6 Hour Trip on March 19, 2025
What a wonderful adventure! I booked a 6 hour am charter with these guys last minute. Before our fishing date, i had a few questions. Our captain answered all questions in a very timely manner. Upon arrival, I could tell that we were in for a good time. Our captain and his son are multi generational fisherman local to the area with a wealth of knowledge. Our captain explained that the fish were out about 30 minutes away from Port and that we would be trolling once we got to the area. Within 10 minutes of fishing we were hooked up! While trolling we caught 10 large Jack Crevalle in just a few hours. You could instantly tell that these two fisherman knew exactly what they were doing. When nearing the end of our trip, our captain noticed flocks of birds diving and instantly knew that the skipjack tuna were biting. So we chased after the schools casting poppers and ended up catching 5 of them as well! The captain and his son are very accommodating (i had 2 pre-teen boys that asked a ton of questions) and they were not only patient, but very insightful! I'm already planning my next trip to Puerto Vallarta, and will absolutely be looking these guys up again! Thanks for the wonderful experience!

Ricardo was amazing. He is very knowledgeable and made our daughter's first trip very special. He went above and beyond. We caught a bunch of fish, Bonita, a barracudas, and a few big Jack crevalle or yellow jacks. Highly recommend Chimar charter. We had a blast. Thanks for a great day
