Mazatlán’s fishing boats rest along the shore like patient travelers. They have seen first light break over the horizon and felt the weight of storms in their wooden ribs.
These boats are more than vessels—they are storytellers, carrying the rhythm of the sea and the lives of those who depend on it. Walk the boardwalk at dawn, and you’ll hear them speak, not in words, but in the hush of waves, the scent of salt, and the quiet rituals of fishermen preparing for another day.
From our visit to Mazatlan, Mexico, in February 2022.
