Private Fishing Charter in Puerto Vallarta for up to 6 people

This is a private fishing charter in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, designed for groups of up to six people. The boat goes out with a professional captain and a deckhand, and the fishing takes place inside Banderas Bay, the large bay that gives the area its shape. Because the charter is private, the boat is yours alone rather than shared with other parties.

The listing describes the catch as a wide array of fish. Among the species mentioned are small mahi mahi, jack crevalle, needlefish and skipjacks, plus others. Expect to fish with live bait, which is supplied on board, and a cooler with ice is provided so that anything you decide to keep stays cold. The fishing license is also covered, so you do not need to arrange one yourself.

The activity is listed as lasting 240 minutes, which is about four hours on the water. The crew handles the boat and supports you while you fish, so you can concentrate on the rods and on watching the bay. The operator does not provide a detailed hour-by-hour itinerary, so the exact fishing spots and route will depend on the captain.

The trip is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels, which makes it a reasonable option for families and mixed groups. Infants must sit on an adult's lap, and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. It is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health, so check with your doctor if either applies to you.

Plan your food and drinks in advance: lunch and other food and drinks are not included. Tips are not included either, and the operator mentions that they are normally 10 to 20 percent. There is also a port fee of 3 dollars per person that you pay separately. Public transportation options are available nearby, and no meeting point is stated in the listing, so confirm where the charter starts when you book.
