While having lunch at the marina, my wife and I decided we should go fishing while in Huatulco. We emailed 3 of the top rated fishing tours for info, and Pulpo responded to the email very quickly. He then came to our hotel within an hour, giving us many options of how we would like to spend our day on the ocean. He picked us up the next morning at 7am and we were on the water by 720. We saw sea turtles, stingrays and 100's of dolphins (some jumping right beside our boat) It was a very slow day for fishing though. The fisherman communicate by radio, and no one seemed to be having much luck that day.
Pulpo was determined to have us catch a fish though. He was constantly trying different hooks, bait and locations. We were working our way back to the marina thinking it was just not our day, when all of a sudden we hooked the big one! It was a huge Marlin!! What an awesome experience to land such an amazing fish!
Everything about Pulpo was very professional and he is super nice guy. He was punctual, very informative, has top notch equipment and his wife packs delicious sandwiches and drinks for lunch on the water:) We will definitely be booking again with Pulpo next time we are in Huatulco! You should too!

Roberto did an amazing job! We started the day with an early Mahi Mahi in between giant pods of hundreds of dolphins. Then we picked up a few more Mahi mid morning. Then things got really interesting when we spotted a sailfish jumping! We trolled over to the area and DOUBLED UP on two sailfish! We got both of them to the boat and had a blast, would highly recommend this crew, they did an amazing job and have been fishing the area for a very long time!

From booking to drop off everything in between was perfect! Roberto came highly recommended to us and I would highly recommend him to anyone else that is looking for private fishing charter or 7 bays tour in Haultulco Mexico. Roberto was on time and picked us up at hotel himself then we had a short drive to Santa Cruz where we boarded the boat and left for our day on the water. We were lucky enough to catch a couple of really nice mahi mahi and seen a lot of other great sea life from dolphins, mante rays and turtles; although we never caught a marlin or sailfish it wasn’t for lack of effort. Roberto’s boats Ballyhoo and Ballyhoo 2 are in great shape and fishing gear is top notch and in great condition. When we had enough fishing for the day Roberto and first mate Luis provided us with knowledge of the area and some history during the 7 bay tour where we stopped for snorkeling and lunch at a busy little restaurant where the cooked us fresh mahi mahi and fresh ceviche from our catch earlier that day. Roberto then delivered us back to our hotel. We enjoyed it so much we actually booked and fished with Roberto and Luis a second day while on our vacation. You will not be disappointed when booking with fishing with Pulpo! Thank you to Roberto and Luis; see you again.

These guys are just the best. They are true professionals who were DETERMINED to make sure we caught a fish or two! We were planning a 4 hour charter and after 4 hours we didn’t have a fish. They added just enough time to our charter (without asking for more money) to make sure we caught two beautiful Mahi. It was just magnificent. We drove through a pod of maybe a hundred dolphins who were playing and jumping right at our bow. We saw countless sea turtles. The sandwiches were delicious and our hosts made sure we had beer, water, and anything else we needed. At the end they dropped us off right at the beach in front of our hotel. What a GREAT DAY!! Thanks to you Roberto and to your son for an AMAZING experience.

Been fishing in Huatulco for 5 years now and have fished with a few people but Fishing with Pulpo is by far the best. A family friend who has been fishing with Pulpo for 30 years recommended him and now I won’t fish with anyone else. It’s worth booking if you are a beginner or an avid fisherman. Along the way you will probably see dolphins, whales, turtles!! As well as enjoy some ice cold beverages of your choice and some snacks all day. Absolutely zero complaints.

After we caught 6 amazing mahi we were dropped off at Maguey Beach where the days catch was cooked up fresh from our friends at our favourite restaurant.

Highly recommend! See you next year Pulpo!

We had a wonderful day with Roberto! We saw a huge pod of dolphin which NEVER gets old; Roberto made sure we stayed with them for a long time. A little while later we saw a couple sea turtles enjoying their "honeymoon". Very interesting! And again, we lingered for a bit watching something unusual to witness. Roberto took us to San Augustin to enjoy some very good snorkeling and joined us for an enjoyable and relaxing lunch. Then we went on to other bays for more snorkeling. He is open to whatever you would like to explore and provides lots of local information. He also does fishing excursions; this particular day we just wantes a snorkeling and bay tour adventure. Roberto has a nice ponga with twin Yamaha motors and provides water beer and soda for the ride. I really liked the fact that he had fresh water to rinse off with after snorkeling. Highly recommend Roberto! We had a beautiful fun filled day with him!

At first my wife and I were a little skeptical of going with Roberto because we had received lower offers for a private tour but we do not regret a single thing. Roberto is experienced and is an excellent guide. He is very accommodating and will let you choose whatever you want to do. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel making it very convenient for us. He snorkels alongside of you so you don't feel like you're being rushed by someone waiting on you. Speaks English if you don't know Spanish and is very friendly. Would definitely recommend Fishing with Pulpo!

We took a Bay tour with Pulpo. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable about the bays and is family friendly. We hired him on a recommendation. Best decision we made. He took us to the bays and made suggestions on which were kid friendly for our kids to swim and snorkel. He made the trip very enjoyable by playing music and engaging with our kiddos. We saw sea turtles and we even caught a fish. We also booked him for a fishing trip. It was very fun and we caught dinner. I will definitely recommend and hire him again.

We had an amazing day fishing with Roberto, I couldn’t recommend him enough. His boat and gear is in impeccable condition, and he expertly brought in the massive sailfish we caught with care and compassion. He provided delicious sandwiches and filleted the fish on board without wasting any meat - it was quite impressive! The waters were quite rough and we weren’t nervous in the least while in his care. Thank you for a great day of fishing!
