Daliken Sportfishing 

This was the first time my girlfriend and I have ever fished out of San Jose. The Captain Jaime, or could have been Carlos and crew Felipe were outstanding. We hooked our first stripped marlin 30 minutes into fishing, but unfortunately it broke off. But in the next two hours we landed two beautiful Striped Marlin, one about 80lbs then a 220lb monster. We also hooked what was probably a very large shark that we fought for about 40 minutes before the line snapped. Back at the marina we took photos and they cleaned and filleted the fish for use., We also had them vacuum seal it and freeze it for our flight back to Oregon. I would definitely charter from them again, we had an amazing trip. The only complaint I had was that one of the reels did not have a level wind on it, which caused the line to bunch up in the middle while I was fighting the shark and caused the line to pinch and break. I really wanted to see it after the long fight. Overall we were very happy with the charter and look forward to the next trip with them.

I was a little leary when I saw the boat bit we had an absolutely fabulous time. We live here in Mexico and we can’t wsit to book our next trip with Caesar! Even though we couldn’t speak each others language we communicated just fine and had a wonderful experience! Thank you so much!!! 😘🇲🇽🌞

My wife, daughter, and I fished for 4 hours with our guide, Poncho. He was very friendly and very efficient in setting up the rigs for trolling and live-bait fishing. We hooked 2 mahimahi on live-bait, then a few on lures. We caught a very large mahi that Poncho said was rare to see. After returning to the dock there were guys waiting to filet our catch. We walked away with 5 full bags of mahi filets! Daliken kept in good contact with us prior to our trip and confirmed all the details. We highly recommend Daliken!!

Got off to a slow start, we couldn’t find live bait. Once the Captain decided to head out the energy improved. The Captain and first mate were seasoned veterans. They had a destination in mind. We got there and we got set up quickly. We trolled awhile and noticed something in the water. It was a Marlin with its head sticking up. We starting heading that way, when fish on! A Mahi was leaping out of the water. I pulled that fish in, when another Mahi leaped. Fish on again. We landed that fish. Great start. We settled in, set up and trolled. A little while later, bam, fish on. This was a different story. Reel screaming, heart pumping, a big Blue Marlin dancing on the water. An epic battle ensued. The Captain and mate did a great job helping me land the fish of my dreams.

I have a mixed review. we’ve fished with this company 3 times now. We reserved a trip with the understanding that we would have a specific captian. It wasn’t until we boarded our boat that i was informed that Captain wasn’t available. We shrugged it off and got underway. on the way out of the harbor our captian didnt stop for live bait. i was told my 30 bucks paid for the frozen pack of ballyhoo. I raised a ruckus and we headed back to port. Well 45 minutes later and no live bait we went fishing. Here is the good news, Cesar (our captian) fished his butt off. He changed tactics, chased bait balls and found us a fish of a lifetime. my boys and I each got a chance to fight the Striped Marlin we hauled in. yeah it was an epic day.
