OUR STORY

BEHIND
THE CREW

Passion for fishing. Local knowledge. Years spent on the water.

East Cape fishing family in La Playa, San José del Cabo
LA PLAYA · SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO
04 GENERATIONS
FOUR-GENERATION LEGACY

FOUR GENERATIONS.
ONE LIFE ON THE SEA.

We are the fourth generation of a native fishing family from La Playa, San José del Cabo.

For more than seven decades, our family has lived, worked, and learned from these waters. What began with our great-grandfather Leonardo Bañaga continued through José Ceseña and José Alberto Ceseña “Archy”, passing down a deep knowledge of the ocean from one generation to the next.

Today, we carry that legacy forward by combining local fishing experience with warm, professional hospitality for every guest who joins us.
