Ascension Bay,Yucatan

Best fishing and lodging since 1996

• Pesca Maya Lodge opened its doors in 1996, in the state of Quintana Roo, México, with the purpose of offering touristic services sustainable by nature, such as Ecotours, Snorkel Excursions, Diving, Sport fishing, Wildlife Observation and Environmental Education. Since then we have earned the friendship of many of our clients, coming back to Pesca Maya year after year. This is our biggest reward and satisfaction. Our goal is to show in detail a little piece of this world, of breathtaking nature, and bring it close to our guests, with the love and conviction we stand for "To know is to love, to love is to preserve".

• Our mission is to take you out for different adventures in contact with nature, in a way that will be safe, educational and fun. Within the last twelve years we have been working in the biosfere of Sian Ka'an and other areas, which has given us the expertise to locate and know about wild living animals.

• Today, our promise is to offer each of our services adhering to truth and responsibility. Safety, punctuality and joy in the operation. We will always give our best to make sure you will have an enjoyable experience to remember.

• We hope to welcome you on board, soon.

Yours sincerely,

Rogelio VelascoGeneral Manager

In Ascencion Bay there are hundreds of square miles of crystal clear flats where it’s common to see bonefish, permit, tarpon, snook and jacks or barracuda in the same day, all year round! With seasons for migrant tarpon and snook. That’s why probably more Grand Slams have been caught here than anywhere else. Pesca Maya is operating all year round. Peak season goes from March to June, more and more anglers are taking advantage of our medium andlow season discounts (10-20%).You choose what’s your best time.See www.pescamaya.com for more info.

Variety is the word to describe Ascension Bay and Bocapaila flats …

Our boats

Our boats are local made, fiber glass “pangas”, with a Yamaha 40 HP outboard motor. Boats are well suited for fly-fishing, With a spacious and clean platform. They are comfortable to cross Ascension Bay, even in the rough days and with only 6 inches in the water we can get into any flat. They do such a good job that we have even exported 4 of them to the United States.

Pesca Maya started the guiding school 8 years ago. David Aimes from Montana and Vincent Grillo from Florida put together a Fly Fishing Guide Seminar, guides and apprentices participated. They recruited some of the old "Pez Maya Lodge" guides and the best Punta Allen guides from the village. All are professional native guides, with years of experience, who know Ascension Bay and Bocapaila Lagoons as the back of their hand and will put you on the fish. Some speak fairly good English and others speak international "fishing English", good enough to spot the fish and direct your casting. At Pesca Maya we use a head guide and a young apprentice. Both have very good eyes. This formula helps very much when wading, each angler has a guide, when learning to cast or to see the fish, one guide poles and the other is with the angler at the casting platform, when positioning the boat and whenyou don't want to wade all the wayback to pick up the boat.Many of our customers appreciateit very much. I hope you will too.This program does not apply tosummer time or with specialdiscount rates.
