There’s a fish with your name on it in Puerto Vallarta and Carrillo Team will help you catch it! Captain Chema will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of professional experience.

These waters are known for Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Yellowfin Tuna, Roosterfish, Wahoo, Cubera Snapper, Amberjack, Jack Crevalle, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few!

You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

The fish caught are yours to take home, so long as they meet regulations. Capt. Chema can even clean your catch for you. Now that’s dinner!

Capt. Chema operates a 29’ Nava center console with a capacity for 4 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Chema will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to assist you and make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10%–20% tip at the end of the day is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don’t leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Member since January 2019
A local to Puerto Vallarta, Captain Chema has spent his whole life on the water. Having fished the Bay of Banderas and the Pacific Ocean since childhood, he decided, in 2012, to become a captain and make a profession out of his passion. The Carillo Team has grown to a fleet of 2 in the time since then, and Captain Kiko may take some trips. Both have an excellent command of English, along with the first mates.
