Remember what you are here to do, fish while having a great time with family and or friends. Its called fishing for a reason, else it would be called catching. Don't gripe about the sound of a diesel motor powering you along. Its the way it is for almost all boats out there. If that is an issue (as I have read in reviews) then perhaps you should go sailing. On a better note, bring sunscreen, hydration and food as you require as well as a positive attitude. It will be great.

Fishing is never a guaranteed, but this was the best trip I have had to date. I think the window of time I would prefer is no less than 6 hours.

Bring cash. $60-$90 for tips $50 for cleaning fish $40 for bait $50-$100 for anything else that may pop up Bring cold water and a snack in a small tote cooler. Determine ahead of time if youre willing to taxidermy the fish bc you will have to decide on the spot. You can negotiate a bit. ($2k for a 150lb marlin, 1.3k for a 4ft mahi- they break it up into 2 payments). i recommend saving up a bit for this. Bring lots of suncreen and have a good time!

I would look at a weather forecast and wind forecast. Pick a day that seems to look the best for you. Blue and pink jigs in the 80-100 gram weight work well for those that like to use artificial baits. Check your line frequently for abrasions. You will be fishing in very Rocky bottom areas. We lost several bait rigs because of the abrasions on our fishing line.

Yes, captain and deck hand were experienced and they knew where to go on the bay and how to fish for what we were interested in catching. You do not need to be an experienced fisherman to enjoy a trip in Banderas Bay.

I would definitely recommend going in October and November when the water is warmer. you have a better chance of catching big marlin and sailfish.
