Fishing in Nuevo Vallarta

Nuevo Vallarta stands as a premier fishing destination on Mexico's Pacific Coast, renowned for its exceptional year-round deep sea fishing opportunities. Anglers flock here to target trophy Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, and Sailfish in the legendary offshore grounds like El Banco and Corbetena, where world-class trolling techniques yield impressive results. The nutrient-rich waters also teem with Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, and Skipjack Tuna, providing explosive action for both seasoned and novice fishermen.

Beyond offshore adventures, Nuevo Vallarta's expansive bay offers phenomenal inshore fishing. Light tackle enthusiasts regularly hook powerful Roosterfish along rocky coastlines while Jack Crevalle and Spanish Mackerel patrol the inshore reefs. This diversity extends to bottom fishing species like Snapper and Grouper, ensuring varied experiences across half-day to multi-day charters.

Modern fleets equipped with Penn International tackle, live bait wells, and professional crews enhance every expedition. Charters include licenses, top-tier gear, and catch processing, allowing visitors to focus solely on the thrill of the hunt. With direct airport access and waters yielding record catches year-round, Nuevo Vallarta delivers an unparalleled bluewater fishing adventure in the heart of Mexico's Riviera Nayarit.
