Sayulita Kayak and Surf Fishing Tours

A good friend came down to visit from Bozeman. We fish together frequently and I wanted to take him out from Sayulita. We hired Jorge and had a great day of fishing. Not only did we catch a ton of fish, Jorge was a great source of information about local fishing and the town. He was very laid back and personable.

He coming over tonight to prepare our catch and share some local fish cooking insight. Looking forward to fishing with him in the future and fishing on his newer bigger boat the Tortuga 2! Watch out Cow Tuna next fall.

My husband and I spent a day in Sayulita recently while on vacation in Puerto Vallarta. My husband went out fishing with Jorge for 4 or 5 hours and he absolutely fell in love with it! He has fished a lot back home but never anything so intense and exciting as this. It has been all he has talked about since we left. He also said Jorge is very friendly and full of info about fishing and the area in general. Great day!

fishing with George is a great experience I have been twice and both times we have caught lots of big fish He really knows how to catch them has taught me how to be a better fisherman he also is lots of fun

Went out with Capt. Jorge in December of 2018 and had a great day! Caught 5 fish, including 2 large Mahi. Good fishing and good times aboard “La Tortuga”!

We went out with Jorge for a 4 hour trip on his Panga "Tortuga I" hoping to both catch local fish in the bay and also learn about the local marine life as in addition to being a great fishing guide Jorge is also a Marine Biologist (and a chef who can give you some excellent advice on how to prepare your catch if you are lucky like we were!) After some quick training on fishing/trolling with live bait more so for the wife we were off and running down the south coast of Sayulita. Within an hour the first fish of the day was landed by my wife (an angry Needlefish!) and released! After some near misses on Dorado near the "Palapas" (man made fish attracting buoys with palm leaves set up all up and down the coast) we finally ran into a school of Dorado and had a double hook up after some amazing aerobatics by these 2 Dorado we landed the first one and almost had the second one but he managed to break off right at the boat it was still very exciting! We got one more fish on the way back a Skip Jack and made it back to the beach where instead of being dropped in the mess of all the other boats and beach goers we were dropped near the Villa Amor Hotel with steps up to the road. Jorge cleaned and catch and and sent us home to enjoy! Jorge is the consummate professional who keeps you constantly informed and entertained with his knowledge of fishing, marine life, cuisine and the Village of Sayulita you won't regret a trip with him! Buena Suerte!

I had a great time with Jorge on his panga on Father's Day in June. I found his information on Sayulitalife but also received recommendations from him from those in town. We met on the main beach at 7:00am and set off to the south, trolling just off the shore. Jorge is super friendly and personable and speaks English fluently but I did my best to speak Spanish as much as I could. He is very experienced not only about fishing the waters in the area, but also the marine life as he is a marine biologist. I had a blast catching several skipjack, which fought really hard despite their size. I also caught several needlefish, which I had never seen before. These fish also fought very hard and also jumped out of the water! We trolled lures and also wetflies which Jorge tied himself. We didn't catch any dorado or snook this time, but I'll save that for the next trip! Since I was staying for several days and surf fishing on my own, Jorge was kind to give me a few lures to try out on my own. I highly recommend Jorge if you are planning on fishing when in Sayulita.

I highly recommend hiring Jorge to guide your fishing trip. He is knowledgeable, patient, funny, and knows where to find fish! We will be back to catch more!

Jorge made everything easy and it was a great time. We caught fish trolling and bait casting. He gave me the fish fillets at the and and they made great fish tacos! The coast was gorgeous and I learned a lot.

Went on a cruise with family in February. One of the stops was in Puerto Vallarta. A month or so before the trip I did some research online because I wanted to go fishing from a kayak. I found nothing online of any places in Puerto Vallarta. Then I went to the local fishing website in Oregon to ask for recommendations. One person said something about Sayulita. I found this website SayulitaLife.com and read all the great reviews on Jorge! Got in contact with him and started setting it up. When we got into Puerto Vallarta I took a bus to Sayulita and met him on the beach. He had everything ready for me. As we were paddling out to where we were going to anchor he had me throw out a lure to troll. It wasn't more than five minutes and I had my first jack crevalle, about 12lbs! Went out to anchor and got another, same size. He brought out beverages and we chilled on anchor. When we got back to shore he took me back to Puerto Vallarta so I could get back on the ship, amazing guy! I asked how many people he has take out fishing that have come from a cruise ship and he said I was his first. Our cruise was overnight so there was in no rush to get back. The place was beautiful and way, way, way more relaxing than Puerto Vallarta. Nobody pushing you to buy things. Would love to take my wife and spend a couple weeks there sometime. The equipment was new and well taken care of, can't wait to do it again! Jorge you are the best!

Jorge made this day of surf fishing very special. Jorge's equipment is all very high quality. We drove to a beautiful secluded beach and had a bite to eat while Jorge explained what to look for when you are hunting fish. Jorge threw a net in and caught lots of sardines which was the bait to fish with. Because, on my third cast I hooked a Jack Crevalle. This fish took 45 minutes to land and it put up a really hard fight. We went back to Jorge house and he filleted and provided ice and a bucket to take this fish home. Jorge went out of his way to explain fish bait, equipment etc.
This service is highly rated and would recommend if you like to fish.
Thanks Jorge for a great memory, David Fenn B.C. Canada.
