It's time to take the family on a brilliant day out in Mexico. Spend the day with the dedicated crew of Ainara Valeria I, who will do everything they can to make sure you have an incredible trip. At the helm is Captain Jorge, an English and Spanish-speaking captain who is detail-oriented – let him know what you want from your day and he'll do everything he can to make your dreams come true.

Whether you're spending more time fishing or are just jumping aboard to get to the beaches, the boat you'll be on is comfortable and has enough space for 11 anglers. When fishing, 3 anglers can fish at once, or 2 can fly fish instead if they bring their own fly fishing gear. There are 6 masks and fins on board for snorkeling, and one person can spearfish. There really is something for everyone!

The 30' boat has a multimedia system so you can blast your tunes as you travel. There's plenty of seating for a relaxed ride out and 2 fighting chairs to help you reel in the big fish.

Some of the species you can target include Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Jack Crevalle, and plenty more. For fish that can be kept, your captain can make ceviche on board for you. Alternatively, take your catch to a local restaurant and have it cooked there, accompanied with rice and vegetables, for a small cost.

Trips with Capt. Jorge are all about you! You can do a range of activities, from touring Yelapa town and visiting the Cascade Waterfalls, to snorkeling and light fishing. Your day, your choice.

If you choose to fish, the rods and reels are provided for you. You can choose to catch the live bait yourself or purchase it from one of the other local boats, which is an experience in itself. Both options are included in the price.

You should bring along drinks on all trips, as well as sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a towel if getting into the water.

Book a trip today with Ainara Valeria I for an unforgettable and fun-filled day out that your whole group will love.

Best fishing trip to date!
Half Day Trip Fishing on July 10, 20264 adults

Captain Jorge and crew were amazing! They were very friendly from the start and made sure we were comfortable and had a great time. We caught a ton of jack creville and at one point they even managed to get our whole group of 4 reeling at the same time! We know it's fishing and nothings guaranteed, so we certainly didn't expect the action that these guys delivered! An absolute pleasure fishing with these guys, and memories that will last a lifetime! If you're on the fence, trust me it's worth it!

STELLAR fishing trip!
6 hour trip — combo on April 16, 20262 adults

If you're looking for excellent guidance, stunning vistas, and a great all around fishing experience, book Valeria with Captain Jorge! We caught a beatiful Jack-fish that made for an entertaining reel-in and one heck of a fighting fish. Good music made for an epic soundtrack for the day. We fished, we enjoyed the water access only Amapas beach and even snorkled at Los Arcos. There is no better way to enjoy the Bay of Banderas than with Captain Jorge! We will be back and 100%, no questions, we'll be on Valeria with Cap't Jorge. Excellent value, stupendous congeniality, and an experience you should not pass up.

Fantastic Day
6 Hour trip on March 15, 20261 adult1 child

My son and I had a fantastic day in the water with Captain Jorge and his firdt mste Emi. I think it took under 5 min to get our first fish in the boat. Captain Jorge had us on some schools of bonito very quickly in a spot where we were the only ones in that tack. I heard some of the other boats on the radio asking where the bonito were. We even had a triple header and maaged to land all three. We then moved on to trying bait on the bottom for snapper and running live bait for jacks and roosters. We had a couple bites but nothing stayed on unfortunately. Captain Jorge and Emi were great to hang out with for the day. Always checking if i needed a cereza or my son needed anything to eat or drink. They made an absolutely fantastic ceviche on board with one if the bonito while we drifted for a bit with the live bait out. The boat has a bluetooth sound system ao you can have music playing as you are running out and fishing if you like. Captain Jorge had a mix on that I was playing all the bangers you heard at clubs in the late 90s and early 2000s. It was great. I'm planning a return trip for Oct/Nov when more of the larger game fish are running and will be booking a full day with Captain Jorge on the Valeria 1.

Famtastic captain and great experience
5 Hour Trip on July 3, 20263 adults

Jorge and Daniel were phenomenal, and did everytjing in their power to ensure a good day and a decent catch. Not many boats seemed to be hitting fish the day we were out, but we managed to snag a few. They were patient with the general inexperience in our group, and made everything easy and seamless from dock to dock. Ive done quite a bit of fishing across mexico, and the value offered here is outstanding.

Great trip!
Full Day Trip <Off Shore> on February 2, 20261 adult

I had a great time on my charter with Jorge and his crew. We went approximately 60 kilometers off shore looking for mahi mahi. Unfortunately they were not cooperating. However we managed to land 4 other fish. I was lucky though to see whales and dolphins. We all tried our luck at catching tuna. we saw them jumping all over the place! But again, no luck. I felt that the captain and his crew worked hard to get the fish I wanted. Hopefully better luck next time. If you're looking for a great adventure, I would highly recommend chartering Jorge and his crew!
