Full day trip on Flipper 4

Full Day Trip1 adult

Captain and deck hand early and ready to go second I got there. Worked non stop trolling changing from artifical, to baits live and wrapped. Never got discouraged, and if you count the sizable skip jack I probably brought to the boat 15 fish. Boar tried to release all that could survive. At one point we had 3 on at once and they kept other two on until I could bring in one at a time. It's a good thing when you arms get tired. The best was fighting in a good size Mahi, heard probably only of the day from fleet - and then taking a filet of it to a restaurant in the Marina that the Captain recommended. They cooked it three ways and all were very good. Do yourself a favor and book this trip.

    Excellent crew

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    We booked an 8 hour deep sea fishing trip with three family members. The crew worked hard to find us the best chances. 3 longfin tuna and 1 jack cravalle into the boat. 2 marlin strikes. It was an excellent day. Well worth the trip.

    Reported Catch
    Jack Crevalle
    Yellowfin Tuna

    Caught loads

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    The guys worked non stop. Changing things up as we wanted for fish we wanted to catch and when things weren’t working. They put us on fish all day and caught bonito, jacks, and groupers. Was an absolute blast. They know what they were doing to help us catch big and lots of fish. Great fights. By the end of the day. Our arms were tired and beat up. But still had enough to lift cold beers at the end. We also saw tons of whales, dolphins, turtles and other wildlife. Highly recommended

    No pescamos nada

    3/4 Day Trip • 5 adults • 1 child

    El barco bien, el personal amable, pero después de 6 horas y media NO pescamos nada. Increíble! No fuimos ni a Mahahuita, ni a Yelapa, ni a los Arcos a snorkelear, hubiera estado mejor ir, al menos más dinámico para los niños. Estuvimos esperando pescar algo y nada. Al final bajamos 20 min a una playa virgen bonita, pero quedamos muy desilusionados, ya que era una actividad que estábamos esperando desde hace mucho tiempo.

    Great trip

    Snorkeling Mahahuitas-Yelapa • 2 adults

    We booked the Yelapa 6 hour fishing trip and it was a great experience. Miguel and his shipmate were very knowledgeable. We stopped at Yelapa and his shipmate walked us up to the waterfall and led us down to the restaurant which serves delicious food. We didn’t catch any fish but got to see some whales on the return home which was just as nice. The boat was clean and a comfortable ride. Miguel was very fluent in English. I would definitely recommend Miguel to anyone looking for a wonderful and safe fishing experience in Vallarta.
