Our Captain, José, was so great with our family. He was extremely patient and helped us catch more fish than we ever expected. The wind and waves were challenging but he navigated us to an excellent area for catching fish. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and will re- book with José Salazar on our next trip.

Captain Jose Salazar was a friendly and capable skipper. He was very attentive to our needs and took good care of my 83 yo father. We caught some nice fish and many small ones which is par for the course when bottom fishing here.
The boat is comfortable with space for up to 4 anglers. It is a little old and can use some work, but certainly serviceable. The fishing gear is also a little worn and could use updating, but serviceable for the bottom fishing we were doing. The knowledge and friendly nature of Capitan Jose definitely outweigh any of the minor gear issues. You will have fun and catch fish aboard El Gato.

Thank you Captain Checo!!

We had an amazing time!! We started the day fishing for bait. Upon arriving to our final destination for big fish, we immediately started catching trigger fish. There were several boats fishing around us watching us catch fish, while they were not catching anything.  After catching a 67lbs grouper and a 33lbs grouper other boats swarmed to our location. Even still they were not catching fish. They just watched us reel in trigger fish left and right. We ended the day with 20 trigger fish and 3 giant grouper. I am certain the success of our trip was due to the experience with the el gato crew! I will only be using Captain Checo from now on while I stay in Puerto Peñasco.

Very knowledgeable very accommodating for my twelve-year-old son and we had a great time I would recommend this trip to anyone who’s wanting a small group personal experience
As for the previous reviews that complained about the equipment it’s no worse than the same fishing gear you have in your own shed to fish in the States Everything worked no major malfunctions reeled in every fish we caught

I like the trip and my family had a great time.  The boat was order then it looked on the picture but worked fine.  The Captain was very personable and helpful with the kids.  He always had our hooks baited.  The ad said that there was live bait but that was not the case.  Just pieces of dead fish or fish we caught.  When you expect live bait and it’s advertised you should get live bait.  Other than that everything was great and we would go again.  The 4 hour trip was 280.00 usd and 2 hours more was 20 dollars.
