One unforgettable day, we landed 10 Jacks and several Mackerels, each fight leaving us exhausted but exhilarated. The Jacks are especially challenging, and our captain and first mate displayed expert knowledge throughout the trip, making it a standout highlight of our visit to Puerto Vallarta.
We can't speak highly enough of our adventures with Jose and Edgar. As a top-tier duo, they made every moment on the water enjoyable and productive, working tirelessly to find the fish and help bring them onboard. Beyond their fishing skills, they are genuinely great people who made the experience even more special with their friendly conversation. We highly recommend them for anyone seeking an outstanding captain-led fishing trip.
Our experiences with this team have consistently exceeded expectations. We've enjoyed two trips so far—first in Cancun and now in Puerto Vallarta—both family-friendly and perfect for kids. One particularly memorable outing featured the kids catching bait fish, followed by witnessing a breathtaking display from a mother Humpback Whale and her calf just 40 yards away. We capped the day with two enormous Jacks and an impressive Spanish Mackerel. Captain Scoobie and his crew made the trip relaxed, safe, and fun for everyone. We enthusiastically endorse their services for an enjoyable and family-oriented fishing adventure.

A fee of 1,000 pesos in cash is required for the beach panga service. Wondering what a beach panga is? It’s a small boat that transports you from the beach to our boat, since Punta Mita currently has no marina. Please remember to bring your own food and beverages, along with sunglasses, sandals, and either boat shoes or tennis shoes.
