Great trip!
Half Day Trip – Small Game Fishing on April 1, 2026 • 10 adults • 2 children

We took a 6 hour trip with 10 people and we all had a great time. We were on our port day on an NCL cruise and walked of the ship and took a taxi van to the other section of the Marina which was a 5 minute drive. We could have walked but were a little short on time. We caught 19 total, 1 Jack Caravelle, 1 Spanish Mackerel and 17 Bonito. The boat "La Cindy" was great with plenty of shade, seating and a decent bathroom. The crew made ceviche which was great and fileted two of the Bonito to take to one of the nearby restaurants. I would highly recommend this crew and boat while you are in PV.

Half Day Trip – Small Game Fishing on May 2, 2026 • 8 adults

We booked the 6 hour small fish tour in early May as a group bachelor party outing and had a great time out on the water. The catches we landed were so much more than what we had expected to get considering the season; we got two Crevalle Jacks, probably 20 Bonito, even a 4ft Rooster Fish. Miguel and Tony we're awesome too, they set a laid-back vibe and got us to some prime fishing spots. Nobody in the group were experienced ocean fisherman, so having some pros like those two was just what we needed.

Roosterfish

Puerto Vallarta deep sea fishing trip
10 hours fishing trip on March 12, 2026 • 2 adults

I chartered the whole La Cindy boat for a 10-hour day on the water in PV. This trip was epic for me. We caught fish throughout the day and the crew were very knowledgeable about what to use, where to fish and what technique would yield the most catch. They were very courteous and professional and on the ball. Their experience really paid off in catching yellowfin tuna. The mates were all about making this experience memorable and safe for us. It was nice to have the whole boat for just me and my son in law. This has been a bucket list wish of mine and through the help of fish finder to find Marty, the La Cindy and his crew made for a killer day making memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you to all for the great time! I highly recommend this team and vessel when heading out for a fishing trip in PV! Thanks again guys!!

FANTASTIC CREW!!!
Full Day Trip – Big Game Fishing on November 7, 2025 • 2 adults

Stop searching you found the right boat. not only was thr crew amazing but it's multigenerational family that has been working together and with the boat owner for 29 years. they were fantastic and ended up catching us a huge 110" marlin. (the only one of the day) fishing is fishing and not catching so it doesnt always go your way but it certainly did for us today! the crew made us feel comfortable and were fun to chat and hang out with. we also caught a huge mahi and they made fresh ceviche for us. I will not fish with anyone else in PV. they have a customer for life! book now or miss out on a fantastic experience with a crew that knows the bay for generations

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Blue Marlin
