Nuevo Vallarta Fishing is based on the west coast of Mexico, on the shore of the famous Bahia de Banderas Bay. Depending on what is most convenient for their customers, they can depart from either Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta, both of which are within easy reach of a host of tourism facilities and are just minutes drive from the Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport. They offer bay fishing and offshore trips, as well as snorkeling trips and guided tours.

Their three Panga boats all measure between 26 and 28 ft and are powered by two 60 HP mercury engines. They are equipped with VHF radios. The boats can accommodate up to six anglers and they feature a live bait tank, a portable toilet, and an ice box. They are also equipped with outriggers and snorkeling equipment.

Nuevo Vallarta Fishing specializes in deep sea fishing, bottom fishing, light tackle fishing, and jigging, and they use Penn International tackle. They offer half day, three quarter day, and full day trips, and mainly fish for Jack Crevalle, Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and Marlin, depending on the season and the conditions on the day.

All rods, reels and terminal tackle are included in the price, as is bait, lures, and ice. The local English speaking crew will also clean and fillet your catch for you at the end of the trip so you can enjoy a tasty meal at one of the many local restaurants.

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!

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

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 (PM) on March 19, 2022

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.

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.
