Located in an extremely remote section of the Yucatan Peninsula’s eastern coastline, in the heart of the protected Sian Ka’an Biosphere. The waters surrounding ESB provide critical habitat for endangered, threatened, and migratory species and hosts one of the most diverse marine wildlife environments found in all of Mexico. It is also home to 23 known archeologic sites of the Mayan Civilization. ESB is the perfect destination for any angler seeking a true unspoiled and unpressured wilderness fly fishing experience. Considered by many as the crown jewel of the Caribbean, fly fishing anglers can expect regular encounters with Tarpon, Snook, Bonefish, Barracuda, Trigger fish, and Jacks along with a plethora of other voracious saltwater game species each day. But the real draw to ESB is its world class Permit fishery. For its comparative size and limited fishing pressure, ESB arguably produces more fly caught Permit each year than any other destination in Central America. If you’re after your first grand slam or your first Permit on a fly, it’s hard to imagine a better place to succeed than in ESB.

Perla Negra Cantina is the the most remote bar in Mexico with legendary status. This is the center of our operations and where we start and finish our days. Wake up to a great cup of coffee while going over plans for your day of fishing. At the end of the day, the front porch of the Perla Negra Bar is the perfect spot to kick your legs up and unwind, while sipping on an icy cold Margarita. Unfortunately, we can’t go into too much detail of what happens at Perla Negra and you will have to visit it to get the full experience. What we can say is that the bartender is skilled at cutting limes, has a sweet spider tattoo, and an ice box full of the coldest beers in all the Yucatan. Stay thirsty friends!

One thing is for certain...you will not go hungry at Perla Negra! We wanted to keep our meals as authentic as possible by taking full advantage of the bountiful resources surrounding us. With freshly caught fish and lobster (in season) harvested each day, Chef Tururu and Diana's meals are a simple and delicious blend of traditional Mexican cuisine with a hint of Mayan flair, accompanied with fresh locally grown vegetables and fruit. After a long day of fishing, you can always look forward to a scrumptious array of seafood appetizers highlighted by out of this world ceviche and guacamole. Mornings usually consist of loaded up breakfast tacos and burritos made with so much love that they’re guaranteed to kill even the worst tequila hangover.
