Captain Ariel has been on a boat and on the water all his life but has only been in the charter business for 12 years. His passion comes from seeing a passenger on his boat with a big fat smile when they got that nice fish on board and showing everybody the beauty of Banderas Bay – Captain Ariel's backyard. This makes him the happiest person alive!

    Fun day of fishing and impromptu whale watching

    6hr ONLY FISHING IN THE BAY (5pax) • 4 adults

    Captain Ariel was easy to communicate with before arriving, knowing what we needed and dealing with port fees etc. On the day of the trip, we went with Hector and Fernando and they were great hosts and guides. We ended up catching 28 Bonita, only losing a few (our error), including one much larger fish(unseen). After an onslaught of fishing we pivoted to seeing some whales and dolphins for a while, before finishing the day with a little more slow fishing. Captain and crew were great. Would book again.

    Great fishing trip!

    6hr Onlyfishing in the bay(5pax) • 4 adults

    Luis and Angel were awesome. My son and two brothers caught nice fish. I pulled a 50# Jack Crevelle, but it snapped the lone as we were bringing it into the boat. As our time was up they cleaned our fish, and we headed back. Luis saw a school of fish and cranked the boat over, grabbed a rod and bait. Determined to make sure we all got a fish. Luis did a super hero cast. I hooked a huge Jack. We all came back with a fish. Ill be booking with them again!

    Reported catch:
    Jack Crevalle
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)
    Skipjack Tuna

    We spent the day fishing in the bay with Memo and Hector! Both worked very hard to get us on the fish and we were successful! Had a great time and would absolutely use Calypso fishing again in the future.

What's biting with Calypso in Puerto Vallarta

Offshore fishing remains incredibly good, although, as with September, anglers need to be aware of the risk of cancellations due to tropical storms. Well, you can't have everything!
