About
Sport fishing is my passion, and I have been lucky enough to turn it into a career. I have been fishing for over 15 years in the Huatulco area and have had the opportunity to catch some amazing fish, smaller varieties such as Bonito and Tuna, to much larger trophy fish; Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin and Sailfish.

If you’re interested in a genuine experience in any adventure activity within the area, look no further, seriously. Cristiano is a stand up character and someone who truly cares about what he does. My girlfriend and I were looking to do some adventures around the area after surfing in Salina Cruz. We discovered Cristiano because we were interested in fishing, which was a great experience. The entire day on the water was dedicated to our leisure and enjoyment and we took full advantage, catching fish and snorkeling around rocky islands and reefs. After having a great day on the water (and a couple amazing tortas for lunch provided by Cristiano and his family) we knew we had found the perfect guide to show us his favorite local adventures. Our next trip with him was unforgettable, spending the day in the mountains hiking to various waterfalls, swimming holes, and more. I would highly recommend this service if you enjoy good company and non “touristy” treatment and experiences. Valuing customers experience, while also being both laid back and just an overall cool guy is Cristiano’s way. If you’re in the area, reach out. Hopefully you will be able to spend some time with this local, ocean and nature minded person, and have a great time.

Before I get to reviewing his fishing and bay tours I would like to give some extra information you may find valuable.
My family and I met Chrissanto on the beach while sun lounging. Shortly after meeting Chris, he became our family's point man for anything and everything we needed while on vacation.
He helped us to find the best instructor for my 13 year old daughter to learn how to surf, arranged to pick us up and bring us there and wait while she surfed. Chris did all of this without taking a commission for himself.
Chrissanto introduced us to his friend who would take us on a private guided trip to hike the jungle and see the most amazing waterfalls, caves, coffee plantations, and mezcal plantations. Chris arranged our pickup, transport, and guides as well as a second day trip to Puerto Escondido for some family shopping.
Anything we needed, he knew somebody for us. And all of his friends and colleagues were professional, knowledgeable, respectful and fun. We would not have had as great of a vacation as we did if we had not met Chrissanto.
Now, as for his fishing, snorkelling and bay tours. We first stopped to see dolphins, and we saw thousands. Pico dolphins, screw dolphins, and bottleneck dolphins. Playing, eating, jumping. It was amazing. Next he took us to see sea turtles and whales. We were amazed.
Chrissanto and his uncle took our family snorkeling through different bays around Huatulco and showed us many different species of coral and fish.
A shore lunch at an amazing beach restaurant was the hallway point if this amazing day, followed by some salt water fishing guides by Chris and his uncle. We were not disappointed as we had non stop action and fish all afternoon.
All in all, Chris helped complete our vacation and make it the best one yet. We look forward to returning next year and will definitely be booking more services through Chrissanto.

We first met Crisanto 10 years ago on our first visit to Huatulco. We have continued to use his services every year. He is such a kind and caring person and will make your boating experience truly personal and adapt it to your needs. This past weekend we asked him to take us to see dolphins and that is exactly what he did, there were literally of them. So weather you want to go fishing, snorkelling or just for a tour of the bays, Crisanto Carmona is your man. He will truly become your friend

We found Crisanto online. He had excellent reviews on tripavisor. I emailed him from home, he responded quickly. We were able to set up a customized tour with him, and booked before leaving for vacation. He was punctual and cordial as he picked us up from our hotel. Chrisanto was very knowledgeable, and an excellent navigator. He was able to bring us into the middle of a school of dolphins, which was absolutely amazing! If you are interested in bay tours, marine life, or sport fishing , I would highly recommend Crisanto.

We had the most amazing time with Crisanto. We hired him so that we could check out the surf at barra de la Cruz but ended up having the most fabulous time whale watching, fishing and snorkeling!! It was better than we could have imagined. We recommend anyone interested in doing these tour to go with Crisanto and we’ll definitely hire him again when we return!!

Myself and two other fishing partners enjoyed our day fishing with Crisanto Carmona. This was the second year in a row having Crisanto guide us onto fish. Crisanto is a very professional guide who along with his first mate know the local waters well, read the signs, and will get you onto fish. Boat and gear were in top shape. On this trip we were able to get into multiple Tuna on the fly rod. Once onto the fish the skipjack tuna willingly smashed deceiver patterns which truly tested the 8wt rod and reel. Multiple runs into the backing by these small but surprisingly powerful fish. Crisanto brings a positive attitude to work everyday and is a pleasure to fish with, I highly recommend Crisanto.

Captain Crisanto spent an afternoon with my wife and I touring the bays of Huatulco and took special care to insure our safety and provide a great experience. We were able to see Dolphins and mating Sea Turtles.We anchored in a smooth, calm bay to swim and then to have a fresh seafood lunch.He had a smile on his face and always remained focused even while playing music.Crisanto's good nature made our trip very enjoyable.

We took a day tour with Crisanto Carmona to go snorkelling and view the bays surrounding Huatulco and the National Park. With Crisanto as our guide, we snorkelled in three areas seeing wonderful sites and coloured fish. He was very professional and extremely helpful as we were a little out of practice. He made us feel very safe, in excellent hands and was a font of knowledge on local birds, fish and points of interest along the coast, such as the various blow holes! During our day we stopped for lunch at a local beach front eatery with wonderful authentic Mexican food and seafood. Our overall experience was awesome, so much so that we booked another day trip with Crisanto the week we were there!

Crisanto arranged for a terrific trip for my family and I. One of his head guides Chilo, Took us in a comfortable boat about 10 to 20 miles offshore. We were fascinated with the abundance of sea life including citing numerous sea turtles and schools of dolphins and feeding birds. It was really special. The fishing was also fantastic, Sheila was on the ball and lead us to a overturned boat with a massive school of Dorado. The action was fast And we left with great memories of intense battles with big Dorado and massive Sailfish. Chilo took us to a small beach restaurant, filleted our fish, and they were prepared for a delicious shore lunch. Overall, we had an amazing day and appreciate his communication and organization and friendly team. After the trip I realized my son left his phone on the boat. Crisanto was very kind and understanding and was happy to take the extra trip to return it to my son.

I've Never been deep sea fishing before, and was a little nervous. WOW what a day we had!! The Captain really put me at ease, talking to us about the bait, and why our bait bounced off the top of the water. When we started pulling in our catches, he was so calm teaching me how to bring in my Sailfish, not to rush...
Then with each fish, they were careful in deciding what to keep. (eg: only the male fish) and teaching me how to release them.
In our day, we caught 3 Mahi-mahi, 1 Sail fish, and a Marlin, plus a wack of small fish for bait.
On our way back, they cleaned the Mahi, and made us fresh ceviche!!
It was a great successful day, I would definitely do it again with Crisanto.
