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...

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

Im a boat owner & salmon fisherman of 20+ years from Canada. I came to Mexico for a holiday with the intention of catching some big game fish and this crew DID NOT disappoint. Captain Mario is young, energetic, and clever; all the qualities you’d want in a charter captain. He put us on the fish and put on a show in the process; guiding the boat and six rods set on the outriggers through two intense billfish bites. We landed a 200 pound Blue Marlin, and an 80 pound Sailfish. This crew is very... More

We booked the six hour tour fish, snorkel, beach.  The weather was great and the crew was super experienced.  The boat was very well maintained and stocked.  We basically relied on the crew for fishing advice as we are novice ocean fishing people.  They got on a school of rooster fish and we nailed three of them in the first ten minutes.  The crew constantly swapped out gear to maximize the potential to land fish.  We really enjoyed the boat ride and saw mantas jumping as well as humpbacks...
