Fishing charters in Punta del Este, Uruguay
Uruguay's premier resort town sits exactly where the Río de la Plata estuary meets the open Atlantic, and that brackish mixing zone produces one of South America's great black drum fisheries — the 'corvina negra' here grow to enormous sizes. Charter boats work the rocky bottoms off Isla Gorriti and Isla de Lobos for drum, bluefish and flounder within sight of the marina.

Booking a Punta del Este charter: FAQ
How do I pick a fishing charter in Punta del Este?
Match the boat to the fishing you want: Boats anchor up-current of the rocks and soak crab and shellfish baits on heavy bottom rigs for big drum; bluefish are taken casting or trolling along the same structure. Look at what each operator targets, then check the live conditions in Baitful before locking a date.
When should I book a charter in Punta del Este?
The prime season is October–April (black drum peak December–March). Good boats fill up well ahead of peak months, so book early and keep an eye on the forecast.
