We consistently receive praise for our exceptional crew members, Jose and Edgar, who bring enthusiasm and dedication to every trip.

Many families appreciate our family-friendly approach, having trusted us not just in Puerto Vallarta but also on previous trips in Cancun. For example, a recent day-trip began with kids catching bait fish, followed by an awe-inspiring encounter with a mother humpback whale and her calf performing spectacularly nearby. The day concluded with impressive catches including hefty Jacks and a prized Spanish Mackerel. Captain Scoobie and his crew ensured the outing was safe, enjoyable, and perfect for all ages, making it a highly recommended experience for families.
