​
WHAT CAN I DO IF I PLAN TO ARRIVE EARLY?
There is many restaurants near the landing to eat at. You can check in with the landing. If crew in on deck you can store your gear in the port corner of the boat. Please do not board the Constitution without talking to the crew first. No early boarding and getting bunks its a first come first serve process when the crew is ready to board everyone.
​
DO I NEED TO BRING BEDDING?

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK?
If you're from out of the area I would suggest a 2.5-3.5 day trip. Gets the most opportunity for your trip. Trips depart at 7pm and fish sun up to sun down for 2-3 days and you return in the Morning to get your fish processed or beat the traffic home. The 2 day trips seem to be the best
​
WHAT SHOULD I PACK?
Pack warm clothes and a pair of short or tall rubber boots.
Your personal medicines and any comfort snacks you wish. If you have any dietary needs please let use know before the trip departures and if its minor please let the chef know and he will be happy to adjust the meal plan for you.

​
WHAT AIRLINE CAN I FLY TO LORETO?
We based our schedule on Alaska Airlines departing from LAX.
We have anglers that fly out of Tijuana and fly with Volaris and have great success. We use them frequently and have found they have great rates. You may have to fly in a day before and get a hotel or may get lucky and land similar to the rest of the group
​
WHERE DO WE GO WHEN WE LAND IN LORETO?
Since anglers may be Landing at different times. We decided not to include the transfer to the hotel in the ticket price. Take a cab or shuttle to La Mision Hotel.
Its a short drive. Check into the hotel, give your name and say your with the Constitution and your reservation will be there and paid for.
they may ask for a credit card for extras at the hotel like bar, or evening food. The hotel has a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. We suggest getting up early enough and have breakfast and be 15 minutes early
​

nightly. If your trip departs later in the pm we will be on the same schedule minus the first days fishing. We will instead have dinner in the bay and depending on our stock may make bait right after dinner and depart for the grounds immediately after.
