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.

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.

What a wonderful afternoon!!!
half day of fishing on January 17, 20262 adults
First off, we were so happy to fund an afternon trip! We may be retired but after YEARS of working nights, earlier morning trips just dont work for us. So off we go at 1 pm knowing the fishing may not be the best. Jorge and Emiliano both explained this to us so imagine our surprise when an hour in, we are both fighting good size fish in the bay!! Two amberjacks (one 45 lbs, the other 40 lbs). Man i need to lift more weights 😂😂 Storm rolls in about an hour later so we head closer to shore and so exciting caught two albacore!! Oh yeah, did i leave out the fresh Shichimi that Jorge mixed us up or the water and beer that Emiliano kept offering? we had a wonderful time and will definitely keep this crew in our favorites for our next trip to PV!!! They were great and walked us through everything they were doing. Highly recommend👍

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!

Had a fantastic time with Jorge and Louis!
5 Hour Trip on May 19, 20262 adults
We opted for the 5 hour charter, in late May, so not peak fishing time, but we still hooked up with 3 albacore tuna and a blue roon in the first 45 minutes! Jorge and Louis showed up on time, and were very warm and welcoming. Always had good tunes blasting, and were very accommodating to both my girlfriend and I. We also caught a great 24lb jack crevalle, and hooked a smaller mahimahi, but we were not able to land it. The crew made an amazing fresh ceviche with one of the albacore tuna. We had a fantastic time, and highly recommend this charter!
