Our team proudly holds the record for winning more big game Marlin tournaments than any other charter in Puerto Vallarta. We provide a full range of bait options, both large and small, giving you all the tools necessary to land impressive catches. One unforgettable day, we spotted 10 Jacks and a couple of Mackerels—afterward, we could barely lift our arms from the fight these fish put up!
Our captain and first mate are seasoned professionals who truly excel at their craft. Guests often describe their experiences with us as the highlight of their visit to Puerto Vallarta. We receive countless compliments on the dedication and expertise from Jose and Edgar, whose efforts not only help you find fish but also make the entire outing enjoyable and rewarding. Beyond their fishing skills, they are genuinely wonderful people, making every trip even more special. We highly recommend them to anyone seeking a memorable and fun fishing adventure.
Experience has consistently been exceptional, having taken multiple trips — first in Cancun and now here in Puerto Vallarta, each with children in tow. These excursions have exceeded all expectations. One trip began with the kids catching bait fish, then unexpectedly witnessed the majestic show of a Humpback whale mother and her calf from just 40 yards away. The day concluded with landing two large Jacks and a fine Spanish mackerel. Captain Scoobie and his crew provided a safe, smooth, and family-friendly experience, making it easy to recommend for all ages.
