Your vacation in Puerto Vallarta isn't complete until you've gone fishing with a local guide. Join Epi Gilligan Fishing for a day and see that these waters have lots to offer. Experience the excitement you can only get with big fish pulling your line and trying to break free. You don't need to be an experienced angler to land a few of these. The captain and the crew will adjust the trip to meet your needs and to help you level up your game.
You'll be fishing on a 27' Super panga that accommodates up to 5 guests. This center console is powered by twin 120 HP Yamaha engines that can reach the speed of 25 knots and get you to your fishing spot in no time. Save more time for fishing and having fun. To make your battles easier, the boat is equipped with a fighting chair, trolling gear, a live bait tank, and navigational electronics that will locate the schools of fish. And to make the trip more comfortable, there's a private toilet.
Target all kinds of reef and offshore species, such as Amberjack, Snapper, Roosterfish, Marlin, Tuna, Jack Crevalle, Sailfish, and many more. You get to keep most of the catch, so make the extra effort and treat yourself with a tasty feast after the trip.
The captain covers your fishing equipment and licenses. You'll need to pack your food, drinks, and sun protection. Kids are welcome to join as well, as all trips are family-friendly.

Had a great 8 hr charter today. Chuey was captain and Jorge was first mate. Both were great. No issues with English. Caught lots of fish. About a dozen skip jacks, Spanish mackerel, two large Jack crevelle, and lost a nice mahi mahi at the boat. They knew what they were doing. Both very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend you consider Epi Gilligan.

Our 2nd yr in a row and already planning a 3rd. Epi is very knowledgeable about fishing spots and helped us snag a 39cm jack caravelle as well as a smaller skipjack. Great communication and fun personalities for spending hrs on a boat together.

Went fishing with captain Epi and his crewmate Jorge they were both great and very knowledgeable. We trolled lures and live bait. We caught 2 toros and one bonita. Fish put up tough fights. Would DEFINITELY recommend Captain epi!

This was a great experience for our group of five boys ages 8-15 and a couple of dads and a grandpa. The crew was flexible, patient and encouraging. Great communicators as well and we had a few great catches!
We had a great time! Caught some big fish— would definitely book again!
Epi and sons did a great job of getting us out fishing. Tried many different things to catch fish.
This was our second time booking with Eli and there is a reason why! It’s always a great time fishing with the best company! They make sure you have a good time on the boat and you will ALWAYS catch a fish. We went in March which is during the “Spring” season, where sometimes it is harder to catch certain fish further out. However, we caught a 36 inch, 36lb Jack Crevalle, along with many Mackeral, a Skipjack, and a Bonita. The Crevalle was huge and we were so lucky to have caught it! As always, they made the very best ceviche on board for a snack, which is absolutely to die for!! As an additional plus, we asked for recommendations on a restaurant to take some of the fish that we caught. They helped direct us to a restaurant in the city and connected us with their friend to help cook the fish. So we caught the fish with the best fishermen in PV and then were able to eat the fish at an absolutely amazing restaurant! You can’t ask for a better experience. We cannot wait to do it again!!
Be sure you go out over the reef. This was a 6am 6-hour trip, and it took an hour to get to the reef where we had a solid 4-hours of catching while trolling. Note get the price cleared with the captain on fishingbooker before you go. They offered the option to go to the reef for an extra $80 us. Very fun trip for 4 fisherman. We had a lot of action. Had 3 times where we had 2 fish on the same line. Had one time where we had 4 lines hit at the same time. They had 6 lines trolling. Biggest fish was a 45 lb Jack. We had 3 great meals prepared from the best 40% of our catch. Gave the other the other 60% to orphanage
