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!

Cody LeesonRepeat angler
Quintana Roo, Mexico•Member since 2023•3 trips5.0VerifiedFun day of fishing and impromptu whale watching
6hr ONLY FISHING IN THE BAY (5pax) • 4 adultsCaptain 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.
Response from Charter operatorthanks amigo fornthe great review ,tightlines ans please share some pics !!!!!

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

What's biting with Calypso in Puerto Vallarta
With Striped Marlin joining the other behemoths being caught offshore, this is the best month for deep sea fishing in Puerto Vallarta. Add Tuna and Dorado to the mix, and you can't get better than this.
