Fishing in this area is popular for Yellowfin Tuna, Roosterfish, Red Snapper, Pompano, Amberjack, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, and more.

Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself targeting inshore favorites or heading offshore for something more specialized. Captain Diego and his crew also offer fly fishing and, for the more adventurous anglers, spearfishing.

Your fishing machine for the day is a 25' inshore and offshore sport fishing panga with a capacity of 4–6 passengers. It comes equipped with everything you need for a productive day on the water.

You’ll find rods, reels, tackle, and all necessary fishing gear waiting for you. Your fishing license is also included, so you can enjoy your trip worry-free. Live bait is key to a successful trip.

We recommend bringing sunglasses and sunscreen (non-spray). Water and beer will be provided on the boat. Alcohol is allowed, but please avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

For inshore trips, the boat departs from Sayulita at 8:30 AM and returns around 1:30–2:00 PM.

For offshore trips, we leave at first light and return at sunset.

    Beginner fishing, pro-level experience

    5 Hr - Inshore Fly Fishing on December 30, 2025

    Honestly, we’ve done this fishing trip twice now and both times have been absolutely amazing ! We went with friends, had the best time and everyone caught fish. We even made fresh ceviche right there on the boat on our way back, which we then enjoyed on a little private beach with the most crystal-clear water. We got to swim, relax and enjoy our catch. I’m pretty small and the fish we caught were definitely NOT haha. Mine almost pulled me into the water. But Diego and his team were incredible. They made us feel safe the whole time, taught us so much and were so patient and encouraging. One of my favourite moments was when they actually held me so I could pull my own fish out of the water instead of just taking the rod and doing it for me. Such a fun and empowering experience. I honestly cannot recommend Sayulita Surf Center enough. We’ve also done surf trips and whale watching with them and every single experience has been fantastic. Great people, great energy and unforgettable memories. If you’re in Sayulita, don’t miss out !!

    Diego and team are the absolute best

    10 Hr - Yellowfin Tuna Spearfishing on January 4, 2026

    I've gone spearfishing with Diego and his team multiple times when in Mexico. We've caught yellowfun tuna, snapper, wahoo, jacks---it's always a great time. He is amazing for both beginner and experienced clients----also has great vibes, the best delicious fresh caught ceviche and a comfortable boat. 10/10 recommend. Thank you Diego!!

    Diego is THE MAN

    10 Hr - Yellowfin Tuna Sportfishing on November 20, 2024

    If you’re fishing in the Sayulita/PV area, your go to contact should be Diego at Sayulita Surf Center. Diego knows the water, the fish, the birds, the weather, and has elite knowledge to deliver an amazing fishing experience. For reference, when I first met Diego and went fishing with him I thought he was crazy. We were chasing a school of yellowfin tuna and there were several other boats with us. Diego decided to change our route and then we sat and waiting for in complete silence for about 10 minutes. He started yelling to cast and everyone was looking at each other with no clue what was going on. BOOM. We had a bait ball swarming with tuna feeding on it. We had 4 tuna in the boat 30 minutes later. Diego is THE GUY to go out and catch some fish with. Call him now and book your excursion so you can enjoy freshly made (caught) ceviche with him!

    We had such an amazing time on this fishing trip! The captain and crew were super friendly, professional, and made sure everyone had a great experience. Everything was well organized, the atmosphere was fun, and the views were absolutely beautiful. You can tell they really care about their guests and making the trip memorable. Definitely an experience worth having if you’re visiting Puerto Vallarta. Highly recommend!

    November fishing trip

    5 Hr – Inshore Boat Combo on July 1, 2026

    Hicimos el combo de 5 horas en lancha cerca de la costa en Sayulita y fue una experiencia increíble. El capitán Diego fue súper amable, sabía mucho y se aseguró de que la pasáramos muy bien. La lancha estaba limpia y cómoda. Realmente disfrutamos el viaje y definitivamente lo volveríamos a hacer. ¡Muy recomendado!
