Captain Gabby is literally the best captain you’ll find for a fishing tour in Puerto Vallarta area with a tone of experience.
We only booked the 4 hour tour in the Harbour of Puerto Vallarta but next time we’ll do the all day deep sea fishing.
Weather was great, Gabby was fun be full of knowledge and made the time fly. Would definitely recommend trying it out if you’re on holidays in the area. A full day or just 4 hours, it’s definitely a bucket list thing to do.

What an amazing day of fishing on Banderas Bay Mexico. Captain Gaby took us out passed the Marietas Islands into the Pacific Ocean. To say the ocean was rough would be an understatement. “And the tiny ship was tossed” to quote Gilligan's Island…it was a great reminder to be prepared especially if you get seasick. Taking medicine beforehand as a precaution is a wonderful idea. The morning started off under a rain-soaked sky and Gaby, the consummate professional that he is, was fully kitted out and had bright yellow raingear ready for us.
Fishing is an outdoor sport…apparently, you go rain or shine!
We put the engines in neutral and moved with the current. We dropped a couple of lines and within a couple of minutes a Mahi Mahi was being reeled in! A little while later a needlefish was brough onboard…and then released.
The decision was made to go back into the bay and calmer waters…sun came out, all was right with the world.
As we cruised the bay, we were treated to a humpback whale pod breaching and splashing…what magnificent creatures!
As we got closer to shore Gaby set lines for Jack Crevalle…no sooner were the lines in place and bang, bang, bang…we had three going. What a way to end a perfect day. Caught and released!

What an amazing day out! The views were incredible! Learnt lots about the city and the water life. We were able to catch more fish than we could eat, and got to see some amazing things.
I highly recommend to anyone who loves fishing or just being out on the open water.

Members of our family were excited to try deep sea fishing for the first time and as we had no experience with the process, were slightly hesitant but once we contacted this wonderful company and their friendly & knowledgable staff, all fears were alliviated and we had an amazing day on the water, completing a fantastic, memorable holiday!
We'll be back and will tell all our friends to do the same!!!

Huge thank you to PuertoVallartaFishingTours with Arnulfo. He sent us on an amazing trip yesterday and it went smooth and great. We caught a sailfish and were made a delicious fresh ceviche aboard. 100% recommend booking their services.

What a day! Five (5) Mahi Mahi, incredible. Puerto Vallarta Fishing Tours comes through again. Arnulfo has been my go to person in Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Nayarit for almost 20 years. He has never let me down.
This was an 8 hour trip out of Bahia Banderas and into the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
We saw turtles 🐢 and a sailfish…the one that got away. So many birds.
Sun, calm waters, great 🎣, we’ll maintained boat and a fabulous captain.
PLUS fresh ceviche created right onboard.
Mexico 🇲🇽 is a beautiful country with gracious people.
Thank you Puerto Vallarta Fishing Tours!
I’ll be back!

Wow, what can I say! This was by far one of the best experiences ever. Gabby our captain, is exceptional at what he does. We spent several hours out in the bay and out towards the point where the Four Seasons is. We managed to see lots of whales, dolphins and turtles along the way. We caught several fish throughout the morning and finished it all off with some fresh ceviche. Will be doing this again on our next PV trip.

My first time sea fishing! The crew was very helpful and clearly enjoy what they do! I would highly recommend this company. We enjoyed a six hour day and caught a variety of fish.

Our first time was an excellent experience. Worried about getting seasick but managed thru the day ok. We did the 6hr tour which was enough time to catch lots of fish. Laughing all the time and really enjoying ourselves. We decided to upgrade to a 38' boat as we don't get this opportunity very often. The little extra luxury was appreciated by all.
You might find cheaper tours being offered on the beach but we wanted to go with a reputable group that ensured we got a great experience. The super fresh ceviche was amazing. Will definitely go again. Next time a longer tour to go out and catch even bigger fish.
