Huge Blue Marlin
We went on a 13 hour trip and caught a massive blue marlin 5 minutes after dropping the lines. We had an absolutely great time. There was great music and lots of laughs. Definitely recommend and we will be back again. Highly highly recommend

great time with Alejandro and his 1st mate!
We had a great 5-hour trip in and around the bay with Capitan Alejandro and his son. we ended up catching three different types of fish, skipjack tuna, jack cervella, and bonito. 6 fish in total!! We got skunked by the Marlin, Sailfish, and barracuda we were looking for. They made us cerviche out of our first skipjack tuna and it was a gret time highly recommended!! 100% will book again ________________________ Disfrutamos de una excelente excursión de 5 horas por la bahía y sus alrededores con el capitán Alejandro y su hijo. Logramos capturar tres tipos de peces diferentes: atún listado, jurel y bonito. ¡¡6 peces en total!! No tuvimos suerte con el marlín, el pez vela ni la barracuda, que eran los que buscábamos. Nos prepararon un ceviche con el primer atún listado que pescamos; ¡fue una experiencia fantástica, totalmente recomendable! Sin duda, volveremos a reservar.

This was our second time in 9 months going out with this crew , and like the first time it was amazing. The crew was professional and provided an outstanding day of fishing. We caught 8 tuna, 1 large fish that i cant recall and almost a sail fish but it broke off, but not before giving us a show. We will definitely be coming back and booking tbe ITZU again.

great trip will be back
we had a great trip caught sailfish and mahi mahi didn’t catch a lot fish but the ones we did get were a lot of fun the captin and first mate were great working very hard to catch something water was very rough 3 to 4 ft swell. Their price was very reasonably far cheaper than the resort price, I would recommend taking the 8 hr trip you get to go out and play were yhe big boys playI highly recommended the captain and crew we had thw boat to ourselves didn’t have to share.

Caught a 7.5 ft sailfish!
This crew was phenomenal. We started off the day catching 4 toro, then finished off the day with a MASSIVE 89” sailfish. It was the biggest fish I’d ever seen caught. Afterwards they fileted the fish and we took the meat home. They offered to taxidermy it, but we chose not to.

Three Sailfish and a Mahi-Mahi on Calm S
It was a fantastic day; the sea was very calm. We saw dolphins and turtles, hooked a mahi-mahi, then hooked a sailfish, and later another sailfish took the bait—in total, we managed to hook three sailfish and one mahi-mahi.

Marlin, Sailfish, and Tuna... Oh my!
It was an awesome trip! The capitan and crew were great. They accomodated our needs, and I actually liked how they kinda just matched our energy. We're a little more subdued generally, but got really excited during the catches- this boat matched that. Vibe-wise, it was all we wanted out of a boat apitan and crew. During our 12-hour day we started hot in the first hour and caught two tunas (Albacore and Yellowfin), but went 8 hours or so without anything. This Capitan/Crew knew what they were doing though, we followed the seabirds, dolphins, and hunted fish around Sea Stacks all day trying for something. In the last hour we hooked a black-sailfish (that escaped last second) and an 8-foot long striped marlin! Absolutely UNREAL fishing day. We booked our trip a few months in advance, and this team didn't disappoint. You can't always win for sure, but these guys did everything possible to make our trip happen the way we wanted, and it was well worth it!

An unforgettable day on the water! My husband and I had an amazing time on our fishing charter in Puerto Vallarta! We caught a bunch of fish, and the crew made the whole day so much fun. The highlight was having fresh ceviche right on the boat, made with the fish we had just caught. It doesn’t get any fresher or more delicious than that! They even fileted and packed up some of our catch so we could cook it that night, which was such a thoughtful touch and let us enjoy our day on the water all over again at dinner. If you’re looking for a fishing charter in Puerto Vallarta, we can’t recommend this one enough. We will book again in a heartbeat!

Sailfish
21 days agoExactly what we were looking for. We were trolling for sailfish; after an hour and a half, a fish took the bait—it jumped and spat the bait out. Knowing they were there, we kept fishing, and after a while, two more fish took the bait. One got away, but we managed to land the other: a good-sized Pacific sailfish.

What an unforgettable 12-hour fishing trip! My girlfriend and I had an absolute blast and caught seven fish, including two sailfish, two yellowfin tuna, a skipjack tuna, a horse-eye jack, and one other fish! The boat was fantastic, comfortable, and had plenty of shade to keep us out of the hot sun throughout the day. Captain Jorge and First Mate Angel were absolutely amazing! They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and worked incredibly hard to make sure we had a great experience. Their dedication and hospitality made an already exciting fishing trip truly unforgettable. This was easily one of the highlights of our Puerto Vallarta vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a more memorable day on the water. Highly recommend Captain Jorge and Angel to anyone looking for an incredible deep-sea fishing experience! I will definitely be coming back!
