Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes, we provide daily laundry service for you at the lodge.  Just place your laundry in the white bag that is provided for you and place it on the end of your bed.  Your laundry will be returned in the late afternoon on the same day.  A small gratuity for the housekeeper would be greatly appreciated, please place it in or on the bag.

Bring your own ice chest and leave it in your car so fish can be taken home fresh/frozen from your trip. On the return flight from Cedros, your fish will be packed in softsided cooler bags.  Once you are back at the CBX, you will be able to transfer your fish to your coolers.  Rosie will collect the cooler bags and get them back to the island for the next group to use.

Yes, our hosts speak English, and they will be available for the duration of your fishing trip.

There are small markets on the island where you can purchase snacks, beer, and alcohol. If needed, our host will guide and accompany your group to the market. However, we do not encourage our guests to wander off the lodge property. Instead, our host will assist you in getting what you need.

Breakfast, lunch and drinks may be taken on the pangas.  A picnic lunch, including sandwiches or burritos, along with snacks and beverages will be packed up in a cooler on your panga.  Your lunch and drink order will be taken each evening for the next day.

Please let us know at least a month before your trip so we can accommodate your dietary needs. Do not surprise us on the day of your arrival at the lodge! Keep in mind that we are on an island, and while we will do our best to source supplies, availability can be limited. If you have specific dietary needs, including allergies, please inform us at least a month in advance and also notify the host upon arrival. If you have special food items you’d like to bring due to dietary restrictions, please let us know beforehand. Since we are on an island, some ingredients may not be readily available without prior planning.

The tortillas that are made on the island are amazing! 

Yes, our lodge has a tackle store stocked with various tackle supplies. Just let your host know, and they will be happy to assist you.

In the past, there was an overweight charge and a rod charge for every rod over one. Now that we have our own chartered aircraft, there are no longer any charges for these items.  One still needs to be mindful though of the weight they bring.  We strongly encourage an overall weight of 30-35 pounds per angler.  Remember we have a laundry service, so bring the minimal in clothing. 

Small tackle boxes are encouraged.  Softsided tackle bags, backpack tackle bags, duffle bags are all great for transporting you tackle.  Larger longrange tackle boxes are not needed and only take up weight on the aircraft.

The panga captains are not employed by Cedros Sportfishing. They work hard to get you on the fish and help in assisting you in your catch. Please tip your panga captain daily.

Yes, you have the opportunity to fish at San Benitos Island. However, please note there is a surcharge of $150.00 per panga, payable to our host at the lodge. Since San Benitos Island is quite a distance away (approximately 1.5 hours), the panga captain must depart from San Benitos by 2:00 PM at the latest. The trip is weather-dependent, and the panga captain has the final decision on whether to go and when to return.
