PV Hook Up Charters is one of the biggest and most respected names in the Banderas Bay. Offering fishing trips aboard a fleet of awesome vessels, and hitting some of the best big game fishing grounds in the country, these guys have what it takes to bring your fishing dreams to life.

The 28’ Bertram is one of the latest boats to join the PV family. This sportfisher was completely overhauled in 2016 and is now ready for action both inshore and offshore. The boat has plenty of covered and open deck space, as well as a comfortable interior with an enclosed head, a galley, and a cabin to rest after long fights above.

And you’re in for a fight, that’s for sure. The shallow waters of the Banderas Bay are full of a host of awesome gamefish that will put any angler through their paces. Roosterfish and Jack Crevalle top the list, but there are also Snook, Mackerel, Snapper, and much more.

Head offshore, and the action really gets going. Depending on the length of your trip, you could be visiting famous fishing grounds like El Faro, El Morro, La Corbetena, or even the hallowed waters of El Banco, almost 50 miles from town. Out here you’ll find Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin, as well as big Pacific Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Hammerhead Sharks. All that, plus some monster Snapper lurking in the depths!

No matter where you go, you can trust the PV Hook Up team to work tirelessly to make sure your trip goes smoothly. All their captains are highly experienced and their crews are some of the best in the business. As if that wasn’t enough, all PV Hook Up Charters trips come with live bait, lures, tournament-grade tackle, and a cleaning and filleting service for all your catch.

So what are you waiting for? Climb aboard and get ready to explore the depths of the Banderas Bay and beyond!

8 Hour Trip - Deep Sea Fishing

Good crew

VERIFIED

The crew was fun and friendly, it was nice having the cabin of the boat to go down into when it just got too hot, they put in a great effort, changing baits and lures, and finding structure to fish around.

6 Hour Trip - Inshore Fishing

8 hr inshore trip

VERIFIED

This crew is absolutely WONDERFUL, I’m a blue collar man so I understand hard work and dedication and these fellas work there butts off to get you onto some fish, If your booking a fishing charter because your passion is fishing, this is the one, if you want someone to hold your hand while you get drunk on complimentary beer look somewhere else, or maybe stay at the resort. I literally did not stop reeling in fish almost the whole time we were fishing. If your booking inshore get 8 hrs
