If you’re coming from Vidanta the shuttle to get you to the cab stand didn’t start running until 7a, so we were late to the dock (7:30a).  Paradise Village Marina is a 15 min walk on the beach from Vidanta but the AM pickup location is on the north side of the marina inlet, which would be difficult or impossible to walk to from the south.  We were dropped off on the south side of the marina at the end of our trip.  The dock access on the south side drop off location is gated, however our crew had the key or combination to get us through the gates.  So if you’re coming from Vidanta, cab it in the morning, walk home on the beach in the afternoon. 
I specifically booked the 8hr Deep Sea so we could target marlin and sailfish.  We started jigging in 80 ft water on the north side of the bay.  We caught five, 15-20 lb., Pompano within the first two hours.  Since we had fish in the boat, we headed farther west, off the west coast of Punta de Mita and trolled for the big fish.  No luck trolling…but thats fishing.  We could have caught a boatload jigging but I wanted to go big.  Jorge made great ceviche on the boat.  Victor was an excellent captain.  It was good trip, I have no complaints.  I will book again when I return.

This is my second trip with my boys and this crew. After my son caught a 7 foot marlin last year we decided to make it an annual excursion when we are vacationing here for spring break. The boat is very comfortable, and this year my nephews also came so there were 5 of us. Cold beverages are provided, but I would recommend bringing some snacks. The crew works very hard to find and catch fish. It’s very impressive. On our way back to the marina, Jorge made us the most delicious ceviche with one of our catches. It was amazing! I highly recommend this fishing trip.

On my gosh!!!  Best deep sea fishing trip ever !! Had so much fun ! We caught so many kinds of fish and big one too!! It was a real lucky day thanks to Ernesto and David, They worked so hard to make us all have such a great time! We saw whales and even a sea turtle ! They spent two hours chopping up fresh fish and vegetables while the boat was rocking and made the cervachi so good ! Highly recommend this trip!! 600. Is a great price! for all personal attention they gave us, really nice boat !! My husband teases me for exaggerating but believe me I am not ! So much fun!

Fernando and his team Capt David and Ernesto know a lot about fishing, and their way of treating their guests like friends makes a good day fantastic!
It was an experience I will look forward to repeating for sure. We caught some serious fish, saw some amazing wildlife and they topped it off by making ceviche right there on the deck from one of our catch…talk about fresh and totally delish…washed down with some ice cold cervesas. If you love a great day on the water with great people these are the guys for you!!!
