Lucina III Fishing Charters & Tours 

An amazing day on the water-- 5 adults and 5 kids. From the moment we boarded, the captain and crew made everyone feel welcome — they were communicative from the time we booked till time we got back to the marina. We were on fish almost the entire time, pulling in skipjack tuna one after another. The kids were thrilled. The snorkeling was great — safe, clear, and well-organized. The crew clearly knows these waters. The cherry on top? They made fresh ceviche from our catch right on the boat. Absolutely incredible. Kid-friendly, safe, action-packed, and genuinely fun from start to finish. We'll 100% be booking again.

If we could rate Alfredo a sixth star, we would. He and his crew are top-notch. We speak very (and I mean very) little Spanish, but Alfredo and his crew were kind enough to communicate with us the whole time in English - Gracias! We spent quite a bit of time researching boats for our fishing trip and went with Alfredo because of the great reviews. We are extremely happy we did! Alfredo's communication with me was prompt and thorough. We arranged (for a small fee disclosed up front) to be picked up and dropped off in Punta Mita. I read that others recommended that you bring snacks if you're going out for an 8-hour day. Since we had a quick turnaround from arriving in Mexico to our charter, I asked Alfredo if he could help out. Alfredo arranged sandwiches and extra fruit...both super yummy! Also, the homemade guacamole and ceviche made with our fresh catch were the best we had during our entire time in Punta de Mita. So good! Now to the fishing... Alfredo and his crew hustled. If we weren't catching, he was moving us quickly to another spot. I lost count of the number of bonita we pulled in (often two or three on a line); we also caught 3 or 4 skipjack, a Spanish mackerel, and an Amberjack. Since we were staying at a hotel, we gave all but a filet of the Amberjack away. They were kind enough to call a restaurant at the harbor for us, which agreed to cook our catch for us when we got back to shore. Delicious!!

A group of 8 of us went down to Puerto Vallarta for a bachelors trip and this fishing charter was the main event. We ended up going with the 6 hour inshore fishing tour and it was the best money we spent on the trip. The captain has over 40 years of experience on the water and his adult son is apart of the crew; great to support the family business. They both and the additionally crew member were very friendly and informative, the boat was easy to find and start the day, and they did so much work to ensure we were constantly ready to catch the next fish. Additionally, the meal/snack they prepared with the freshly caught Skipjack tuna was delicious; the best food we had on our trip!! We ended the day with each person catching at least one 20+ inch jack fish, a Jack Crevalle, and even catching a trophy fish - a 91 inch Sailfish. The only thing I would recommend is knowing a bit of Spanish as it would make communicating much easier but even if you just speak English these guys will have you catching fish in no time!

It was great to have nephews and son and brother n law, and extended family members on boat. We got to see how to catch bait fish and then from baitfish the bigger fish. We caught two small fish and a decent size red snapper. The only downside was not being informed prior to trip that there was a marina excise tax. It should be broken down when trip is being booked. I thought that was kind of shady. The only other thing would be to notify in booking that sea’s can be choppy/turbulent and to take sea sick medicine if necessary. Luckily no one got sick. Overall the trip was a blessing, they had nice amenities such as bathroom and covered area’s to keep one out of intense sunlight

They were dialed into the fish from the start. we caught bonita, albacore, jack crevale, and topped it off with a 114 inch Blue Marlin! A fish of a lifetime for us! Roberto and the Captain made it fun for all 6 of us by not only catching fish but sharing thier knowledge and laughs. best charter we have ever booked in PV. Do at least the 8 hr trip. Ceviche was incredible also! thanks again!
