Review of Puerto Vallarta’s private four-hour fishing charter, with seasonal tips, boat details, costs, catch odds, snacks, and practical advice.

“The team was great and very helpful! Unfortunately Mother Nature wasn’t helping us. We didn’t catch any keepers due to several things, nothing that the team could have done anything about. We even saw other boats that didn’t catch anything. I would recommend this team but definitely during a better season. The team still made the trip memorable and the weather was great.”

7.Fishing by private boat

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 2 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Review of a private Puerto Vallarta fishing boat to Punta de Mita, with pricing, gear, crew, snacks, catches, and practical booking advice.

“Disappointed unfortunately.a A big disconnect between this app and the captain. There was a total of 2 beers on board when the booking stated 3 per person (should have been 18). We were charged 100 pesos per persons vs the 80 on the purchase agreement. The communication between the captain and our texts through the app, also went unanswered. My opinion, skip the app, deal directly with the charter and make sure everyone is on the same page. The captain and his team did a good job and we caught 3 fish and they made a great ceviche. Nice crew. Also be aware, the boat we went on, was not…”
