Grandkids fishing in Los Barrilles!
Half Day Trip on April 11, 2025
The season had not started yet, Fishing was slow but our Caption new where to take us! We caught Pargo (Snapper), and Rosterfish. What a blast, someone always had a fish on. The crew fileted the catch, and the Buena Vista Resort restaurant, the chef and the staff treated us to a 5 star meal with the fish we caught that morning. What an experience for the grandkids!

Great time with Filipe
Half Day Trip on May 7, 2023
The bite wasn’t super hot, but we were still able to hook a striped marlin. Felipe was very accommodating to my father and I! He was in time, eager to catch fish, very positive, and willing to share his tips and trips. While reeling in the catch he was very calm, and gave great direction! Will definitely holler at him again when I am back in town!

Fishing with Captain Felipe
Half Day Trip on August 10, 2021
I had catching a rooster fish on my bucket list and Captain Felipe helped me check it off the list. We fished for two half days, and while mother nature wasn't very helpful giving us big seas, we we persevered and landed four nice roosters. Captain Felipe was very helpful and made the trip one to remember.

Your captain
Buenavista, Baja California Sur, Mexico
I grew up in a fishing lodge that my dad started in 1970, so fishing has been natural to me. We have dedicated ourselves to fishing for more than 40 years. I have had the privilege of living by the Sea of Cortez all my life. Besides just being our business, fishing has been my passion since I was a kid. I started fishing by hand from the beach, until I became a surf fishing guide – that you could say is my first expertise, but I've been doing fishing on boats since forever, until now that I have my own boat. I was fortunate enough to be trained by the best fisherman of the region, and have also been trained in customer service to focus on what fishermen need. My language skills help me communicate all the needs to my clients so they can have a successful and memorable day.
