Fishing Trip (4 hours) - Low Season on July 18, 20264 adults

This trip start slowly because of the sea condition I think the tidal currents was not good... but captain Juan and fistmate Arturo were working very hard and try best way to catch the fish. I bring my equipment and I can enjoy also casting game. We only catch one Jack, but experience was so nice and I really recomend anyones who are considering fishing in Sayulita😆😆😆

Amazing Day!
Fishing Trip Full Day (9 hours) on November 5, 20252 adults1 child

Full day trip out to the ocean searching for Tuna. Had to wrestle with some hungry sea lions. Learned so much from Arturo and Mojo. We had a blast and loved being out there. Didnt catch the big ones but wasn't for lack of trying! Arturo is an amazing fisherman and full of knowledge and Captain Mojo navigated with expertise. Both were very patient when it 10 year old kept throwing sardines and hitting Captain Mojo 😂 We will be back and will definitely fish again with Juan, Arturo and Mojo! Our day was capped off with a delicious lobster dinner. We are so grateful to have met this awesome crew.

Record breaking Fish
Fishing Trip (4 hours) - Low Season on October 3, 20252 adults

Phenomenal Fishing Experience with Chawin and Arturo! From start to finish, this was by far the best fishing trip I've ever had. Guides Chawin and Arturo make an incredible team — professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. From the very beginning, they were completely in tune with finding and catching the best bait to ensure we could land some big Dorados. They worked tirelessly to get the right amount of bait, and their dedication truly paid off. Throughout the half-day trip, they never stopped working — constantly searching for the best fishing spots. Within the first two hours, we had already caught four Dorados, and by the end of the trip, we had an unbelievable total of nine beautiful, big Dorados! They went above and beyond by filleting the fish for us and keeping the atmosphere fun and engaging the entire time. Their humor, attentiveness, and genuine care made the experience unforgettable. If you're looking for an exceptional fishing trip with guides who truly love what they do and make sure you have the best possible experience — ask for Chawin and Arturo. You won't be disappointed!
