to fish for striped, blue and black marlin. The port town of Manta is a relatively easy destination to get to. It offers some very good places to enjoy seafood, nightlife and beaches.
Captain Andres Calero runs the Miura 36ft Luhrs and is raising the bar on finding fish. He recently won the latest Manta billfish local tournament and has incredible fish raising stats. If you want a true year round destination to target blue and striped marlin then Manta should be a place to consider. The coast of Ecuador has amazing beaches, National Parks, terrific food and plenty to see and do.
