Rooster fish and sandy beach lunch. 03/22/2026
3/4 Day Trip on March 22, 20264 adults
I want to start off by saying PV is 100% safe the news has made a big deal about a few burned cars and Oxos it is total safe. We had a great day, I told Captain Monty I wanted to catch Rooster fish and that is exactly what happened. After catching some fish we went and ate at a sandy beach restaurant where they cooked a fish we caught and made sashimi with it as well. Every one knew monty and treated us like royalty. Captain Monty then took us to a snorkeling spot and we saw thousands of fish including two spoted eagle rays that stayed around for a few minutes so we could enjoy how beautiful they were. This is our second trip with captain Monty so dont hesitate to book a trip. I know I will be going out with him again.
Reported catch:

Trip too short?
Extended Day Trip on May 30, 20264 adults
We booked a 10 hour trip. But apparently we didn't go far enough to catch fish. Not sure what else I could've done but would've appreciated going further out to where the fish were. Great captain great boat great deck hand. Maybe just a bad decision for that day. If you wanna fish Puerto Vallarta, you gotta go way way out.

Arm burning Tuna and wildlife
Extended Day Trip on March 8, 20264 adults
The boat was extremely clean, a nice ride and comfortable to fish in. The captin and crew put us on Yellow fin tuna that make your arms burn. We were the only boat catching fish and they were nice sized 70lbs. We saw a bunch of whales, dolphins and a ton of birds that the captin would point out and knew the names of.
Reported catch:
