About Zihuatanejo
The charming town of Zihuatanejo is located in a protected bay along the exquisite Mexican Pacific Coast. What was once a quiet fishing village has bloomed and grown since the 1970s into an internationally recognized resort town. Zihuatanejo has a four-month rainy season (June through October), and it is hottest in the summer, so be sure to book your boating vacation during the drier and more temperate winter and spring months.

Charter 42' Italian Pride Whale Watchers (certified) Cruiser with English Speaking Crew - Holding 14 in Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa
We were only four people but the boat could easily handle 12. The crew was excellent. They asked us at the outset how we wanted to spend our time. We were only out for 4 hours but could easily stayed longer. We fished, snorkeled and had a great time. Able, the owner, was easy to reach. We would definitely charter the Gran Jefe II again.

The boat is a great size and the crew was outstanding. Abel was great with communication leading up to our charter and response time was very quick. They go out of their way to make your day special even post charter by making sure we got a cup back. I can't recommend Abel, Ivan, Enrique, and the El Jefe III enough. The fishing was awesome and we caught 3 black tuna and one mahi mahi. We had a restaurant cook the fish for us which was great. Seeing the beauty of the coast line from the water was amazing. Book now! You won't regret it!!!

Shortly after I contacted Get My Boat, Abel responded. He was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. On the day of our boat trip, we didn't really have a plan, so Abel and our captain suggested a little fishing and whale watching on our way to Ixtapa Island for lunch. It was perfect. Our group caught a Mahi Mahi almost immediately followed by two Spanish Mackarel. We got to see a few whales (the captain was great at spotting them) and then had a delicious meal (including the fish we caught that the restaurant prepared for us) on Ixtapa Island. I highly recommend Abel and the Grand Jeffe ll. It was a great day!

What an amazing experience! Abel was very responsive and had us booked within an hour of my inquiry. Capitan Alex and Luis waited on us hand and foot and gave us an amazing time on board cruising around and swimming. First class all around! We picked up cheese and charcuterie from the liquor store at the marina and that worked out very well. Can’t wait to go again next time we are in Ixtapa!!

We had 8 people and it was a blast! We took the boat into Zihuatanejo and set it up in the bay so that we could jump off and enjoy the water. The crew was great, accommodating, and it was the best time. Can't wait to do it again.
