6hr Onlyfishing in the bay(5pax)
Booked a 6 hour trip with Calypso 1 and had a great time with the crew. Got a chance to see some whales and dolphins as well as catch a some fish. Crew was great and provided a fun time. Only draw back was having to pay an extra fee to go out to a fishing site that was further away eventhough it was still a six hour trip. It felt like we were being up sold a bit.

4hr ONLY FISHING IN THE BAY(5 PAX)
We got off to a late start because the boat was at a different dock than was my party, but once were underway, it was great, and the crew kept us out longer to make up for lost time. Eric and Alec were great guys who worked their butts off to make sure we caught fish. We had very little action in the first 90 minutes, so they changed their plan and took us to an area where they heard on the radio there was more action. All 4 of us landed at least one fish that was 30 lb or more, on a day when other groups returned to the docks without having caught a single fish. Eric and Alec were very patient and helpful to all of us, and it was just a terrific experience.

Captain Ariel's crew for our charter, Eric and Adrian, did an upstanding job in guiding us to the fishing spots around the point of Punta Mita and further north. They were clearly an experienced charter crew and diligent in getting the right bait and lures and we were successful in catching 3 fish including a large Dorado. We were very pleased with our trip and would recommend this crew to anyone seeking a charter. Thank you Ariel for ensuring we had a great day fishing.
