Calypso
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!

We did a fishing charter with Ariel on Calypso in Puerta Vallarta. While it was a beautiful day on the water, the fish just weren't biting. We only managed one Bonita and one Yellow Tail. We will try again the next time we are in PV. Note to everyone. When booking through Fishing Booker they require a deposit and then tell you to pay the rest to the captain. The form indicated that gratuities and credit card service charges are excluded in the charter. NO WHERE does it say that the captain excepts CASH ONLY! We did not have enough cash on us at the time so Ariel gave us a ride back to our resort so we could pay him what he was owed.

4th trip with Calypso. Tough conditions made it challenging but we caught fish and they clearly value the fishery resource. Never disappoints and has always works hard to put us on fish. Have fished charters over 30 times and Captain Ariel stands out as one of the very best.
