Your fishing vessel for the day is a luxurious 34' Riva cruiser, ideal for offshore excursions and deep sea fishing. This sportfisher is equipped with state-of-the-art navigational electronics, downriggers for trolling, and a fighting chair for those intense offshore battles.

    Epic Day

    Full Day Trip on February 2, 2023 • 6 adults

    Jose got us on the fish, the good stuff, & kept us right on em! Don't waste your money on the shiniest, newest, most expensive guys out there. These guys are pros and have all the boat/room/ equip to give you the charter of your dreams. This is the third time I've used them and it just keeps getting better. Probably came home with close to a hundred lbs of Mahi filleted out! Hopefully they don't raise the price on me now lol but I'd still think it was a bargain anyway. Can't thank you guys enough and am already planning next year!

    Full day trip with Captain Jose

    Full Day Trip on June 27, 2023 • 4 adults

    You will not find a more in tune Captain in the fishing world. This was my second trip with Captain Jose. Very few boats went out as the fishing was slow but our captain reassured us we will find fish. This was a senior trip for my son and some of his friends and boy it did not disappoint!! Take a look at the pictures they speak for themselves! Great boat, great captain, and great fishing. Make sure to inquire about the ceviche they will make with one of your fish for lunch!!

    3/4 Day Trip with Captain Jose

    3/4 Day Trip on August 7, 2023 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Our Captain and his First Mate did all possible for a great day out fishing. We did catch one skipjack tuna, which was skilfully prepared into ceviche, and that was indeed the highlight of the day. Unfortunately, the fishing gods were not smiling on us & the fishing trip turned into a Banderas Bay cruise. Facilities on the boat were well cared for & the gear was all well maintained. I’m sure another trip out, on another day may have been more successful but this crew did all they could.

    The Best

    3/4 Day Trip on December 30, 2022 • 2 adults

    Others in our resort said the fishing was bad this week. We killed it! 7 Bonita and 2 mackerel. The captain, Jose, is one helluva fisherman. Got us on the fish and had a great day. The boat layout is great and can’t wait to come fish with Jose again for the third time!

    Fishing with Jose

    3/4 Day Trip on February 9, 2021 • 2 adults

    A boat with plenty of room (real bathroom) and priced right! Captain Mike kept us on the fish all day. I think We finished with 26 Spanish Mackerel and Snapper in the live well you don't see. Second year in a row with these guys. Definitely recommend Mike & Phillipe to make your trip great!
