4 hrs fishing trip in the ba (copy) on October 15, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had an amazing experience, crew was unbelievable. seeing dolphins was a bonus. caught so many fish our arms were wore out. We had a slow start but the crew worked their magic and got us on the fish. They definitely improved my fishing skills. Can't say enough about captain and mate absolutely 1st class service.

Oswaldo CalvachiRepeat angler4.7VerifiedAmazing trip on the water with plenty of fish on deck
6hr ONLY FISHING IN THE BAY (5pax) on January 15, 2025 • 2 adultsWe booked the 6 hour trip and fished mostly the north part of the bay near Punta Mita. Our two deckhands were extremely friendly and helpful. It took about 45 mins to get to the fishing grounds. Then we started trolling. 100% of the fishing was trolling with artificials. As soon as there was a bite, the deck hands hand you the rod and you reel in the fish. We had a great day and caught about 14 Spanish mackerel and 2 Bonita. About half way through the trip, one of the deck hands prepared sushi and ceviche with the freshly caught fish. They also filleted all our catch and we get a solid 4 lbs of fish. We then took our fish to the little hut restaurant in the marina and they prepared delicious chicharon and pescado a la plancha with our catch. 10/10 recommend.

10hr-3pax(offshore fishing) on October 5, 2024 • 2 adultsMy son and I came to PV specifically to fish. I chose CALYPSO for a variety of reasons. ABSOLUTELY the right choice. Captain Ariel & 1st Mate Eric went above and beyond. We did the ten hour trip, looking for tuna and marlin. The weather was fantastic, which made for an easy trip outside the bay. Within ten minutes of putting the lines in, my son landed a huge sailfish! Longer than the boat is wide huge! This was soon followed by a large blue marlin strike, landing two more sail fish, several tuna strikes, and finally landing a small tuna! During all of this, Ariel and Eric kept the lines straight, the boat clean, answering all of our many questions (Ariel is bi-lingual, Eric speaks decent english), sharing the history of Puerto Vallarta...just amazing guest services. Not only did Eric surprise us with some delicious fresh ceviche, but he also processed our tuna, all while the boat was underway. Eric has some impressive knife skills! My son and I are already planning our return trip. Fishing with Captain Ariel and Eric on board the Calypso will now be an annual event for the two of us. What an incredible day! Thank you again, Captain Ariel and 1st mate Eric.
Alex Feldman5.0VerifiedTight lines!
6hr ONLY FISHING IN THE BAY (5pax) on September 26, 2024 • 3 adultsWe came into Puerto Vallarta for a family trip. I had researched this crew beforehand and they came through with a blast. Booked a 6 hour Bay trip, and being a little worried we would not be leaving the bay, they did not disappoint. Started off at 7am catching some skip jack for bait and enjoying the amazing view with the sunrise over the mountains. While it was quiet we had a great time with music, beers, and fresh ceviche the deckhand prepared. After some time passing we made our way deeper into the bay and captain Ariel spotted a Mahi which we targeted, later catching a mahi on live bait in that same location. While we took pictures with the mahi, captain hooked a huge Sailfish! What a fight. Teaching us through the fight we caught the sailfish and brought it aboard after 35-40 minutes. Such an adrenaline rush! Couldnt be happier with the trip and very accommodating crew! Thank you. I would recommend this charter to anyone and would love to go out with them again.

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.
