It’s time to take the family on a brilliant day out in Mexico. Spend the day with the dedicated crew of Valeria I, who will do everything they can to make sure you have an incredible trip. At the helm is Captain Jorge, an English and Spanish speaking captain who is detail-oriented – let him know what you want from your day and he’ll do everything he can to make your dreams come true.

Whether you’re spending more time fishing or are just jumping aboard to get to the beaches, the boat you’ll be on is comfortable and has enough space for 11 anglers. When fishing, 3 anglers can fish at once, or 2 can fly fish instead if they bring their own fly fishing gear. There are 6 masks and fins on board for snorkeling, and one person can spearfish. There really is something for everyone!

The 30’ boat has a multimedia system so you can blast your tunes as you travel. There’s plenty of seating for a relaxed ride out and 2 fighting chairs to help you reel in the big fish.

Some of the species you can target include Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Jack Crevalle, and plenty more. For fish that can be kept, your captain can make ceviche on board for you. Alternatively, take your catch to a local restaurant and have it cooked there, accompanied with rice and vegetables, for a small cost.

Trips with Capt. Jorge are all about you! You can do a range of activities, from touring Yelapa town and visiting the Cascade Waterfalls, to snorkeling and light fishing. Your day, your choice.

If you choose to fish, the rods and reels are provided for you. You can choose to catch the live bait yourself or purchase it from one of the other local boats, which is an experience in itself. Both options are included in the price.

You should bring along drinks on all trips, as well as sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a towel if getting into the water.

Book a trip today with Valeria I for an unforgettable and fun-filled day out that your whole group will love.

Great trip!
Full Day Trip <Off Shore> on February 2, 2026 β€’ 1 adult
I had a great time on my charter with Jorge and his crew. We went approximately 60 kilometers off shore looking for mahi mahi. Unfortunately they were not cooperating. However we managed to land 4 other fish. I was lucky though to see whales and dolphins. We all tried our luck at catching tuna. we saw them jumping all over the place! But again, no luck. I felt that the captain and his crew worked hard to get the fish I wanted. Hopefully better luck next time. If you're looking for a great adventure, I would highly recommend chartering Jorge and his crew!

8 Hours – Beaches and Fishing on February 24, 2026 β€’ 3 adults
We just had our second charter with Captain Jorge and it was very successful. We caught skipjacks and jack crevalle from the numerous schools swimming around the islands. It was a beautiful day, great to be on the water. Once again, even as PV returned to normal, Jorge ensured everyone had a good time and was secure. Please book with Valeria I if you are looking for a fishing charter. He is top notch! When we came back to PV, we would book with him again for sure. Thanks Jorge!!

Hard working Captain and Crew
10 Hour Trip – Big Game on February 22, 2026 β€’ 3 adults
Captain Jorge and Ines both did a fantastic job during our 10-hour fishing adventure. We were chasing tuna and saw so many dolphins, turtles and whales too. We happened to be out when there was a lot of activity happening in PV but Jorge made sure we were safe and kept us up to date with military and police activity might have prevented us from leaving the marina. If I could give him more stars, I would. He definitely wants to make sure his passengers are safe and well cared for!

5 Hour Trip on February 8, 2026 β€’ 4 adults
There were 4 in our party. Captain Jorge and his mate, Angle, treated us very well. it was a beautiful day on the water. We saw several whales as a bonus. The fishing on this particular day was very slow. i know the Captain was in communication with other boats and they were experiencing the same. We ended up with 3 small Albacore and one, a little larger, California Benita. We all felt the day was most enjoyable and would definitely do it again with Captain Jorge!πŸ˜€

What a wonderful afternoon!!!
half day of fishing on January 17, 2026 β€’ 2 adults
First off, we were so happy to fund an afternon trip! We may be retired but after YEARS of working nights, earlier morning trips just dont work for us. So off we go at 1 pm knowing the fishing may not be the best. Jorge and Emiliano both explained this to us so imagine our surprise when an hour in, we are both fighting good size fish in the bay!! Two amberjacks (one 45 lbs, the other 40 lbs). Man i need to lift more weights πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Storm rolls in about an hour later so we head closer to shore and so exciting caught two albacore!! Oh yeah, did i leave out the fresh Shichimi that Jorge mixed us up or the water and beer that Emiliano kept offering? we had a wonderful time and will definitely keep this crew in our favorites for our next trip to PV!!! They were great and walked us through everything they were doing. Highly recommendπŸ‘
