Palometa Club

Northern Ascension Bay’s Premier Fishing Lodge

This year-round fishery is the Yucatan’s hot spot to find the grand slam species and features the only two-guide-per-boat operation in the area. Having two experienced guides in your boat means that you have two times the vision to spot the fish and the knowledge to catch them. With a laid back “at home” feel to the lodge, it’s easy to relax after a day of chasing fish in the bay.

Fishing

Ascension Bay is considered by many as the permit fishing capital of the world and the guides at the Palometa Club love to put you in front of this prized quarry. With two experienced guides in your boat you have the best chance of success targeting permit or any of the grand slam species.
