    8 hr trip

    Full Day Trip on September 9, 2023 • 2 adults

    Captain Bracamontes and Eduardo definitely treated us respectfully and professionally. We caught these monsters in 15 minutes of starting fishing. The crew tried to honor our wishes and tried everything in order to catch and release these sailfish. Unfortunately due to the hook placement we had to keep them. They took us to a restaurant where they cooked our fish and took us sight seeing and snorkeling. 100% recommend this trip!

    Great Day for Dorado

    Half Day Trip on October 30, 2023 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Caught several Bonita on the way out to Punta de Mita. Shortly after began reeling in some nice Dorado’s. We caught 6-7 on our 4 hour trip. The Captain and Poncho know how to find fish! Fish were fillet and bagged before we docked at Paradise pier. Perfect day for fishing. Steve R - Oklahoma

    Fishing with Guillermo

    Full Day Trip on March 15, 2022 • 2 adults

    Although fishing was tuff on this particular day, the skipper and crew tried hard to find the fish for us. we caught a nice skipjack tuna and took it back to our hotel and had them cook it...if you don't fancy the dark meat of the skipjack tuna, do not let it put you off as it is delightful.

    Not a lot of fish, but still a good experience

    Half Day Trip on July 28, 2021 • 2 adults • 1 child

    The guys did a great job trying to find the fish. We only caught a few, but still enjoyed the boat, staff, and scenery. It’s not the height of fishing season here, so I was happy that we were able to bring in dinner! Very friendly staff.

    A great day in my life!!!

    Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on January 11, 2024 • 3 adults

    At 81 years old I had my son and son in law on our first deep sea fishing trip here in nuevo vallarta and caught around 18 fish keeping 10 for ceviche and BBQ fish. It was such a great day to have the three of us together. Thanks to the crew for an awesome day.

    Half day trip with Captain Jimmy

    Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on March 19, 2022 • 6 adults • 2 children

    My family went out on an afternoon fishing trip With Jimmy and his crew hand. We had several hookups , but only landed one large amberjack. These two, went out of the way to show us a great time. We are a family of anglers and could not have been treated any better.
