First time saltwater excursion
Full Day Trip River or Inshore on April 25, 20251 adult

I flyfished for tarpon for the very first time. My captain and guide was Elvin Gutiérrez aka Primo. He has 40 years of guiding experience and I learned a lot with him. I had a great day out on the ocean with Primo. He constantly watched for rolling fish and chose the fishing spots accordingly. I had a bite but unfortunately I could not set the hook since the line slipped through my fingers. I had a very nice first saltwater experience. Flyfishing for tarpon with Primo is higly recommendable. Muchas gracias!

That's the captain you want
Full Day Trip River or Inshore on April 18, 20251 adult

Tarpon fishing is hard. Conditions were far from ideal, with rain, wind and stormy ocean. Capt. Primo did literally everything he could: we could literally see the tarpons rolling in the waves, but they were not biting. Nevertheless he ultimately allowed me to land a fish after a fun and strong fight. Not a tarpon but a fish is always a fish, and that was fun! Totally recommend! Would do it again myself!

Captain Primo best in Torteguero
Full Day Trip River or Inshore on January 1, 20242 adults

My wife and I took the full day fishing charter with Capt. Primo. He was very knowledgeable and patient with us as he would stop and get us enjoy the wildlife we saw in the way. Which included Dolphins, Crocodiles, Monkeys, Caymens, and many bird species. The fishing although slie was enjoyable. He made us feel like we were just friends fishing together. Would highly recommend Captain Primo and his charter at fishingbooker.com
