    Bucket List Item - Checked!

    4 Hour Trip on August 11, 2026 • 5 adults

    Our autistic daughter has been dreaming of one thing for years - to catch our dinner on an ocean fishing trip. A few prior attempts did not go as hoped. This time was a hit - perfect fom start to finish! Making the reservation was easy and Captain Martin checked in right way. On fishing day, the taxi dropped us off at the wrong side of the harbour, but no problem - they came over and picked us up. Our skipper and first mate (Garcia and Ramon) knew what they were doing! They worked hard to find us a good fishing spot and our daughter checked off her bucket list item barely an hour into the trip - a huge sailfish, weighing probably 150 lbs! The crew immediately started cleaning the fish while also searching for more. The ceviche had to wait a few minutes while we reeled in a gorgeous mahi mahi. The ceviche was hands-down the best I have ever tasted. Of course, you can't get any fresher fish! We reeled in a second, even larger sailfish shortly after, but after the bragging-rights picture, we had it released. We already had more than enough fish for our use. We could not have asked for a better fishing trip, but it kept getting better! A couple of dolphins came to say hi, and we saw dozens of olive ridley sea turtles! Overall, an amazing experience and we will DEFINITELY book another trip with Cpt Brother's Boat.

    The jackfish tuna were biting. And great family trip!

    6 Hour Trip on January 7, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain and crew member were on time and we left promptly at 7am. It took us 45 minutes to get to the fishing grounds and then it was game on. I am a somewhat experienced angler but I was with another adult who never fished and his 13 year old daughter and 8 year old son. Crew was easy going, patient, and helpful and got us on the fish. I think we each caught 2 fish for a total of 8. For the kids, it was the first time catching a fish which was fun an exciting for them. Crew made homemade ceviche from the fish we caught and it was delicious. This was a 6 hour trip and I felt that was the perfect amount of time because we had children with us. No big game fish that day but it wasn't for lack of trying. I've fished on a lot of charter fishing boats and this was a great experience for myself, my friend, and his family. Thanks Captain brother. See u next year!

    Awesome fishing trip

    6 Hour Trip on December 31, 2025 • 4 adults

    We all had a terrific time fishing in Puerto Vallarta with our captains. We caught a Mahi Mahi, which was beautiful. We then caught a coulple of Jacks (i think), one nice sized one and then a few small ones. On the way to our first fishing stop we got to experice whale watching and even saw a few dolphines. I would like the say thank you once again for an amazing experience.

    4 Hour Trip on August 17, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Great trip, with super friendly crew. Sadly not the busiest fishing trip, but the crew never stippes working tontey and find fish to catch. The kids caught a few skipjack tuna and a small mako shark, so they were very happy. We definitely recommend and would come back again. thank you.
