When he was a child, Capt. Pedro lived in San Blas Nayarit. His father was also a fisherman. Due to a difficult life, Capt. Pedro's mother brought them to the beautiful port of Vallarta. They changed jobs several times but in the end, the captain and his brother fell in love with the sea. With the efforts and help of their beautiful mother, they made the boats they have today. Capt. Pedro has worked from small boats to huge yachts and ships from the beginning as a simple sailor to where he is today. An experienced captain who can sail with and without equipment and who has wide experience in catching fish weighing from 30 to 250 kilos.

    Pesca por la bahia • 8 adults

    We had an incredible time fishing the bay with this crew. Seven of us consistently caught a variety throughout our trip, some keepers and many throwbacks. Even after a successful trip, with only 10 minutes to go on the clock and while making our way back to the Marina, the captain spotted a dorado and went into action. We ended up bringing in our best catch of the day on that one thanks to the crew’s willingness to go above and beyond. They also kept every line on the boat out in the water, so you had nonstop action and often multiple hits happening simultaneously. Highly recommend this crew for a great fishing experience.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Bonito

    Captian insisted on cash

    8 Hour Trip • 8 adults • 1 child

    When we finished our trip and went to pay the captian wanted cash. The website said you can pay with credit card. The mate took me to an ATM which charged me $85 USD to get the money. I would have had the cash but the website said we could use a credit card. Who wants to walk around in Mexico with $1000.00 USD in their pocket.

    Response from Captain

    We sincerely apologize; we had some issues with the terminal, which is why we offered to take it to the ATM. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and have already updated the page. While we fix the terminal, we wish you a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

What's biting with Yolaray 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.
