Luxury Boat Fishing

This is a sport fishing trip on a 46-foot boat out of Puerto Vallarta, with a captain and a bilingual sailor. The outing lasts about 360 minutes, and the operator describes its fleet as the best and largest in Puerto Vallarta, with experienced captains and fully equipped boats that also reach good diving spots in the area.

Banderas Bay is recognized worldwide for its marlin, sailfish, and yellowfin and goldfin tuna, and the operator says anglers travel long distances to try the deep-sea fishing here. For larger catches, trips go toward the Marietas Islands, El Morro and El Faro, while for the biggest fish the operator offers trips to the waters of Corbetena and El Banco. Ask which area is planned for your day.

The boat carries up to 18 passengers, though the operator suggests 8 to 10 fishermen. It has two General Motors Detroit engines of 400 HP each and a speed of 18 knots. Fishing gear is provided: live bait, hooks, GPS and Penn International rods, along with fishing licenses.

Food and drink are partly covered. You get ice and bottled water, light snacks, 3 beers per person and a fridge to keep your own food and drinks cold. Snorkeling equipment, safety equipment and civil liability insurance for all people are also included.

The trip suits travelers with at least a moderate level of physical fitness, and infants must sit on an adult's lap. The port fee per person is not included, so plan for it. No meeting point is specified, so confirm where to arrive when you book. Public transportation options are available nearby.
