    Great crew working hard as a team.

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 1, 2026 • 4 adults

    The boat may be small with a single engine, but it was adequate for a family of 4. Captain Mitchell recommended changing from 4 hrs to 6 hrs, increasing our chance of catching Mahi-Mahi. We weren’t lucky enough, so we decided to head back, but on the last hour, Jorge, the first mate, asked us to give him 10 more minutes. He hooked us 20lb+ Jack Caravelle. It was an awesome last hour and a great ending to our trip. Captain Mitchell was kind enough to walk us (my sea-sick daughter)to a restaurant near the dock, making sure our family was all settled. Thanks, guys!

    great day

    8 Hour Trip on January 19, 2026 • 4 adults

    we lucked out with a overcast day, 29 deg in January. we booked an 8hr trip which included deep see, we wanted to catch a sailfish, mahi or rooster. we didnt get nay monsters, but that wasnt for lack of trying. captain Mitchell tried everything he knew, we had 6 lines out majority of the time. Caught 11 fish, skipjacks, spanish mackerel and trigger fish. all 4 guests reeled in fish. capt made us ceviche on the boat on the ride back to the marina with 2 of our tunas, amazing and so fresh. boat is great space for 4 with crew, plus the lower bathroom is a major plus for the ladies. 100% recommend. Mitchell and Tony were great and knowledgeable, price is fair. we were actually on the boat for 9.5hrs. mucho gracias.

    Best Ceviche ever!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on December 15, 2025 • 2 adults

    We had a great day with Mitchell and Jorge! Jorge worked hard and loves to fish. We got on fish soon after leaving the marina. Small, medium and large Bonita. One right after the other. Our friends had never fished before, and must have thought fishing was easy! This was a top 5 day on the water. We didn’t catch any Dorado today,but we saw whales and porpoises while we ate fresh ceviche and tosatadas on the way back home. Jorge prepared it beautifully, and it was the best ceviche ever! I will fish with them again.

    1st day inshore 2nd day offshore

    10 Hour Trip – Offshore on October 30, 2025 • 2 adults

    I went for six hours inshore hoping to catch a roster fish. We didn’t have any luck with the rosters as they were at the end of the season. We caught some skipjacks and had a delicious meal of ceviche on the boat. It was a great day. The second day I took my daughter and we went for a 10 hour offshore trip. We missed some yellow fin tuna and a Marlin. A sea lion did not help us out when we were on the Marlin which was disappointing. We caught a small Dorado and some more Skip Jacks. Had some more Ceviche. When we got back to the marina the fish were filleted and we took the fillets back to the resort we were staying at for supper. Mitch’s ceviche was better than the ceviche that the resort made us. Thanks for the wonderful trip and hope to go fishing with you again on our next trip.

    Fue una experiencia increíble.

    5 Hour Trip – Snorkel & Fishing on August 11, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Te llevan verdaderos pescadores, experimentados y amables, te ayudan en todo y garantizan que se diviertan niños y adultos. Pescamos un pez vela un ejemplar de 98', los niños disfrutaron y fue un gran viaje en familia. Los Capitanes Víctor y Jorge son grandes y responsables anfitriones, sin duda los buscaremos nuevamente.

    Puerta Vallarta fishing 🎣

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 13, 2026 • 4 adults

    It was a beautiful day for fishing but the fish were unfortunately still sleeping 😂 We had one bite that got loose and a small sardine 🐟 I was starting to worry the day would be a bust but Jorge was determined to get us at least one. At the end of the trip he was nice enough to stay out a little longer and we finally hooked a big one. You can't always predict the fish but they tried their hardest and we enjoyed our time.

    Crevalle Jack Battle in the Bay

    4 Hour Trip – Sunset on January 3, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    We were on an afternoon trip. Shortly after leaving the marina, we saw whales! After a long troll out, we ended up chilling in the middle of the bay with live bait on the rod. We ended up with a big Crevalle Jack on the hook and my 12 year old son took almost an hour to reel it in, all by himself! He was exhausted after the fight, his muscles were in full fatigue. What a memory for him, though. Thanks for the fantastic afternoon of fishing!

    Amazing Inshore Fishing Trip 5 ⭐

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 30, 2026 • 4 adults

    We booked a 4 hour inshore fishing trip. The captain and first mate were exceptional. The boat was very comfortable and the fishing expertise was secons to none. We caught 3 large Jack Crevalle! My boys and I had an amazing time. We will definitely book with them again.

    Good Times

    10 Hour Trip – Offshore on February 4, 2026 • 2 adults

    Booked a 10hr trip for myself and daughter looking to target Yellowfin and possibly a Mahi Mahi, It was obvious that Captain Mitchell and 1st mate Jorge definitely had the knowledge about the area, we went out to the area they call Corbetena but i. the way we trolled plus as we past the area called Piedra El Morro and hooked up ti a double header Wahoo but disappointed to loose them both, as we reached Corbentena and trolled past we hook up to a estimated Yellowfin and aftrr a 1hr + battle a massive Hammerhead estimated atvaround 600 lb 12-14', thought he needed a easy lunch for himself, although we had an awsome fishing experience it was well worth it, Thx again Mitchell and Jorge

Fishing Trip of a Lifetime! 10/10⭐️ would recommend
4 Hour Trip (AM) on December 13, 20252 adults

Jorge, Mich & Ivan were the very best! We did a 4hr trip and caught a nice Crevalle Jack! We came back for more the next day for a longer trip! They were all so helpful and made us feel at home on the boat. They are very knowledgeable and you can tell they love what they do. We caught lots of fish including more Crevalle Jack and Skipjack tuna, but the main star of the show was the incredible 9ft 9in Blue Marlin we landed! It was the fishing trip of a lifetime & an experience we will always treasure. Jorge made fresh ceviche with skipjack we caught and it was easily the best ceviche we have ever eaten!! Overall it was an amazing experience & we can't recommend these guys enough!

Great Morning!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on March 8, 20261 adult

First thing I'll say is, regardless of who you book, if they suggest an additional hour, do it. Mitchell told me that the fishing the day before wasn't great on the 4 hour tour and suggested extending to get out further and I am glad I did. We pulled in over 20 fish, mostly Bonita, a Skipjack and a Spanish Mackarel. I kept enough fish to feed my family and we only kept monsters. Whales were very active and there was lots to see and do between hits. I would 100% recommend booking this. A smaller boat, a great price and a great captain and crew. Can't wait for my next booking!
