We have dominated more big game Marlin tournaments than any other charter service in Puerto Vallarta. Whether you need large or small bait, we have all the supplies required to hook impressive catches. Our trips with Jose and Edgar have been exceptional—this top-tier team made our time on the water both enjoyable and fruitful. They worked tirelessly to locate the best fishing spots and assist with the catch. Beyond their skills as fishermen, their friendly nature made the experience even better. We had wonderful conversations with them and wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking a fun and rewarding captain-led trip.
Our experiences with Captain Steve have never disappointed, whether in Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, and both trips were family-friendly, including children. One unforgettable day began with the kids catching bait fish, followed by an incredible sighting of a mother humpback whale and her calf performing an amazing display just 40 yards away. We finished the outing with two large jacks and a beautiful Spanish mackerel. Captain Scoobie and his team provided an amazing, safe, and effortless fishing adventure that is perfect for families. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality time on the water.

Join Captain Cesar for an unforgettable 4-hour fishing excursion in the lively, fish-rich waters of Banderas Bay, just off the stunning coast of Puerto Vallarta! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, this trip provides an exciting opportunity to catch some of the most prized species in the area, all while enjoying breathtaking views of the Pacific coastline.
You'll fish aboard a spacious and powerful 38-foot Sportfisher, designed for both comfort and performance, accommodating up to 8 anglers. With Captain Cesar and his skilled crew guiding your journey, you'll explore the bay and beyond, employing effective techniques such as drift fishing and trolling to quickly locate the fish.
Depending on the conditions and what’s active, you might find yourself battling hard-fighting Jack Crevalle, vibrant Mahi Mahi (Dorado), swift Skipjack Tuna, sharp-jawed Needlefish, or the elusive Roosterfish. These species not only offer an exhilarating challenge but also make for fantastic photos and, in some cases, a delicious shore-side meal!
Captain Cesar’s crew equips every trip with premium gear, including fresh lines, fluorocarbon leaders, a complete selection of lures and hooks, and live bait tailored to the current feeding patterns. A cooler stocked with ice keeps your beverages and catches perfectly chilled. Their tournament-level tackle ensures reliable gear, allowing you to focus entirely on the fight without any worries.
This adventure is priced for the entire boat rather than per person, making it an excellent choice for families, groups of friends, or anyone eager to create memorable fishing experiences together. Morning departures are available between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, so you can pick the time that best suits your group’s preferences.
