Puerto Vallarta, JA, Mexico

Book your next offshore adventure with PV Sail Fishing & Tours and get ready to discover the world-famous fishing grounds of Puerto Vallarta! Your captain will take you fishing in the Bahía de Banderas (Bay of Flags) and further out into the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean to target giant pelagic species.

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. She also comes with tuna tubes, a live bait tank, safety gear, and top-quality fishing tackle.

You’ll have a flybridge to enjoy the beautiful view of the coast, a spacious cabin with a private head, kitchen, lounge area, a bed, and a large deck that accommodates up to 6 guests. Children ages 5 and older are welcome aboard and life vests are provided for them as well.

On half-day trips, you’ll be fishing 5–10 miles from the coast, targeting species such as Jack Crevalle, Yellowtail Amberjack, and Wahoo. On longer trips, you’ll venture up to 20 miles from the shore to target Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and other offshore pelagics.

Snorkeling is also available and the equipment is included in the price. You’ll be diving into 20’ deep water to explore beautiful reefs and get a closer look at some of the incredible species that feed off the bottom of the ocean floor. 

Top-of-the-line Penn fishing gear is provided on all trips, as well as live bait and lures. Your license is also included, so you can just come straight down to the lighthouse in the marina and the rest will be taken care of. Your crew will also offer to clean your catch at the end of your trip, so you can take it home to enjoy a delicious meal with the family!

All you need to bring with you are snacks, drinks, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, and get ready for an awesome experience with PV Sail Fishing & Tours in Puerto Vallarta!

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!

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!!

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.

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!
