Macarela is a 38’ custom Sportfisher operated by PV Hook Up Sportfishing Charters. Powered by brand new twin 315HP Cummins engines, this boat can accommodate up to 8 people. On board, you will find ample room for up to eight people to relax, along with a private bathroom as well as a bedroom below.

For fishing, the boat is equipped with 12 Shimano rods and reels that are rigged with fluorocarbon line. There are tuna tubes, outriggers and downriggers on board, as well as a live bait tank. A new fighting chair can also be found among the vessel’s fishing amenities. As for navigation, the Macarela is equipped with a standard range of marine electronics, including GPS, Fishfinder, radar as well as radio. 

The PV Hook Up team offer both bay and offshore fishing trips, depending on how much time you have on your hands. 4 and 6 hour trips give you plenty of time for some solid action inside the bay, whereas starting with an 8 hour trip, you can have enough time to venture far offshore in search of Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Dorado, Wahoo, and many other coveted big game species frequenting these waters.

Trips to all 3 of Puerto Vallarta’s famous fishing spots can be arranged - El Morro, Corbetena and El Banco are all accessible aboard the Macarela. All of these destinations have been associated with some of the best deep sea fishing around, year after year.

Unlike many other charters, when you fish with PV Hook up you can use both lures and live bait at no extra cost, and fishing licenses are supplied at no additional charge. There will also be a cooler filled with ice at your disposal.

If you would like to order food, PV Hook Up can offer lunch boxes at $14 USD per person. These must be pre-ordered at least 72 hrs prior to the charter. Lunches include soda, bottled water, a pastry, sandwich, chips, and granola bar. Extra drinks are available on request, and must also be booked at least 72 hours before the trip departs.

6 hour trip

Boat clean and in good repair. Crew friendly and knowledgeable. Boat handling very good for 38’. 5 mackerel in30 minutes. Nothing after. Sail lounging at surface. Tried casting but no interest in bait. Couple of quick strikes on poles but fish did not match on. Couple of skip jack schools but no bites. I think we were hungrier than the fish.

Fishing with Captain Cesar

We boarded early and set out immediately to fish. They say it is best early. We pulled in 10 Mackerels, and all four of us caught and reeled
The most exciting thing to happen were the large school of porpoise and the closeness Captain Cesar was to them as they played.
Then, whales came up right by the boat, and put on a great show for us.
The whole Trip was a very good event.

Bring your own food & cooler

The trip was okay, friendly staff but having to bring your own food was a pain. All of our family got sick but that’s not anyone’s fault.
