Note from the Owner
 

Happy Holidays to our Xflats friends and family. Thank you sincerely for signing up for our biannual newsletter. I am overwhelmed with gratitude as we enjoy our 4th fall/winter season with lots of fish and friends. We are gearing up for most successful spring season yet. We have some awesome changes and improvements for our return and new guests to enjoy. And were just getting started folks! I wish I could spoil all the future surprises now, but I will save some for our future newsletters. The fishing has been fantastic as always and our guides and staff could not be more excited for this upcoming spring season.

Sincerely from the happiest man on earth,

Jesse Colten
Owner/Operator

What Is Going On In The Fishing?

 

The changes, the patterns working, and the always changing behavior of the fish are detailed in Jesse’s Opinion, read the latest details of what is going on in the water surrounding Xcalak.

Fly To The Xflats

 

We are flying! Goodbye to the private charter flight calculator. We have come up with a clear-cut system and option to fly to Mahahual airport. Only 40 minutes from the lodge. Read more on the options and specifics to see if it works for you!

Guide Improvements

 

Our favorite guides in Xcalak are now exclusive to the Xflats and are so excited to be fishing as much as they are with clients they love. Along with being able to guarantee you favorite guide we are excited to announce that all our guides in Xcalak will be on boats with the following qualifications: poling platform, lean bar and qualified energetic assistant.

New Dock

 

We loved our rustic dock the way you might love an old rusty guitar that’s about to break, but it was time to improve! We have rebuilt our dock to a stronger, safer, and wider spot to hang out while at the Xflats. The fishing is so good off our dock we had to redo it to maximize that experience. We cant wait for our returners to see it!

Fitness Room

 

Starting January 1st, 2022 we will have ready the new Xflats fitness center. Its nothing majorly fancy guys but for those of you looking to stay fit on vacation its all you need! For those of you just working on 6 packs made of Mexican beer, don’t worry, the bar is as stocked as ever.

Orvis Endorsement

 

We are excited to announce that we have reached an endorsement partnership agreement with the Orvis Fly Fishing company. The Xflats is now the one and only Orvis endorsed lodge in all of Mexico. We flat out love their flyrods and now there will be one on every boat as well as being available for our guests to try out daily. This is a vote of confidence in the quality of the experience here at the Xflats, and we are truly honored by it.

Reservations

 

The Xflats has a new reservations manager (giant sigh of relief). Danny Colten is ready and available daily to discuss your travel options and any information you may need when deciding to book a trip.

 

Due to some cancellations there are a few spots for the spring of 2022 still available. Email reservations@thexflats.com or fill out our contact form for more information on this winter, spring, and beyond!
