It’s easy with           Awesome Coast Cruise and Whale Watching to the Bay of Dreams and this was just two days ago! Please email combertheresa@hotmail.com , call 14-10231 or visit our headquarters at the East Cape RV Resort behind Otra Vez Restaurant.

The Ultimate Christmas Gift – A Year of Fishing! It’s an ‘Awesome’ offer, and one any husband or son would love. Our Awesome Sportfishing motto of the year is ‘The Sea of Cortez…Get on it!’, and with this ultimate Christmas gift, we can put you on the Sea of Cortez and put you on fish. If your fishermen are ready to deepen their experience and build relationships with highly capable and qualified Captains while enjoying fishing without the hassles, concerns and worry of launching, pulling, fueling, cleaning, we’re ready to help you ‘Get on it’! The Ultimate Christmas Gift includes ten days of discounted fishing, plus an 11th day free. Consider the ‘Awesome Full Charter Service’ including a Captain and Deckhand for $4500 for a year of fishing and realize an $890 savings; or, choose our new ‘Awesome Captain Only Charter’ which allows qualified, experienced fishermen to manage the deck and be in charge of the experience for only $4000 for a year of fishing. Compared to buying, owning and operating a personal boat, this is truly an ultimate gift. Details do apply, but the fishing fun is on the hook.
