Fishing charters in Salinas, Ecuador
Salinas sits on the tip of Ecuador's Santa Elena Peninsula, where the cold Humboldt Current collides with warm equatorial water and deep ocean lies within a short run of the marina. That convergence makes this one of the most consistent billfish grounds on the Pacific coast of South America, with striped marlin the signature bite and blue and black marlin, sailfish and big yellowfin tuna in the spread.

When should I book a charter in Salinas?
The prime season is Year-round (striped marlin peak roughly September–January; warm-water blues and yellowfin December–April). Good boats fill up well ahead of peak months, so book early and keep an eye on the forecast.
