Leave all your worries behind and head offshore with Contender Sports Fishing. Based out of pristine Puerto Vallarta, you're a stone's throw away from the open ocean and the Pacific's unbeatable big game fishing opportunities. With the captain and his crew, you'll head to the most productive spots and start reeling in the biggest fish. Having run fishing charters for over 30 years, they know exactly what makes a memorable day out.
Set off aboard a 2016 30' Nava center console. Powered by twin 115 HP Mercury engines, you'll speed off as far as 60 miles offshore with the wind in your hair. No matter how far you go, you'll be comfortable throughout the day. With plenty of space for up to 4 guests to fish at once, you'll be able to catch the rays or cool off in the shade while your music blasts from the multimedia system. On longer trips, you'll especially be glad of the onboard toilet.
Trips range from 4 to 14 hours, so you can decide what suits you best. On shorter trips, you'll stay on the Bay of Banderas, bottom fishing the reefs for exotic Roosterfish, Jack Crevalle and many more. Longer trips will see you head far offshore, going after monstrous big game fish. Expect an enormous struggle trying to reel in exquisite Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, and Mahi Mahi. A match for any angler, you'll own all the bragging rights if you manage to best one of these.
After a lengthy battle with these beasts, you'll need to cool off, so take advantage of the water and ice provided, and put on your snorkeling gear and hop in the water. At the end of the day, the crew will prepare your fish for you to take to a restaurant back on land, so the fun can continue over a delicious meal. These trips really have it all, you just need to bring some snacks and drinks, and settle in for an unforgettable day with Contender Sports Fishing.
Please make sure that you only pay the captain at the dock.
