Get on board Calypso and enjoy your day out on the beautiful Mexican waters out of Puerto Vallarta! Captain Ariel Rosen has been fishing in the area since he was a kid, so he knows these waters like the back of his hand. He'll make sure you have an amazing time.
The Calypso, his 30' center console boat, is powered by twin 150 Mercury 4 stroke outboard engines. This gives it plenty of power to take you offshore in search of some monsters. Not to worry about sunny days, as there's lots of shade on board. The boat can accommodate up to 4 anglers.
Capt. Ariel will have Avett, Shimano, and Penn fishing equipment ready for you. You'll find tuna tubes, outriggers, downriggers, and 2 fighting chairs on board, so you'll maximize your chances of reeling in those huge specimens! Take your catch back home to the table – the captain will be happy to clean and fillet the fish for you.
There's a lot of trips you can choose from, depending on how much time you want to spend on the water, as well as which grounds you want to visit. The area is brimming with marine life, so there are opportunities for whale watching and snorkeling.
When it comes to fishing, there's always something to target. You'll try to reel in species like Mahi Mahi, Roosterfish, Snapper, Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna, Marlin, Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, and King Mackerel. The crew supports catch and release when it comes to all Billfish.
The number one specialty tour on Calypso is a day in Yelapa. This trip includes a little bit of everything – fishing, whale watching, and snorkeling. Up to 8 people are welcome, so it's the perfect family day. The crew loves new adventures and showing you this beautiful bay!
Join the experienced bilingual crew of Calypso, and have an unforgettable experience on these prolific Mexican waters!

Jason SkuttRepeat angler4.3Verified12 hour trip captain Ariel
12hr-3pax offshoreEL BANCO BIG GAME on December 2, 2020 • 2 adultsMy wife and I booked a 12 hr trip with captain Ariel in hopes of going way out and catching some bill fish or tuna. Unfortunately we never did run into a group.of schooling tuna. WE did have 3 sails come into our set but non of them committed. Finally at towards the end of our day we hooked up with a small stripped marlin. Even though it was a tough day of fishing we enjoyed the day and saw many other marine life such as whales sea turtles and dolphins. A big thanks to captain Ariel and his first mate for all of their hard work. We covered a lot of water and they even kept us out longer than 12 hours to try and get us more fish. Definitely would recommend captain Ariel for you
Sandra Hersh5.0VerifiedGreat day fishing with Calypso
6hr,8pax-Animas Beach,fish&snorkel on June 14, 2021 • 3 adultsWe had an amazing day with Samuel and Erick. We consistently pulled fish the entire day Ans the service provided was second to none. We will use them every time we come to PV
Ted Ball5.0VerifiedFull day bay trip with capt Ariel
8 Hour Trip –Offshore 4 anglers max on December 4, 2019 • 3 adultsThis was special outing for me, son and grandson. Perfect weather, great boat and superb crew. Both very attentive and great conversationalists. Took awhile and hard work to finally hook up for two of us in the afternoon. Catching big mahi was highlight of my 7 day cruise. Thanks Ariel and samuel for a fantastic day. Might make a return trip to Puerto Vallarta just to do the Calypso again
Duncan Clarke5.0VerifiedFull Day on Calypso with Ariel
5 Hour Trip – Inshore on February 18, 2017 • 4 adultsGreat day on the water! Boat was perfect for fishing - clean, seaworthy and well powered. Ariel was very knowledgable and accommodating. My 2 teenage kids and I have fished SoCal and Baja quite a bit but first time in PV. We met with Ariel and his deckhand Luis the day before and went over what kind of species we wanted to target and how far we were prepared to go. He told us that the Jack Crevalle bite was good inside the bay but suggested we head out early to the Marietas to see if we could find some exotics, knowing that we could always come back and load up on the Jacks later in the day. Good decision! Left the harbor at 6.30 and got to the Marietas at Sunrise. Magnificent! Like fishing in an aquarium. Filled the boat with Pompano, Snapper, Amberjack & Bonito while manta rays and whales surfaced all around us. Headed back inside the bay around 11 to target the Jack Crevalle. Found lots of boils under the birds and boated (& released!) 8 in total, all in the 30# class. Fantastic topwater action on light tackle with poppers and surface irons. My 2 kids were ecstatic! Called it good around 2.30 - Put some tunes on the stereo, ate fresh Ceviche and drank cold Pacifico's on the ride back - Epic day! Muchas gracias to Ariel and his crew. We'll be back for sure!
