Omar's Sport Fishing

Puerto Escondido's is known as a fishing village. Omar's sport fishing charters are well known, and offer a spectacular fishing experience. We offer year-around offshore action with sailfish, marlin, tuna, and dorado. Inshore we catch roosterfish, amberjack, king mackerel, grouper and much more.

We encourage our anglers to hook their own fish and be as hands-on as they want. Our fully equipped boats and experienced crew will do what it takes to ensure your greatest chance for success. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a novice, we will accommodate your needs.

Puerto Escondido is ideally situated on the Pacific Coast of Mexico (15° 51'N, 97° 04'W), close to deep water and highly productive fishing grounds. The Middle America Trench is only about 10 miles offshore Puerto Escondido. We offer full and half-day sport fishing charters for year-around action. Our experienced local captain will ensure that your trip is both fun and successful. - Our boats are 25 ft long. They are set up for serious fishing with a depth sounder and a GPS. We provide top quality fishing tackle.

- We can comfortably accommodate 4 people. The boat has lots of shade. We provide bait and ice. A lunch is included on full-day charters. Safety equipment includes a VHF radio, life jackets, cell phone, GPS, anchor, flares, and a fire extinguisher.

- We recommend full-day charters for offshore marlin fishing. We troll, bait, and switch. We release most billfish, especially sailfish. We recommend keeping only what you can eat. For half-day inshore charters, we troll, drift, and cast. We'll gladly arrange for one of our fine local restaurants to prepare your catch.

Captain Omar Ramirez was born in Puerto Escondido, and has been guiding since he was 15 years old. He has a genuine passion for the ocean and the life in it. He and his experienced crew will work their hardest to see that your trip is a success.

Captain Omar

Puerto Escondido is home to one of the most intelligent mammals on earth - the dolphin. We have four species of them in our waters: spotted, common, spinner, and bottlenose. They are here year-around, but we see the biggest concentrations in the winter months. We can see anywhere from 10 to 1,000+ on a 3-4 hour tour aboard the "Gitanita". We'll go to what Captain Omar calls the "dolphin highway", 8-10 miles off shore Puerto Escondido.

Depending on the species we find, the dolphins will be jumping, "tail walking", riding the bow wake, playing in the stern wake, etc. You'll be able to listen to how they communicate with each other, either by getting in the water with them, or by listening via the hydrophones we provide. Other things we will see are sea turtles, manta rays, flying fish, and numerous species of sea birds. In the winter months, we may even see humpback whales.

The Gitanita is 33 ft long, seats 20 people, and is specially designed for dolphin watching and eco-tours. There is plenty of shade, and modern safety equipment: GPS, cell phone, VHF radio, life jackets, etc.

As the saying goes, let the pictures speak for themselves (taken in December 2005).
