    A Great Experience!

    6-hour trip on September 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an absolutely amazing time on our fishing charter with Alejandro and his first mate! From the moment we got on the boat, they made sure we were well taken care of and went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. They were incredibly knowledgeable and taught us about the different fish and what we were catching while we trolled. One of the highlights was having fresh, delicious ceviche made right on the boat from one of the fish we caught—it was incredible! By the end of the trip, we had caught 8 fish total, including 3 catch-and-release, and had an unforgettable day on the water. Alejandro and his first mate were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely made sure we had a great time. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing fishing experience, and we will absolutely be booking with them again on our next trip!

    Great Fishing Experience

    6-hour trip on September 6, 2026 • 3 adults

    Alexandra and Jesus did a great job taking care of us. They were super efficient and fun. They helped us catch quite a bit of fish, not the mahi we were hoping for, but plenty of good eating fish. They made ceviche out of the first fish caught and it was delicious. They worked hard for us keeping the lines full of bait and the guys excited about fishing. We would recommend them to anyone.

    6-hour trip on December 9, 2025 • 2 adults

    Fishing with Alejadro and Jesus was an amazing treat. he kept us on fish all day! I was so glad I chose the 6 hr trip as we had the biggest hits of the day in the last two hours. besides the countless biteoffs first thing in the morning. Alejandro made the best fresh ceviche with the mornings catch and was the best 50th birthday present from my wife made possible from my friends in Illinois! Thankfulky i now have his number and can work around his schedule to make it happen again. Thanks Alejandro and Jesus! see you soon!

    WOW! What a great day on the water!

    4 Hour Trip on November 5, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Alejandro and the first mate put us into the bite with fish into the boat within minutes after leaving the harbour, such an eventfull day. we caught fish, saw many sea turtles, and saw more skipjack tuna than I can count. I would recommend Sol y Mar fishing adventure to anyome thinking about a fishing excursion in Banderas bay. Really treated us lile family, and the early morning start was such a good idea to get out on noce calm waters. both guys that run the blat are amazing fisherman, friendly and knowledgeable. fantastic experience

    Great Time!

    8-hour trip on September 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    Although the fishing was slow, which definitely wasn't from a lack of effort from the crew to find the Big Fish we were looking for, we had a great time! The captain Alejandro makes excellent fresh Skipjack Cavici we caught. Ended the day landing a nice size Amberjack.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    4 Hour Trip on November 2, 2025 • 2 adults

    We had an amazing time with this fishing charter! The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable even those of us who don’t fish often. They took us to great spots, helped with everything from baiting hooks to reeling in some big catches, and made the whole experience fun and relaxing. You can tell they really love what they do. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great day on the water!

    8-hour trip on June 5, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Alex was amazing. He made sure we did a little bit of everything: trolling, jigging. He went to multiple different spots and caught different species. He made sure we were having a good time. I will definitely book next time I’m in Vallarta!

    Great Captain and First Mate

    4 Hour Trip on October 25, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a great trip and the captain made us very comfortable. My husband was very nervous and the Capt. joked and spoke with him and kept us wothin 2 - 2 1/2 miles of the shore. The veiw was amazing and we caught 10-12 mackerel. We were going to keep them but decided that we didnt want them so the we gave them to the crew who kept them and released the some.

Capt. Alejandro runs trips out of Puerto Vallarta aboard a 27' Panga. These waters are known for Marlin and Sailfish and he will show you how to catch them. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
