  5 hour PV fishing.

  5 Hours Fishing Inshore/ Nearshore on April 21, 2026 • 4 adults

  We did the 5 hour tour just hoping to catch whatever. The boat was easy to find and the captain wasn’t there but pointed us to his crew. Irvin and Chino were very good guys and tried extremely hard to get us on the fish. The bite was slow at first but they kept trying and we eventually caught some skipjack tunas late in the day. They cut up one and made some delicious ceviche on board which was great and we all enjoyed. They then were nice enough to drop us off at a marina closer to our hotel so we didn’t have to taxi as far back which was so nice of them and they didn’t have to do it! All in all would have loved to catch a few more desirable fish species but they definitely tried and they just weren’t biting. Glad to have at least caught something and the crew, boat, and day out of the water was great! Thank you!

  Thank you so much for your detailed review, Mitch! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that Irvin and Chino took great care of you and kept working hard to get you on the fish, even with a slow bite—that’s fishing sometimes, but we never stop trying! Awesome that you were able to land some skipjack tuna and enjoy fresh ceviche right on board, that’s always a highlight. We’re also happy you appreciated the extra effort to drop you off closer to your hotel—that’s the kind of service we always aim to provide. Next time, we’ll do our best to get you on some of those bigger, more desirable species! Thanks again for trusting us and we hope to have you back out on the water soon. Tight lines! 🎣

  Yelapa beach and fishing!

  Yelapa Combo Tour Fishing, Snorkel. on February 18, 2026 • 6 adults

  We had an excellent day with the crew of the Itzu today! We booked a combo 8hr fishing/Yelapa trip. We were 3 adults and our day consisted of fishing in the morning, going to Yelapa - waterfall hike (easy), drinks at the waterfall and then to the beach for lunch and relaxation. We choose not to snorkel and instead used that time to fish a little more in the a.m. Our Captain, Tuky and the first mate, Chuy were excellent hosts and guides. We managed to catch quite a few slip jacks and a Benito during our fishing portion ( we kept 2 that they filleted for us) and had an amazing whale watching experience that was incredible! The Itzu is very well equipped and in tip-top shape. Our visit to Yelapa was lots of fun and the meals we had at the beach restaurant were fantastic (one of our better meals in PV!) We would highly recommend this trip as it was laid back and well worth it!

  Wonderful family outing with a 12 and 15 year olds. captain and mate were very experienced and made sure everyone was having a great time. boat and equipment was top of the line in excellent conditions. crew worked hard to get lots of fish during our 4 hour outing. would highly recommend this boat for short family outings or for serious anglers looking for full outings. ceviche was prepared on the boat - was delicious!

  Epic Adventure

  5 Hours Fishing Inshore/ Nearshore on November 11, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We are from salem Oregon and have never been to Mexico before. Jordan was an amazing and professional blessing! He took the best care of us in what could have been stressful and unknown. Alberto and Chino were the best people to be around and the 3 of us that went with them had the best time ever! the boat was amazing, the atmosphere was incredible and while the fishing was slow on our day, we still did much better than other boats. we did a 5 hour trip and still hooked 3 mahi mahi and lots of Bonita, I cannot wait to book my next trip! Thank you Itzu Fishing!

  Such a great trip!

  3 / 4 Day Fishing Inshore / Offshor on December 22, 2025 • 4 adults

  Jordan’s nephews took us (a group of 4) out on a 6hr fishing trip in the bay. We left the marina at 7AM and fished the bay for 6 hours. We caught a small grouper, a small tuna and 5 mahi mahi!!! SO much fun to fight and reel in! The crew were obviously very experienced, knowledgable and fun. They filleted the mahi mahi for us and made ceviche on board - so fresh and delicious!! The boat was also immaculate! They even arranged for sea tutrles and whales to show up - a great touch ;) It really was a wonderful day, thank you all so much!
