Join Viento Negro / Travel Vallarta for a basic 4-hour fishing trip inside the beautiful Bay of Banderas.
This trip is perfect for families, beginners, and anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxed fishing experience without going too far offshore. You'll fish inside the bay using local techniques such as trolling, bottom fishing, spinning, jigging, and handline fishing, depending on the conditions of the day.
Your trip includes a captain and a first mate, who will do their best to help you catch fish such as Spanish Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, Roosterfish, Bonito, Snapper, or other local species depending on the season.
The boat has shade, ice, and water on board. If you catch fish, the crew can clean and prepare fresh sashimi on board for you to enjoy during the trip.
This is a simple and authentic local fishing experience in Puerto Vallarta, ideal for spending a few hours on the water and enjoying the bay.

A Great Puerto Vallarta Experience

Half Day Trip on August 14, 2023 • 1 adult • 1 child

My son and I had a wonderful time out at sea in Puerto Vallarta. Firstly, by the time we got to Puerto Iguana at about 6:30 AM for our 7 AM departure Captain Diego Garcia and crew were already there with the boat ready to go. They were very courteous, sociable and comfortable to work with. We caught a few fish which my wife was happy to prepare for us. My son was especially excited to land a couple, including a sizeable Jack. I will most certainly be looking to book with Viento Negro the next time I am in Puerto Vallarta.

Half day with Eli

Half Day Trip on January 24, 2023 • 1 adult

I had a good morning with my Captain Eli. Very personable and easy to talk with. Spent the morning trolling, unfortunately was not successful on fishing. We did see two different pods of whales.

The boat was not luxurious but certainly was a good sized fishing boat. A bit more bare bones but had what was needed. I was not looking for a luxurious experience as I was just wanting to get out. 

I did ask about spearfishing, and to be clear I am a complete novice. I have snorkelled but never speared. I  was told to bring my wet suit and everything else would be provided. From a gear perspective there was there was a spear but no snorkels or flippers. My captain after a quick discussion about my experience felt it was unsafe to let me just take a spear and go for it, which I appreciated his concern for my safety. 

It would have been more feasible if another instructor/free diver was also along to help me ID fish, safety, techniques, etc…. I feel like more questions prior to the trip would have helped in providing an experience spear fishing. I would have paid more for a second guy if that would have gotten me in the water. 

If you are booking for spearfishing just ask more questions. I can't complain about the quality of my Captain on the day, his concern for safety or the day of fishing we did do. 

I choose this charter for the daily rate. This was my first time fishing the ocean and using a charter so I have nothing to compare it too.
