We went out on a half day (5 hour) fishing trip with Huatulco Fishing Adventures and Captain Neri’s crew. The crew was knowledgeable and professional. The boat was comfortable and there were plenty of beverages. We caught a Marlin and couldn’t be more thrilled! We are having Marlin on the grill tonight. Thank-you for being the highlight of our vacation.

My son and I did a 5 hour afternoon trip and had fun. We managed to catch some nice jack cravelle and bonito. No luck catching any marlin though. Highly recommend this company. They are well equipped and know what they are doing. I would definately book with them again.
I had the privilege of going on a deep sea fishing trip with West Coast Huatulco and from the moment we left the marina, the crew set the tone for an exciting and seamless adventure. Captain Adrián and Ervinn were knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure trip was comfortable and well prepared for. The highlight of the trip was hooking and landing a sailfish! Seeing that beautiful fish break the surface, with its majestic sail and powerful movements, it was a battle but the experience was like none other. It took every ounce of strength and focus to bring it in. The crews’ expertise really shone through as they helped me land this incredible catch. 5 stars all around!
I communicated with the captain multiple times before booking and discussed several boat options. From the start, I was clear that I wanted something different than the standard all-day trolling with heavy gear and the same lures. I specifically asked about casting bait or lures, fishing closer to shore, or even bottom fishing if the bite was slow. Fish size wasn’t important — the goal was to actually fish and stay engaged. I selected this boat because I was told, “Sure, we can cast for tuna or something,” and that if neither trolling nor casting was producing, we could switch to bottom fishing. That flexibility is what sold me on the trip. Once we arrived, the tone changed quickly. The captain wanted payment immediately and strongly preferred cash; I paid half up front. After that, we proceeded to troll the entire day — the same large rods, same lures, same circles — with no bites, no strikes, and no attempt to change tactics. There was little conversation, no instruction, no adjustments, and no effort to do what we had discussed beforehand. We were given two beers, and that was essentially the extent of the experience. I understand fishing can be slow and that not every day is productive, but the issue wasn’t the lack of fish — it was the lack of effort, communication, and follow-through on what was promised. This ended up being a long, boring, and expensive day on the water. I would not use this service again and would not recommend it based on our experience. I’m sure they may have good days, but this trip did not deliver what was discussed or what we were looking for.
Jose worked hard on setting up rods and replacing and checking bates. He was in it to win it. Fantastic results.
