Valeria I
It’s time to take the family on a brilliant day out in Mexico. Spend the day with the dedicated crew of 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 Valeria I for an unforgettable and fun-filled day out that your whole group will love.

7 hours - yelapa town & fishing
Best fishing experience ive ever had!
Captain Jorge and David exceeded my expectations. It was easy to find them and extremely friendly. At first we booked the light fishing and Yelapa tour but after catching a small tuna within the first 3o min I realized we needed to try the deep sea. The first blue marlin we tried to catch broke the line. Within the next 20 min we got another bite and it took me 30 min to reel it in. My arms were sore the rest of the week. I'll definitely remember this the rest of my life. I'm definitely going back to Puerto Vallarta and booking another trip with Captain Jorge and David.

6 Hour trip
Everything we hoped for!
I have never been "deep-sea" fishing before. Our guide and his deck hand were fantastic! It was very helpful that the Captain Jorge was bi-lingual, as I am not! He was an excellent teacher, and you could tell that it was his mission to get us on some fish...and he did! I wanted albacore to take home and share with my friends and family and Jorge and David made that happen! If I ever go back to Puerto Vallarta, I will absolutely book another trip with them!

10 Hour Trip – Big Game
Great crew, comfortable boat, big sailfish!
After having our flight delayed 8 hours the day before and a late night arrival, Jorge worked with us to delay the start time of our trip the next morning. He helped us coordinate transportation as well. Jorge and Danny are pros - they worked extremely hard the entire trip. My wife, a novice offshore angler, found herself comfortable the entire time. The boat was plenty big enough and very nice, the on boat bathroom was helpful and useful to her as well. While we trolled and tried for a variety of fish, we only hooked one - but made it count with a 105” sailfish. It was an exhilarating 45 minute fight. 5/5 highly recommend this crew, and appreciate their efforts. We will be back!

5 Hour Trip
Two trips great time
My buddy and I went for a full day of fishing. Attempted to go for Marlin. 8 hours and nothing. Weather was not the best. Captain Jorge honestly tried his best. He felt bad. We did come across several thousands of dolphins which was pretty cool. Just before we got back to the docks, Captain Jorge dropped a line and I immediately caught a Jack so I atleast got one. My buddy had a Jack on but couldn’t land it. Overall the trip was great, wish fishing was better. Three days later we had Jorge take my family out (5 of us) and we beach hopped, walked to and swam in an amazing waterfall with the first mate as our tour guide. All five of us caught a fish on the way to the beach and I caught a dorado and an albacore. Captain had the beach restaurant cook our dorado and it was amazing. Finally he took us to a small primitive cove where we played in the sand and jumped off some really cool rocks. Captain Jorge is a solid good guy. I highly recommend him. He knows what he’s doing and is very professional. I hope to go out with him again in the future.

half day of fishing
Fun experience
This was our last day in puerto Vallarta I was looking forward to catch a sailfish but didn’t happened that’s why is call fishing not catching. it was pretty easy to find the location and there directions are top notch we went out around 11am met with the captain and he started to explain to us that for what we are paying for gonna be mainly small fish and closer to the shore. He said for extra 100$ we can go more deep inside the sea and have better chances to catch fish so we went for it . We was out in the sea for about 4 hours before my wife got really sick the water change on us real quick and we had to turn around the captains and the helper are really friendly and they explain any questions you have they also made us sailfish ceviche as well and it was really good if I go back to puerto Vallarta I will definitely book with Valeria I again but in the morning the earliest they have.
