Sayulita 1
Capt. Gonzalo is a 4th generation Sayulita fisherman and knows these waters better than anyone. He will do his best to make sure you have a fun, safe, and memorable day full of fishing. He specializes in trolling, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning, all to get you on that bite., mainly fishing for Mahi Mahi, Roosterfish, Jack Crevalle, Bonitos, and Spanish Mackerel, depending on the season and conditions on the day.
You'll be fishing from a 26' Nava boat with one of the biggest motors in Sayulita which means you get to go farther and with more speed. There is enough room for up to 4 anglers at any single time. It also includes an ice box.
Imagine this – you are trolling along, and all of a sudden you hear that beautiful sound "chicharra" of a fish latching on. The excitement at that moment is indescribable.
You never know what you will see out on the water, it’s always a new exciting experience, even for the captain and crew!
All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that's up to you is to use it as best you can. As for fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain so you don't have to worry about it.
Depending on the species and the daily catch, you will share the spoils of your adventure with the crew. Contact the captain before the trip if you have any questions about keeping the catch.
Along with fishing, you may also spot whales, dolphins, turtles, and other sea life. You can snorkel, go for a swim in secluded coves with crystal clear water, or enjoy a cold beverage, which the boat will be supplied with while watching the beautiful rugged coast of Nayarit go by.
Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.
Book your trip now and hit the water with El Amigo Chalo Tours.

Fishing trip
Thank you Alex & Captain
We went out with Alex and the Captain today and had a great relaxing time. We caught some bait fish for chum and bottom fishing and then trolled for about and hour. Then found a spot to bottom fishing and caught some cool beautiful fish then trolled another hr back towards the meeting point. We didn’t have any luck trolling today but that is fishing but the crew did a great job making sure we caught fish. We were catching fish faster then they could bait the hooks LOL. The sceneries were amazingly beautiful and Alex made sure to tell us the history of the area as my wife was fascinated with the area. We will book again next time we are in the area.

The captain was excellent. He knew what it took to catch the particular fish we were after.

If you actually like to catch fish, these are the guys to go with. The captain and his mate were patient with my two kids and wife, yet motivated to find fish and keep the mood relaxed. There were many other boats out fishing, but I didn’t notice any of the other boats actually catching fish. We caught Mahi mahi and bonita fish. We also got to eat our fish shortly after landing back on the beach as the they prepared the fish for us. I'd definitely recommend these guys for any type of fishing.

Great trip!
Caught more bonito than we could count! Bonus huge rooster fish caught trolling and skipjack on the fly rod! Epic day on the water with William and Pablo. Came back with tons of fish and enough to share with all the locals. 10/10 experience.

The captain and mate knew exactly what they were doing! We went out and they caught us bait to start the day. We were looking for Mahi Mahi, but weren’t able to find any at first. They put us on some rapid fire bonita trolling and luckily on the way back the spotted a school of Mahi Mahi and got us hooked on one. Would recommend this trip to anyone! Thanks for the great time.
