Cpt. Brother's Boat
Cpt. Brother’s Boat specializes in bay fishing in the beautiful Bahía de Banderas, as well as offshore trolling off the coast of Nuevo Vallarta. Your Captain will take you on the adventure of a lifetime and put you on big game fish, no matter your level of experience. He’s been fishing these waters his entire life and knows all the best spots along the coast to give you an unforgettable experience.
Your journey will take place on a 28’ Nava center console, equipped with top-of-the-line electronics and fishing amenities. Her features include a flybridge, fighting chair, outriggers and downriggers, a wireless trolling motor, and a private toilet. She accommodates up to 8 guests and kids of all ages are welcome to join in on the action.
On 4 and 6-hour trips, you’ll be fishing the Bay of Flags (Bahía de Banderas) to target a plethora of species, including Roosterfish, Pacific Jack Crevalle, Cubera Snapper, Bonito, and more. On 8-hour trips, you’ll have the opportunity to go further offshore and troll for pelagics such as Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Swordfish, Mahi Mahi, and the list keeps going!
Capt. Ramon also offers snorkeling and fishing combo trips where you can do a bit of both. These trips are perfect for families with kids as they’ll have a chance to learn about the different species that congregate along the bottom of the ocean. Some exotic fish are present underneath these waters and make for perfect family photos if you have a GoPro.
State-of-the-art Shimano gear is provided on all trips and your fishing license is already included in the price. Your crew will offer to clean and fillet your fish and ingredients for ceviche are available along with your catch. Water and soda are provided on all trips, as well as beer on the 8-hour excursions.
Just pack some snacks, sunblock, a hat, and sunglasses and the rest will be taken care of. Book your trip today and let Cpt. Brother’s Boat take you on the adventure of a lifetime!

8 Hour Trip
100% effort and service
The guys put everything they had into catching our target fish. The targets didn't cooperate though. We did come out with a few skip jacks though. The guys went above and beyond with offer waters and beer, and make some amazing cevice and sashimi from our catch. At tge end of the trio they fileted our catch and bagged it up for us. 100% recommend!!

Put us on fish immediately
Great trip. Marcos and Philippe put us on big schools of bonita right away. We could have fished those all day casting from the busy but we wanted to troll for a bit. We caught some small Spanish mackerel on the troll. A nearby restaurant cooked them up for us and it was delicious. The guides also made some excellent fresh ceviche on the boat with our catch while we were fishing. 100% recommend!

Fun four- hr fishing experience
We had a great time. It was a short 4-hr trip...but we were busy most of the time. The crew did a great job, the boat and the equipment were good. We often go fishing when we get to the coast...next time I am in the Vallarta are, I am going out with this guys for an 8hr trip! Gracias amigos.

8 Hour Trip
No Sailfish but a Great Day!
We booked an 8 hour trip with hopes of catching a big sailfish or a marlin. Unfortunately we struck out but..... Communication was prompt and easy. We booked on line and met Martin, who was coordinating our trip, at the Paradise Village public pier. He even sent us a map. Martin introduced us to our captain and first-mate. Both named Philipe. We found out a little while later they are father and son. Once on board our panga boat, they made us feel welcomed and we headed out to sea. A short time later as we approached Marietas Islands, we stopped to watch a family of humpback whales. Then the lines went in. We trolled for a while caught a couple of smaller tuna then swapped to live bait and picked up a couple more tuna. In search of our sailfish we began dragging the lines again. Philipe crafted a delicious ceviche from one of the tuna then sat us down for a nice lunch and a cold beer. The day concluded with full bellies, 6 lines dragging in the water trying everything we could to catch a big one. But no luck. We had a great day on the water nonetheless. We caught 4 tuna, saw some whales, ate delicious fresh made ceviche and made some new family memories. Thank you! We'll have to try again soon!

Best fishing charter ever!
We had the most incredible time fishing with our guides! Three out of the four of us had been fishing multiple times with fairly extensive experience and this was hands-down one of the best fishing charters we've ever been on! We caught three tuna within 30 minutes And ultimately ended up catching about 13 tuna in six hours. The guys were great. I highly recommend for anyone from the experienced fisherman to an amateur.
