Blue Quill Destination Travel · Mexico
Fish Xcalak’s Caribbean Flats
March 6–12, 2027 · Join Austin Daniels for five full days chasing bonefish, permit, tarpon and more from Casa Cangrejo Lodge.
The Adventure
A quiet village. Miles of water to explore.
At the southern tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Xcalak trades resort crowds for a small fishing village, clear Caribbean water and mangrove-lined flats. Join Austin Daniels and The Blue Quill Angler for a focused week on the water, with local guides who know the surrounding fisheries.
From the flats of Chetumal Bay to the Caribbean coastline, each day brings a fresh chance to spot fish, make the cast and watch the take.
The Fishing
A different challenge with every cast.
Five guided days give you time to explore flats, mangroves and deeper channels. The Grand Slam—bonefish, permit and tarpon in one day—is a celebrated possibility, never a promise.
Bonefish
Spot fish moving across the shallow flats and make accurate casts to cruising schools.
Permit
Take on one of saltwater fly fishing’s most absorbing sight-casting challenges.
Tarpon & More
Search mangrove edges and channels for tarpon, with possible shots at snook, barracuda and triggerfish.
Casa Cangrejo Lodge
Beachfront downtime after a day on the flats.
Your base in Xcalak is Casa Cangrejo Lodge. Private beachfront cabanas include private bathrooms and air conditioning, with daily housekeeping throughout your stay.
Breakfast gets the day started; afternoon appetizers welcome you back from fishing; and freshly prepared dinners bring the group together each evening. Daily happy hour includes beer, rum and tequila.
