Top Oaxaca Fishing

We booked a mixed tour of fishing and wildlife watching for our family and it was wonderful. Our host for the day José was constantly making sure we are good and enjoying our time. My husband was excited to catch his first saltwater fish (a big beautiful sailfish) and along the way we saw dolphins and sea turtles. Jose even went out of his way to take us to a spot where dolphins had been spotted by another boat and we saw an amazing group of dolphins. Highly recommend booking with them.

Incredible experience start to finish. Pick up straight from our accommodation and a great day of fishing!! Omar and Pablo were awesome.

Incredible, incredible personalities, incredible experiences. Huge fish and excellent ethics, I recommend 1000%

Jose was really knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot and made some great memories.

This was such an awesome experience that my son and I had for Father’s Day. Omar and his team came thru and we caught a beautiful sailfish. Memory of a lifetime and definitely a repeat trip.

We had an incredible experience with Omar’s Sportfishing in Puerto Escondido. Captain Alfredo and his mate Pablo were outstanding from start to finish. Communication was easy, they picked us up directly from our hotel early in the morning, and the boat, gear, bait, cooler, ice, and water were all ready to go.We headed offshore at sunrise and ended up catching a beautiful striped marlin that jumped multiple times. An unforgettable experience. Alfredo and Pablo worked hard the entire trip, stayed positive, knew exactly where to go, and handled the fish professionally. You can tell they do this every day and truly care about giving people a great experience.The boat was clean, the equipment was solid, and the entire trip felt safe and well organized. If you are looking to fish for sailfish, marlin, tuna, or dorado in Puerto Escondido, I highly recommend Omar’s Sportfishing. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Oaxaca and I would absolutely book with them again.Thank you Alfredo and Pablo!

4th time out with Omar’s Sportfishing and as always an amazing day on the ocean! Will be back again and again and always choose Omar’s!

Fue una experiencia inolvidable con mis amigos. Agarramos dos peces vela entre muchos más durante las cinco horas. Nuestros guías (Enzo y su compañero) nos trataron increíble. Recomendaría traer una bocina para el viaje.It was an unforgettable experience with my friends. We caught two sailfish among many other fish during the 5-hour trip. Our guides (Enzo and his partner) treated us incredibly. I would recommend brining a speaker for the trip.

We had a fantastic half-day fishing trip with Omar’s and captain Alex. My two boys, father-in-law, and I spent a beautiful morning out, fishing for Bonito first to get warmed up and then heading out to deep water seeking Sailfish and Mahi. Had great luck on our day out, and had a great bonus of watching Bottlenose Dolphins surfing at the bow of the boat. Overall, and fantastic day out with a friendly, professional crew. Exceeded our expectations, which were already high given all of the great reviews!

What a great day! Our captain was a lovely dude and told us we’d be hunting sailfish but if we got lucky we might get the opportunity to reel in a tuna. And boy did we get lucky!! And 88kg monster of a tuna that took us 90 mins to reel in. Highly recommend. A great day on the water even if you don’t catch anything we still saw plenty of turtles and dolphins.

Was a great day we ended up with 5 sailfish the boys didn’t stop working hard all day changing bait and the rigs. Definately worth the money!

Captain Omar was incredible - so much fun, full of good vibes, and made the whole experience unforgettable. He and his crew went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day possible. Not only did we catch a HUGE fish, but we also saw hundreds of dolphins and sea turtles.It’s a private experience that felt so personal and special and is worth every cent. Way more than just a fishing trip — highly recommend.

We had the best time with Omar’s Sportfishing! This was more than just a fishing trip—it was a full family experience filled with bonding, laughter, and learning about the ocean and its incredible creatures. We even got to see dolphins up close, which was magical!We were lucky enough to catch four sailfish—an unforgettable thrill! We respectfully brought one back to shore to have it cleaned and filleted for a fresh, delicious meal, while we released the other three back into the sea. Omar’s team was absolutely top-notch: knowledgeable, respectful, friendly, and super helpful every step of the way. You can really tell they care deeply about the ocean and the fish, which made the experience even more meaningful.This was our second time doing a trip with them—we enjoyed it so much last year that we booked again without hesitation. If you’re looking for a genuine, memorable, and professionally guided fishing adventure, don’t look any further. These are good people who will make sure you have a great time.Helpful Tips for Your Trip: • Wear long sleeves, a hat, and sunblock—the sun is strong out there! • Bring easy-to-remove sandals for comfort. • They provide a cooler with water, but we recommend bringing your own beer or drinks. • Most importantly, come ready for an amazing time on the water! And have a good attitude, good vibes and be patient.We can’t wait to go again. Thank you, Omar and team, for another unforgettable day on the ocean!

Trophy Sail Fish opportunity with guides that really love their job and know what they are doing!!! Highly recommended with Omar and his son Jose !!!!

First, we did the 8 hour trip, which was not listed on the dropdown. If you are serious about taking such a trip, consider the 8 hour over the 5 hour. In our case, the extra hours were important due to a mid-day lull in activity.Did this on a whim. Always wanted to go on a private ocean fishing charter, but they are a quite a bit more expensive north of the border. My wife encouraged me to take a chance, and it was an absolute thrill.First, all communication with Omar was excellent and clear. My Spanish is sub-par, but Omar's English was excellent. On the appointed morning, a cab was waiting outside our accomidations at 6:30 sharp, as promised, and we were quickly wisked to our awaiting boat, and we were off by 7:00.Our crew were Alex as captain and Daniel as mate. These guys were absolutely awesome. They were as excited to be out there on the water fishing as I was. They even got my wife excited to be out there too. On the way out, they pointed out schools of rays jumping out of the water like popcorn, dozens of sea turtles just hanging out on the surface, and hundreds of dolphins, of two species, spotted and white belly, swimming to from all directions, checking us out, and following the boat. I have never seen this much aquatic wildlife action in such a concentrated spot. These guys used cues from the wildlife and what they saw, rather than fancy electronics, to find the fish. And find they did.Less than an hour in, we had the first significant hit, but were not able to get it on the hook. No matter, less than 30 minutes later, we did get a nice Pacific Sailfish on, and he started tearing away at breakneck speed. They both hollered "screaming reels" and told me to let the fish run for a bit. As I am a bit new at this, both Daniel and Alex provided much needed coaching, and Alex provided some very skilled boat handling to assist. About 20 minutes later, Daniel was able to bring the beauty shown below up for a quick photo before being released. We tried for a couple more hours, without further results, until Alex and Daniel noticed schools of yellowfin tuna breaking the water in a feeding frenzy. We spent the next couple of hours chasing them down, landing 7 nice specimens, and losing 2. Again, Daniel and Alex were going after these tuna with gusto. We began about 9 miles out, and ended up 15 miles out, at the conclusion of our chase. Alex was relentlessly chasing them down like a skilled border collie after some wayward sheep, while Daniel and I were jigging the lures in back. Again, I'm totally new at this, but they provided enough coaching that I was able to make a couple catches start to finish. My wife also had a blast bringing a couple tuna in. We kept the fillets from two fish to have prepared, both as ceviche and grilled, at a local restaurant. Delicious.Honestly, I can't think of anything Alex or Daniel could have done to make the day any better. A very memorable trip. In addition, on the way back in, when we were all a bit tired, Alex noticed a pair of sea turtles mating on the surface. He slowed the boat, and made a couple of wide circles such that we could get a better view, and take a couple photos. He was as excited to share this unusual scene as we were to see it.As a light skinned gringo I will offer three suggestions. First, bring pleanty of 50+ SPF sunscreen. Second, wear a long sleeve, sun rated shirt (rashguard). Finally, if you can find one, bring a neck gaiter, like what Daniel has on in the sailfish photo. The sun reflecting off of the water is every bit as intense as the direct rays.Brief summary, just go!

We had an amazing sport fishing experience with Omar. His boat and equipment are all in great condition and Omar brings with it many years of fishing experience. We had three good hits and had three decent size sailfish on board, photos and safely back in the water. Omar and his crew worked hard to ensure that we had a great day. On top of the great fishing we were lucky enough to see hundreds of dolphins. Thanks Omar.
