Fun day of fishing and impromptu whale watching
6hr ONLY FISHING IN THE BAY (5pax) on February 19, 20264 adults

Captain Ariel was easy to communicate with before arriving, knowing what we needed and dealing with port fees etc. On the day of the trip, we went with Hector and Fernando and they were great hosts and guides. We ended up catching 28 Bonita, only losing a few (our error), including one much larger fish(unseen). After an onslaught of fishing we pivoted to seeing some whales and dolphins for a while, before finishing the day with a little more slow fishing. Captain and crew were great. Would book again.

6hr ONLY FISHING IN THE BAY (5pax) on November 10, 20254 adults

Eric and Sam worked hard to find us fish, which didnt want to cooperate, however these two guys were engaging and fun to spend time with kn the water! getting to see dolphins, whales and catch a few fish made the day a success regardless of the amount of fish caught! highly recommend Calypso II and Eric\Sam !

Captain Ariel has been on a boat and on the water all his life but has only been in the charter business for 12 years. His passion comes from seeing a passenger on his boat with a big fat smile when they got that nice fish on board and showing everybody the beauty of Banderas Bay – Captain Ariel's backyard. This makes him the happiest person alive!
