Overview

Hop aboard our panga-style fishing boat at Marina Vallarta for a 5-hour private fishing trip in Banderas Bay, designed for both first-time anglers and experienced fishermen. The captain and crew will take you to the day’s best fishing spots, set up your lines, and teach you techniques—from trolling to jigging—so all you have to worry about is having fun. Depending on the season, you might catch dorado, sailfish, roosterfish, horse mackerel, bonito, barrilete, pámpano, red snapper, or grouper. All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are included, so just bring your sense of adventure. Since this is a private tour, your group sets the pace: fish as long as you like, take photos with your catch, and enjoy the open sea and views of the coast. Our friendly crew makes sure everyone gets a chance to catch a fish. Your catch is cleaned and filleted so you can take it home or enjoy it fresh.
