My girlfriend and I fished with Tino on January 23rd, 2020. Sunrise was accompanied by Bob Marley, and gentle seas. We cruised well offshore, until we found schools of Spinner Dolphins, then set the lines and started trolling. We caught a 8 pound Yellowfin about an hour into the trip, things slowed, but we had the ever present dolphins to watch. Suddenly we had a quadruple header, 4 tuna on simultaneously. We actually managed to boat all 4, even though it took ten minutes to reel in the first two. These weighed between 10 and 15 pounds. We caught one more tuna, then a Bonito on the way in. Tino and deckhand Tony were delightful to fish with, Tino's English is excellent, and they work very well together. The boat is spotless, the tuna were beautifully filleted, iced and bagged. I've been a charter boat Captain in B.C. for 33 years, and would highly recommend fishing with Tino!

We have been fishing with Tino twice now and he has never failed to put us on the fish. Both he and his First Mate Toño are true professionals and two of the nicest people I’ve met. Tino’s knowledge of the waters and area will always keep me coming back. Huatulco is one of my favorite places to visit in Mexico. If you are looking for a great experience with trusted professionals, look no further. I was recommended to Tino by a co-worker and I would recommend his anyone because I trust him with my own family. Just check out the giant bull Dorado my son caught last week.

Tino offered us a private boat tour that was hands down far superior to the 7 bay cruise offered by our travel rep. Yes it was a little more...but incomparable. Don’t hesitate to book with this organization. Completely safe, reliable, prompt and over and above in customer service.
There was no rushing and our day was catered to our wishes. He even drove us out 7 miles to sea to find a pod of dolphins! We saw sea rays, leather back turtles, breaching humpbacks, and many secret sights of beauty along the shore line and into the national park. We snorkelled at a location that rivalled my experiences in Roatan.
This experience was over and above what I expected. Thank you!!

I went out expecting that we might catch something and we might see some animals, after all the guide can't control the conditions. The experience itself was amazing. It wasn't just seeing something in the distance that might be a dolphin, or just a wave; there were dozens of them swimming and jumping all around the boat close enough to reach out and touch. There were plenty of bites and I reeled in a six foot sailfish. Turtles, whales, rays jumping out of the water, we saw far more than expected.
Tino and his assistant are very competent.
This excursion was well worth what we paid.

We went out twice with Tino and his first mate Tony on their boat Snook this past week. We had a blast both times.

The first trip was a family trip seeing the bays of Huatulco for our first time in the area. We explored all of the bays north of Santa Cruz and saw humpback whales, dolphins, turtles, rays and many fish while snorkeling. We came across bait balls and Tino and Tony jumped into action casting right into them. My son reeled in a nice bonito. He took us snorkeling at San Agustin reef, to a lunch spot in another bay, and a cove no one was at for us to swim around. It was a blast.

Our second trip was an afternoon deep sea fishing venture. It is common knowledge that the best time to fish is in the morning. However, the only time that worked for us was in the afternoon and Tino was confident he could hook us into some fish. Like the lady running the tackle store in La Crucecita said “Tino has the knowledge, equipment and experience”. They have been doing this for 20 years and it shows. As soon as we exited the harbor- they got all 6 lines into the water! We went out 2 hours south into a rich area full of birds, dolphins, sea turtles and sting rays. After trolling for about an hour in that area we hooked into our first Dorado! Unfortunately, it shook free but we were optimistic that we’d catch another. Shortly afterward we did just that. We hooked another Dorado and my son (with Tino’s guidance) reeled it in. It was a battle of a lifetime and one my son will never forget. The Dorado was between 30-40 pounds and Tony filleted the fish right then and there. We ate part of the fish a couple of hours later and it was delicious!

Overall, I would absolutely recommend going on a trip with Tino. Both Tino and Tony were knowledgeable, professional and easy to be around. Both trips were worth every peso, and will be lasting memories for my family and I. If you’re planning a trip to Huatulco, it would be a miss not to go on a bay tour or fishing trip with Tino!

I was in Huatulco for two weeks from February 4-18th. I had the pleasure of going fishing twice with Tino and his assistant Tony. I just can’t say enough good things about these guys. Very professional, knowledgeable and safe. All rods, reels, and lures were top brands and in excellent condition. He supplies hotel pick up and drop off and accepts payment in Canadian funds. The rates were very reasonable.During the two trips we caught tuna, mahi mahi, sharks, and marlins including a 260 pound Blue Marlin. I highly recommend Tino if you want a successful trip.

What an awesome day of fishing with Tino and his partner. They work hard all day long to make sure we have the right baits, location, speed and everything else. Started the day with a striped marlin, then two habib mahi mahi then topped it off with a 220 lb blue marlin. Several others including a sailfish were on but escaped us. I highly recommend Tino if you want to catch fish and have a good time.

We had the best day fishing and snorkeling with Tino and Antonio! We met up at the Huatulco marina at 7am and caught our first Mahi Mahi within 10 minutes of leaving the harbor.

We caught all the fish we wanted in the next hour and he gave us some great options to either continue fishing for some different species or go snorkeling. We chose to go snorkeling and he took us to a fantastic spots! Clear water, beautiful coral, lots of fish and no other people.

When we were done snorkeling, he took us to a beautiful bay with a few restaurants that prepared our fish for lunch. The food was super good and the setting was perfect.

We can't thank Tino and Antonio enough and would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Tino's English is perfect and he's a super nice guy.

Tino did a great job bringing us around the bays, he drove us all around and brought us to some of the bays for snorkeling. He didn't just stay in the boat either, he was out in the water showing my kids and I the fish and telling us where the best seafood was. We saw lots of turtles, dolphins, and even whales! I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Very understanding and flexible.
