    Caught a 7.5 ft sailfish!

    4 Hours Snorkeling Fishing Trip on October 28, 2026 • 8 adults

    This crew was phenomenal. We started off the day catching 4 toro, then finished off the day with a MASSIVE 89” sailfish. It was the biggest fish I’d ever seen caught. Afterwards they fileted the fish and we took the meat home. They offered to taxidermy it, but we chose not to.

    Amazing Day!

    8 Hour Trip – Offshore on March 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    If we could rate Alfredo a sixth star, we would. He and his crew are top-notch. We speak very (and I mean very) little Spanish, but Alfredo and his crew were kind enough to communicate with us the whole time in English - Gracias! We spent quite a bit of time researching boats for our fishing trip and went with Alfredo because of the great reviews. We are extremely happy we did! Alfredo's communication with me was prompt and thorough. We arranged (for a small fee disclosed up front) to be picked up and dropped off in Punta Mita. I read that others recommended that you bring snacks if you're going out for an 8-hour day. Since we had a quick turnaround from arriving in Mexico to our charter, I asked Alfredo if he could help out. Alfredo arranged sandwiches and extra fruit...both super yummy! Also, the homemade guacamole and ceviche made with our fresh catch were the best we had during our entire time in Punta de Mita. So good! Now to the fishing... Alfredo and his crew hustled. If we weren't catching, he was moving us quickly to another spot. I lost count of the number of bonita we pulled in (often two or three on a line); we also caught 3 or 4 skipjack, a Spanish mackerel, and an Amberjack. Since we were staying at a hotel, we gave all but a filet of the Amberjack away. They were kind enough to call a restaurant at the harbor for us, which agreed to cook our catch for us when we got back to shore. Delicious!!

    Great Day Fishing on Lucina III

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing on November 25, 2025 • 6 adults

    Our family of 6 (ages 82 to 14) had a great day fishing on Lucina III with Alfredo and his crew. The boat was clean and very well provisioned with snacks and drinks. The fishing gear was high quality and well maintained. Alfredo was awesome, as was his crew. We fished inshore, and everyone caught fish…we hit skip jack, mackerel, and even a rooster fish. I very highly recommend the Lucina III to anyone who wants a great fishing experience in Puerto Vallarta!

    Captain Fernando was fantastic!

    8 Hour Trip – Offshore on February 16, 2026 • 6 adults

    They were dialed into the fish from the start. we caught bonita, albacore, jack crevale, and topped it off with a 114 inch Blue Marlin! A fish of a lifetime for us! Roberto and the Captain made it fun for all 6 of us by not only catching fish but sharing thier knowledge and laughs. best charter we have ever booked in PV. Do at least the 8 hr trip. Ceviche was incredible also! thanks again!

    Great fishing! But overcharged at the end.

    8 Hour Trip – Offshore on January 8, 2026 • 5 adults

    The fishing was great as we caught a large 53 inch rooster fish and a bunch of bonito with 1 Mackeral and 1 Grouper. The crew was hard working and very nice. The only issue is that we were overcharged for our final balance at the end. The Balance was $1035 - 5% cash discount which should have paid about the same for the extra 2 cases of beer. Which comes up to almost exactly $1035. I handed the Captain $1090 for the balance and my portion of the tip. He then said that the beer was $75 and he needed more money. I reminded him about the discount and he said no. I have his email to prove it but we ended up just giving him more money. Oh well.

    4 hrs In-shore Fishing on February 17, 2026 • 7 adults • 2 children

    What a fantastic day! Our two grandsons (9 and 12) had an amazing adventure on their first ocean fishing trip, and the crew couldn't have been more helpful. We were entertained by whales and dolphins, and caught a variety of fish - including bonito which the crew made into a delicious ceviche for lunch.

    5 Star Experience! Highly Recommend!

    5 Hours Fishing and Snorkel on December 26, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    My family took a 5 hour fishing trip and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Top level service from Alfredo and Mario and they took awesome care of us. We caught a marlin and they made us fresh ceviche and guacomole. Would definitely book them again!

    Smooth sailing and fish in the bucket!

    8 Hour Trip – Offshore on December 28, 2025 • 9 adults • 1 child

    We had a wonderful time sailing, the seas reeling in several skip jacks, swimming at a secluded beach. Making civiche from our catch was also great. I’d recommend bringing your own snacks if youre doing a full day, like we did.

    An incredible day offshore! We spent 8 hours out on the blue water and the action stayed consistent throughout the trip. We landed several bonitos that kept the rods bending and the energy high on deck. Later in the day, we also hooked into two beautiful casteles, making the trip even more memorable.
