Buenos Aires Delta Aventura
Buenos Aires Delta Aventura
Rio de la Plata, or the 'River Plate,' has earned the impressive title of being the widest river in the world, and forms part of the border between Argentina and Uruguay. It's also a hotbed of top angling action! For some, the idea of fishing such a vast body of water might be intimidating – not so for Captain Mauricio Oñate. He warmly invites you to join him aboard Buenos Aires Delta Aventura, where you'll get a first-class introduction to this fantastic fishery!
Capt. Mauricio is a true lifelong fisherman. He's been wielding a rod since he was 3 years old, and has over 35 years of experience when it comes to these waters. As well as providing trips targeting the river's hottest spots, he also loves teaching people all about the different species that call Rio de la Plata home, such as the picture-perfect Golden Dorado and tasty Pejerrey. This includes the best ways to catch them, of course!
You'll be traveling on board your captain's 22' Silver Boat center console, newly built in 2018 and ready to transport up to 5 guests out onto the river. She's rigged with top-of-the-line fishing amenities, including GPS and fishfinder, life jackets for ages 12 and up, and a full toilet located in the center console. You'll be navigating these waters in plenty of comfort and safety.
As well as the famous Golden Dorado, huge Catfish like to call these waters home. You'll have the chance to hook local varieties such as Bagre Amarillo (Yellow Catfish) and Bagre Blanco (White Catfish) – these fish can reach up to 20 kilos here! In addition, Tararira (Wolf Fish) and tasty Pejerrey (Silverside) are also on offer. Capt. Mauricio will show you the best techniques to use, from bottom fishing to spinning when the waters are clear.
As well as providing top-notch rods and reels, bait, and tackle, your captain will pick you up at your hotel and escort you to the dock in San Fernando. Come aboard Buenos Aires Delta Aventura for an incredible adventure in a location like no other!

Easily the best trip for the time, effort, accommodations and results!! We all know that the art and skill involved in fishing is unique and not to be taken lightly. Captain Mauricio is not only a gentleman but a great guide who has a sincere passion for fishing and for customer service. I can't recommend him enough!! We had a blast! And we caught fish!! Golden Dorado and crazy looking catfish! It's called 'fishing' not 'catching' for a reason but Cpt. Mauricio got us out there and my son and I made memories for a lifetime! Bucket List for sure!
Due to the water conditions, for this trip we decided to chase Tararira - the wolf fish - a fish that I never caught before. We navigated through the channels of the delta, and we stopped in the first spot we fished in the previous trip. No fish bit in that spot, so soon Captain Mauricio made the decision to move further upstream. We arrived in an area where some bays with shallow water and lots of vegetation opened up on the edge of the main river. We fished there with top-water lures, with which we caught Tararira - over 10 fish. We also cast two live-bait lines in the main river, where we caught dorado. Among other things, we saw a carp lying in the sun, a rather big fish but which was not the objective of our expedition. Fishing for tararira is spectacular, and requires a certain degree of skill. But don't worry - Captain Mauricio will teach you what to do. After that, we moved again in "the middle of the river", to chase big fish. We used live bait and had many attacks, but only brought one large dorado to the boat. Indeed, the weather conditions were quite difficult, with wind and waves, and the fish's bites were not as determined and aggressive as the previous day. Overall, the second trip was a successful trip, too. Captain Mauricio is a kind person and a pleasant company, and once again, a very good guide. I highly recommend Captain Mauricio for both beginners and experienced anglers, and as I saw, he is the best guide in the area. Unlike other charters, he is not looking just for take your money, he cares for your demands and needs, and do his best to ofer you a great experience. I left Argentina with good memories thanks to Mauricio, and if I will ever come back in Buenos Aires, for sure I will contact him.
Hi Sergiu, great to hear from you! Thank you so much for your reviews. It was a pleasure having you on board and sharing your dedication and passion for fishing. It's very motivating to put an angler on the spot, putting his all into landing them. I'm also very happy that you were able to have such good fights with big dorados and, above all, that you were able to catch one of them using spinning, right in the middle of the river. In the middle of the widest river in the world, and where this type of fishing technique isn't usually used. Congratulations!!! And until our next fishing trip together. Captain Mauricio
First of all, I would like to say that Captain Mauricio is an experienced fisherman and he knows the waters very well. From the beginning, I discussed with him in order to prepare our trips, and he promptly replied to me. I use to bring my own fishing gear for this kind of trips, and Captain Mauricio provided me all the details regarding what is needed. I told him that I do not want "a trip just to have fun" - I am an experienced fisherman and I have certain targets. Captain Mauricio was very careful of my demands. Unlike other charters that organize trips for tourists, and only care about catching a fish or two for fun, Captain Mauricio is the perfect guide for both beginners and advanced anglers, and can lead you on specialized fishing trips depending on the target species. Moreover, like a true fisherman, Captain Mauricio is very careful in respecting nature and the fish. Due to the weather conditions, I agreed with Mauricio to change the initial scheduled dates, but I want to highlight that he was very careful to the forecast, wind, currents, water level, etc. Moreover, this charters offers transfer to the meeting place (the port where the boat is). Mauricio's associate, Javier, is a kind person and a good driver - he took care for the transfer from the hotel and back. I also want to mention that both, Mauricio and Javier speaks in English - which as I sadly found, is not so common among argentinian people, even for those which works with tourits. So, an additional plus for that! Regarding the trip, I booked two trips. My main target was the golden dorado, followed by other species, so on the first day we chased the dorados. The first spot we stopped was a confluence of a chanel with a river branch. I caught my very first dorado at my third cast. Basically, in the first 15 minutes of fishing I already caught 3 dorados. We used both live bait, and lures. I caught about 10 dorados in that place, and one piranha (Palometa). Captain Mauricio also caught some small yellow catfish, which served as bait. After that, we moved in "the middle of the river" (a place that in my opinion is a beginning of an estuary, but the locals still call it river), to chase big fish. In there we caught 5 big dorados, one of them with lure. Acoording to Captain Mauricio, this was the very first time when he saw someone catching a dorado with vobler in that area - "the middle of the river". Overall, the first day was a successful trip. Captain Mauricio is a kind person and a pleasant company, and once again, a very good guide. I highly recommend Captain Mauricio for both beginners and experienced anglers, and as I saw, he is the best guide in the area. Unlike other charters, he is not looking just for take your money, he cares for your demands and needs, and do his best to ofer you a great experience.

Capt Mauricio is extremely knowledgeable and expirienced. he got us on the Golden Dorado right away. we caught so many dorado that we lost count. he brought us drinks and his wife made homemade breakfast for us. for lunch we had a great selection of meats and cheeses and an assortment of rolls. we had an amazing time fishing with Mauricio, and I strongly recommend his guide services if you want to get on the fish. it doesnt not get any better than this. 10/10, the best. genuinely one of the best fishing trips in my whole life. amazing.
Buddy, thank you so much for your review! I really enjoyed guiding you and your wife on the Río de la Plata. Sharing a day on board with those who experience nature with such love and passion is always a bonus in my work. Thank you so much for choosing me to enjoy your fishing trip in Buenos Aires! See you on our next fishing trip together! Captain Mauricio
The captain took us out on Easter morning. It started out a little cool and windy, so we went up the river to nice waters and caught Dorado and Piranha, then as the day warmed up and the waters calmed we went out into the more open water and caught huge catfish, and large Golden Dorado. A safe, fun, entertaining fishing trip I would highly recommend.

Your captain
Tigre, Argentina
I've been fishing since I was 3 years old, and sailing since I was 18 – now I'm over 50 years of age, and I have fished and sailed in waters all over the world! I practice almost all types of fishing. I manage and direct my own fishing, nautical and tourism services, and graduated in Social Communication and Counseling. During part of my working life I worked in corporate companies, managing the commercialization of services with global clients, which has led to me becoming fluent in 3 languages. When I go on vacation, I choose destinations where I can combine my free time and plenty of rest and relaxation with...fishing!
