Based out of Sayulita, El Amigo Chalo Tours is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Capt. Gonzalo will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in trolling, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 5-hour trips, mainly fishing for Dolphin, Roosterfish, Jack Crevalle, and Spanish Mackerel, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

You’ll be fishing from a 26’ Nava boat with 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 or snack, 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.

Capt. Alex runs trips out of Sayulita aboard a 26’ Panga. These waters are known for mahi-Mahi, Tuna, and Mackerel and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or jigging. With generational experience in the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
