Burton Fishing, and particularly Mario and Luis, delivered a great experience…my first off-shore fishing trip. Regrettably, the fish decided to stay largely away that day - and not just for us apparently - and I lost a big, beautiful dorado at the boat. I didn’t go home skunked though and was able to provide for dinner that evening. The guides did an excellent job, were very helpful throughout, patient with a novice, and simply wanted to be sure that I had a most enjoyable time. I learned... More

We had an excellent time with Cpt Mario!  Not only was it our group’s first time in Puerto Vallarta, but also our first time fishing off a boat in open water.  Cpt Mario had basically everything we needed other than whatever drinks/snacks we wanted to bring.  He helped us set up the rods to catch live bait, and then further set up the larger rigs to use the live bait on.  We hooked a huge sailfish that gave a huge jumping fight, but it got away while reeling in.  We landed several Skipjack...

Had an exciting time between my wife and I we caught and kept 16 Bonita,( average 10#s each), hooked but lost over 10, catch but released over 10 skip jack. Captain was great, respectful, polite, eager to please, and very knowledgeable on the water as a guide! Thanks for a great day as we are celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. Will highly recommend these guys to all our friends! AAA +!

we had a terrific time from reservation to followup prior to the trip and the morning of our excursion.  there were 3 of us and only my 10 year old grandson landed a fish.  noticed other boats not catching fish either.  the bay was calm and we had great time but hope to land some fish next time.  i did bring anfish to the boat but it wrapped around propeller and we had to cut line.

Bottom line…no pun intended, if Capt. Mario is on the bapt w/ 1st hand Alex…BIG fish are about to be a reality…this is my 2nd and 3rd trip with them…its almost like what they know what they are doing cause from my view they dont miss…we will be coming back again in Dec 27 for round 4,5,&6. Seriously, one of the best Captains I have run across…his vibe and passion for this show, it can be felt as you get on the boat. Capt. Mario works as hard as his deck hand and goes above and... More
