    Amazing Trip!

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on December 26, 2025 • 4 adults

    I highly recommend Captain Pollo & his crew. We had a crew of 4 & the Captain worked hard to spot the fish. We had a blast fishing live bait, jigs, and trolling. We caught over 10 fish & 6 different species. great team, great boat, great communication, & a great time! We will definitely be back!

    ONE OF MY TOP THREE FISHING TRIPS!

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on October 26, 2024 • 2 adults

    This was a trip of a lifetime! We are two middle aged women with some deep sea fishing experience and Captain Pollo was knowledgeable, kind and patient. We caught our limit in yellow fin tuna, we saw a shark that ate half of the tuna I was reeling in, and we saw a whale family! All in six short hours. Captain Pollo was an awesome guide. He knew right were to go to get us on fish. He spotted the whale family miles away. I don't think he ever sat down. Our fish were cleaned and filleted so we could take them to our resort to be frozen and then flown with us back to Nevada. We will definitely use Captain Pollo again. Don't expect luxury, but expect a great day fishing, super friendly people, and an experience of a lifetime!

    Excellent Experience!!

    7 Hour Trip on June 17, 2024 • 1 adult

    Captain Jesus was amazing from the time I reached out to him to the end of the charter. To start, my uber driver dropped me off at the wrong marina. My uber app stopped working and he drove over and picked me up. He told me up front what was biting and what fish we were going to look for. I told him I wanted rooster fish and wasn't concerned about any bill fish as I have caught them all. The trip started out a bit slow as the water wasn't too warm. He worked very hard trying different techniques. He continuously was reaching out to other boats who were also experiencing a slow day. One boat was able to hook up a rooster fish. We headed that way and I caught two nice sized roosters within about 25 minutes and I was able to check those off my bucket list of fish. We caught a few more fish before heading back in. He was very nice, knowledgeable, and made the trip fun. I will definitely be going back out with him.

    Roosterfish and close to shore fishing

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on March 4, 2024 • 2 adults

    First, my charter request for this trip was not the typical request. I am not staying somewhere that I could cook my fish and won't be home quick enough to have it shipped. So, I asked for a catch and release trip and Jesus was happy to give me such a trip. I read a decent amount of reviews in here about Jesus and his lack of speaking english. This is simply not true, Jesus english was perfectly fine and I had no issues communicating with him. Jesus knew I wanted roosterfish and other shore fish and took me to the goods. We also picked up live bait outside of the marina, so have $30USD or $500 pesos ready to go. Unlike some charters, Jesus handed me the rod and let me feel the bites and set the hooks - it felt like real fishing and not someone just handing me a rod with a fish on it. We were quickly on the fish and landing roosterfish and spanish mackerels pretty consistently all morning. We only paused because a few Humpback Whales and dolphin showed up and he was nice enough to get us some amazing views of such an enormous creature. I know I wasn't going after the sportfish, but Jesus still provided me with a fantastic day of fishing. His boat was clean and comfortable and everything was in working order. I truly have nothing but positive things to say about my day with Jesus.

    Amazing Day

    7 Hour Trip on April 22, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an awesome time and I would HIGHLY recommend Jesus (Captain Pollo). He was great at communication and went the extra mile to make sure we were all set to go and ready for a good day. Our Captain, Alejandro, took us exactly where the fish were. It was a very engaging day..not just endless hours of trolling. We got 4 mackerel, a wahoo, 4 sea bass and a snapper. So amazing. We spotted dolphins, rays and turtles too. I highly recommend these guys.

    Tuna and Mahi !!!

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on November 3, 2023 • 2 adults

    Today we did the 5 hour fishing trip leaving at 6:30am. We arrived around 6am to make sure we could get the licenses and payment processed with no wasted time. We cruised back in around 1:45pm. It was excellent! We caught two ginormous yellow fin tuna, 3 gorgeous mahi mahi, as well as a grouper. Our captain was great and we even got to see some whales. Please be advised that this does not come with food or drinks. We KNEW this and brought water and snacks! Some other reviews complained about this but it’s clear in the listing. When we got back to the dock we tipped some guys at the marina to cut and clean the fish. We are extremely happy.

    Great crew and lots of fun!!

    7 Hour Trip on November 1, 2023 • 2 adults

    This is our second trip with Captain Pollo and it just gets better! We had the amazing first mate Coco Alejandro with us so this time we new we were up for an adventure. First I lost my glasses in the water. No problem! Capt Pollo called a diver and saved me from being blind for the rest of the trip. Onward to our adventure. These two are a great team! Kind, knowledgeable, patient all the ingredients needed for great fishing! We’ve been here 3 times and never caught a fish. This time we caught 5 two dorados, two triggerfish, and a delish snapper..the trip is worth every penny! We have a marina right by our resort and will drive the hour to meet with our Pollo! Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed

    Half day trip wity Cesar

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on March 14, 2023 • 2 adults

    We went on a five hour fishing trip with our captain Cesar from Captain Pollo fishing excursion today, and had an amazing time catching multiple species of fish and watching all the sea life. We saw whales, dolphins, stingrays, and manta rays on our trip. Our captain always made sure to stop and allow us some veiwing time. As Canadians our spanish was poor, that said, Cesar made sure we felt comfortable and most importantly, caught lots and lots of fish. They made sure we had drinks, and accomodated every need along the way. Upon returning to shore, they filleted the fish at no additional cost, and allowed us to take some back to our airbnb. This was all around a five star experience, and the next time we are in San Jose del Cabo we will be sure to return.

A good trip
7 Hour Trip on August 17, 2026 • 3 adults

Fish weren’t biting. Alejandro served as captain but we were met at the boat by Jesus also. We bought live bait from the small boat for 30 dollars. Fished near shore and only caught a couple of fish, not species we were hunting. Trolled for two to three hours for marlin. Nada. Still a lot of effort, and attempt to get onto dorado or rooster. No luck
