An amazing day on the water-- 5 adults and 5 kids. From the moment we boarded, the captain and crew made everyone feel welcome â they were communicative from the time we booked till time we got back to the marina. We were on fish almost the entire time, pulling in skipjack tuna one after another. The kids were thrilled. The snorkeling was great â safe, clear, and well-organized. The crew clearly knows these waters. The cherry on top? They made fresh ceviche from our catch right on the boat. Absolutely incredible. Kid-friendly, safe, action-packed, and genuinely fun from start to finish. We'll 100% be booking again.

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!!

Thank you so much for this incredible review! Reading this truly means a lot to me and my crew. It was a real pleasure having you guys on board. From the moment we left the dock, our goal was to make sure you had the best day possible out on the water â great fishing, good food, and a fun experience all around. I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed everything, especially the guacamole and the ceviche. There's nothing better than fresh ceviche made right after the catch! You guys did an awesome job on the rods â that was a lot of bonita! And landing that Amberjack was a great way to finish the day. I love that you got to enjoy it cooked fresh at the harbor too. Thank you again for choosing to fish with us and for trusting all those reviews when planning your trip. It really means the world to a small family crew like ours. Next time you're back in Punta Mita, the boat and the cooler will be ready for you again.
It was great to have nephews and son and brother n law, and extended family members on boat. We got to see how to catch bait fish and then from baitfish the bigger fish. We caught two small fish and a decent size red snapper. The only downside was not being informed prior to trip that there was a marina excise tax. It should be broken down when trip is being booked. I thought that was kind of shady. The only other thing would be to notify in booking that sea's can be choppy/turbulent and to take sea sick medicine if necessary. Luckily no one got sick. Overall the trip was a blessing, they had nice amenities such as bathroom and covered area's to keep one out of intense sunlight

Thank you for sharing your experience. It was great having your family on board, and we're happy you enjoyed seeing the process of catching bait and then going after the bigger fish â and landing that nice red snapper! Regarding the marina excise tax, during the booking process it isn't reflected on the platform, but when we share the departure details we do include the marina tax of 41 pesos per person. We truly appreciate the feedback and will continue working to make this clearer for future guests. Hope to have you back on board again soon.

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 fishâŠwe 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!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear your family had such a great day aboard Lucina III. Alfredo and the crew will be very happy to know you enjoyed the service, the boat, and the fishing. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you again on your next trip to Puerto Vallarta!
Lots of fish, lots of smiles, lots if fun. Alfredo and mario hooked us up, literally! The ceviche was amazing and the guacamole was the beat ive ever had. We caught a total of 12 fish in a span of 4 hours, Alfredo seemed to know exactiy where to go to get fish.
