 Located in the sleepy town of Punta Herrero on the doorstep of Espiritu Santo Bay you will find Mexico’s newest and most exclusive fly fishing program, the Tail Inn. Espiritu Santo Bay in the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve is a true nirvana for saltwater flats fly anglers. From the most focused Permit fly fishing specialist to the beginning fly angler eager to experience the most complete fishery in the Yucatan, it is an ideal destination. Our all inclusive Inn is well appointed offering you the comforts of home for your fly fishing vacation to Mexico, much more than you would expect in a remote fly fishing lodge. The level of service, inventive cuisine and world class fishing program checks all the boxes for the traveling angler.  

We are honored to be at the epicenter of a dynamic and exclusive fishery, widely regarded as the permit capital of the world. With exceptionally healthy populations of the black-tailed devil, from large schools of floaters and tailing fish to grande singles, doubles, and occasional permit accompanying stingrays, Espiritu Santo Bay offers unparalleled opportunities. Beyond permit, we also boast world-class fishing for bonefish, tarpon, snook, jack crevalle, barracuda, triggerfish, and more. With the sheer abundance of fish and the grandeur of this fishery, ESB stands as the premier destination for anglers seeking to achieve a the infamous Grand Slam or even more rare, the elusive Super Slam. Nestled in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, we are proud to be the new premiere operation in this remarkable region.

Location can mean everything and in our case it certainly does.The Inn sits atop beautiful white sand, overlooking the open ocean and the Mesoamerican Reef which is the largest in the Northern Hemisphere. The pangas for the day's fishing gently sway in the water... not 100 feet from your room. You are literally minutes from fishing pristine waters, and a world away from everything else. The lodge is well appointed with 5 double or single occupancy rooms that can accommodate up to 10 anglers. Despite being a remote Inn, we have an impressive array of amenities including A/C, private bathrooms, indoor and outdoor bars, high speed internet and purified water.

We take the cuisine, on and off the water, at the Tail Inn extremely seriously and are proud to offer fresh and locally sourced ingredients. Expect the meals to be unique and the quality to be that of a 5 star Mayan restaurant. There is a heartwarming amount of love and creativity poured into every meal using family recipes dating back to our families inception into Punta Herrero over 40 years ago.

Each meal is carefully curated to mix holistic Mayan and Mexican cuisine complete with an upscale touch and flare. Each day starts with a balanced breakfast, fresh squeezed juices and strong Mexican coffee accompanying the spread. On-the-water lunches range from three-layer focaccia bread sandwiches to touches of local Mexican cuisine when the opportunity arises.

Upon returning from a successful outing, guests are greeted with Happy Hour margaritas, other traditional cocktails and after fishing snacks that range from sushi to tacos.

Dinner is the crowning moment of the day’s fare, with an inventive menu of freshly prepared local fish, grilled octopus and chimichurri aranchera being a part of the menu. The evening flourishes with after dinner cocktails and the best desserts south of the border!

Tail Inn is unlike any fishing lodge you’ve experienced. It’s not just a Lodge, it’s the home of Saul Loya, a lifelong lobster fishermen of Punta Herrero and his family.

In recent years, Saul has devoted his life to sustainable fishing practices and economic revitalization of his village.

Each morning you will be greeted by Saul and his family with the warmest welcome in the Yucatan. Expect to come as a guest and leave as part of the family.
