Spend an unforgettable day with Nachos II Charters! Captain Mario was born and raised here in Puerto Vallarta and knows these waters. These waters are his home. His top priority is your safety and having a memorable experience.

Modern and equipped 25’ local Super Panga is your ride for the day. The Nachos II has brand new 2020 Mercury engines and the boat is maintained at the highest standards. There’s enough room for 5 guests to join and fish in comfort.

Offshore and inshore fishing are Mario’s passion. He knows what’s biting and where. Live bait and top lures trolling. If fishing isn’t your only interest, why not set out and discover the underwater beauty of Los Arcos. This popular snorkeling spot is a quick ride on the Nachos II. Spend time wondering the surface and exploring the abundance of sea life the Vallarta bay offers.

After you’ve got your fill of swimming with the fishes, climb back aboard the Nachos II and head over to a remote beach and get boat taxied to the makeshift lunch café that awaits you (optional). Local cuisine, fish (you didn’t just photograph), and a couple of ice-cold cerveza.

If snorkeling or top game fishing doesn’t excite you, then perhaps whale watching does! You can’t swim with these big boys but they are surely majestic to watch.

Each trip on the Nachos II Charters can be customized to your adventure. Tell the captain how you want to spend the day and he’ll deliver. Explore together and get you back safe and secure. You deserve nothing less.

My father instilled fishing and boating family fun in my blood. I love the ocean and the freedom of having a boat and living each day to the fullest that life has brought to my family. My father, his father, and my brothers are all local fishermen.
