Visit La Cruz Marina and experience some of the most productive fishing in Mexico with PV Hook Up! The team is made up of a group of friends, gathered around the mission of showing everyone how amazing fishing these beautiful waters is.

You’ll head out on – a 38 ft offshore sportfishing boat. Powered by brand new twin 350 HP Cummins engines, On board, you will find enough to relax, along with a private bathroom as well as a bedroom below.

The crew will provide you with Shimano rods and reels rigged with fluorocarbon line. There are tuna tubes and outriggers on board, as well as a live bait tank. There’s snorkeling equipment available on request if you want to experience the rich underwater world first-hand.

The PV Hook Up team offers both bay and offshore fishing trips, depending on how much time you have on your hands. Five-hour trips give you plenty of time for some solid action inside the bay. On an 11-hour trip, you can have enough time to venture outside the bay.

Join PV Hook Up and see for yourself why the waters out of La Cruz are some of the best fishing grounds!

Half Day Trip on April 16, 2025

We had a great time with captain Cesar and crew. Caught 40+ bonita in a few hours. Only thing that threw me off was that the crew pulled me aside and said “are you happy? Well you need to tip me and all my crew to make us happy too” …. Kind of off-putting.
