Sol Y Mar
Ready to catch some fish in Puerto Vallarta? Then Sol Y Mar has a trip with your name on it!
These waters are known for Bonito, Jack Crevalle, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, White Marlin, Roosterfish, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. Capt. Alejandro also offers kite fishing.
You’ll be welcome aboard a 27’ Hatteras Panga that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods and reels are supplied for you. Be sure to ask about bait and lures as well.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
It’s always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Sol y Mar is just a click away.

WOW! What a great day on the water!
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

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
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!

Perfect day!
Our trip was amazing! We caught 3 huge Jacks and a Triple tail. The Captain Alejandro and first mate Jesus were incredibly helpful and patient. They were an efficient team, well-organized and skilled at catching fish as well as teaching us proper technique. They had drinks and ice on the boat for us. Captain Alejandro cleaned the triple tail for us and we got to take some filets to a local restaurant to eat. So good! I highly recommend this crew and boat.

Great Fishing Experience
Captain and crew were very helpful. We got straight on the boat and away we went. We caught some Jack right off the bat and they made ceviche with the first fish. It was very delicious and as fresh as fresh could be. We went a bit deeper out and caught a Rooster fish that was very cool. All in all, a great trip, very personable, professional and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
