Daliken Sportfishing – Gaviota 26'
Join Daliken Sportfishing and experience some of the most prolific fishing grounds off the Pacific coast of Mexico with Captain Jaime Gutierrez. Having grown up fishing the waters of Baja California, Capt. Jaime has become an expert in a range of techniques, from deep sea fishing to nearshore drifting and more. No matter your level of experience, your trip will be catered to best fit your needs and your guide will work hard to make sure you don’t leave empty-handed.
Your boat for the day is a 26’ Arca center console, called the Gaviota. This fishing machine is powered by a 225 HP Honda engine and comes with state-of-the-art GPS and fishfinder to put you on top of your target faster than you can say “fish on!” She also comes with a fighting chair, tuna tubes, a live bait tank, safety gear, and a toilet. The minimum age is 2 so you can invite the whole family and enjoy some quality bonding time with the kids.
Capt. Jaime specializes in both offshore and inshore fishing and will take you anywhere up to 10 miles from the coast. You’ll target pelagics such as Mahi Mahi, Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and many more. You can also bottom fish over reefs and wrecks to target Broomtail Grouper, Cubera Snapper, and Yellowtail or stay closer to shore to reel in a Roosterfish.
Top-quality tackle made my Penn and Shimano is included in the price and you’ll also have snorkeling equipment available on board in case you want to take a dip. After the trip, Capt. Jaime will offer to clean and fillet your catch so you can go home and make some fish tacos for the family.
Your fishing license can be purchased on the boat for an additional USD $20 per person, so all you have to bring is sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Water will be provided, but feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks.
Invite the family and get ready for the thrill of a lifetime! Book your trip today and let Daniken Sportfishing show you the time of your life!

6 Hour Trip
Fishing with my 9 year old son
We wanted tuna. We went on a 6 hour tour and caught a 3 fish (2 tuna). We were in a 26 ft boat. I was worried this boat might be too small but for the fishing grounds where the tuna were located it was perfect. It took about 50-70 min to get there, we slow trolled (almost drifted). Only missed one, which was probably a wahoo. Communication before and during was fantastic. We got private transportation 2 way on the way there arranged by them which was very reasonable. If someone wanted to spend some time at the marina afterwords maybe one way would work. FYI- 2 way was perfect for me and I didn’t really want my first Uber trip in Mexico to be before sunrise off of my hotel property. I was worried a 26 ft boat might not be stable enough, but it worked it pretty well. Maybe if the weather wasn’t cooperating but for our fishing grounds and my weather it worked out well. I got a cup of coffee before we left at marina. We were asked if we Al wanted to buy , pop chips, beer before we arrived but we brought our own food & water. We got our fish fillet right after we docked, we saved some which will be prepared by our hotel, but also had some prepared at the dock for lunch (sashimi & ceviche). Nice way to conclude our trip.

Go here for the great service and value
Felipe and Carlos Francisco are great. They know what they’re doing and created a great experience for us. Caught a bunch of rooster fish and some needle fish. No tuna or marlin today but we had great action nonetheless. Our 26ft boat was well kept and handled the wind and waves easily. Carlos especially was great ensuring we had solid hooksets before handing over the pole to fight them fishes.

Epic Marlin Day!
We booked with Jamie and had Jeulius as the captain. After losing one first thing in the morning we hammered 2 beautiful striped marlin one around 175lbs and the other well over 200lbs. Absolute amazing crew and people, these guys are top notch 100% recommend booking with Daliken. We can’t wait to go again.

Mucho fish
Our captain wasn’t talkative - he mostly said “mucho fish” - and he wasn’t lying. We caught our limit of tuna and one dorado in about 30 minutes. Spent the rest of the trip leisurely trolling g for more dorado without finding any. Weather was perfect - we had a great time. This is not a luxury trip, but you will catch fish. Recommend!
