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.

JUST DO IT!

5 Hour Trip on December 2, 2025 • 2 adults

We had an absolutely incredible experience on our fishing charter! Even though the fish weren’t biting much that day (that’s fishing for you!), we had the best time just being out on the water. We saw whales, dolphins, manta rays, and the most breathtaking mountain views—worth the trip alone! Jorge and David were fantastic guides. They worked hard to put us on fish and still managed to help us catch a shark and two skipjacks, which was just the icing on the cake. They even filleted everything for us, so we had plenty of fresh fish to enjoy over the next few days. The boat itself was super comfortable, and having a bathroom onboard was a major bonus—especially while enjoying a few beers! One tip: don’t forget to bring a bag for your fish filets at the end. We forgot ours, but luckily they had a spare. Overall, this was such a memorable adventure, and we’d book again in a heartbeat. If you’re considering a fishing charter, this is the one! 🎣🌊

Awesome day catching fish

10 Hour Trip – Big Game on November 3, 2025 • 2 adults

What a great day, we started today by getting 2 hits by marlin and then a sailfish that we were able to bring in. It was a 96 inch long beauty and 30 inches around the belly. We had a few more hits after that but unfortunately they didnt stick. Besides catching one of my favorite fish and checking off a bucket list item we seen a ton of dolphins and sea turtles. Made it even better seeing all of that. Later in the evening Captain Jorge made arrangements for someone to take care of the bill and have it professionally cleaned and presentable. I was not only very impressed with all the hard work put into getting us that beautiful fish but im also very impressed with how late in the evening he worked to get the bill taken care of for me. I would highly recommend going fishing with him

Full Day Trip <Off Shore> on October 27, 2025 • 2 adults

My second time ever fishing, but this has been a lifelong dream for my boyfriend, so we decided to send it despite being nervous of being out so far in the ocean. We originally booked an 8 hour, but decided to extend to 10 at the recommendation of the caption since we were already there. Go big or go home! Unfortunately for us, we went out the day after a big tournament so the seas were pretty quiet. Only got a couple bites, but those few bites mattered because we ended up with a blue marlin! We only got that one fish pretty early, but if you’re like me and just like to be on the sidelines, it was a beautiful and relaxing time to just enjoy the sun and nap in the shade listening to the waves and nothing else but beautiful blue around. And it was just a wonderful experience to even get to try regardless. We paid a little extra to have the fish frozen and sealed for us to bring back to the US, including two coolers. Definitely a pricier experience, but 100% worth it!

Epic trip!

5 Hour Trip on September 18, 2025 • 2 adults

Captain Jorge recommended adding 90 min so we could have time to access cleaner water with all the recent rain. A mellow cruise 20 mi offshore took us to a big school of tuna fighting birds for bait fish. We were on the tuna quickly landing 2 doubles and the fishing was steady. We then targeted Mahi Mahi and caught 3 small Dorado, enough for Jorge to make some amazing fresh cevice while still tending 6 lines for my wife and I. We then landed a Mako shark that gave my arms a workout, shark tacos for dinner tonight. To top things off we hooked and landed a 100 in sailfish! We were the only boat in sight in an area that Jorge clearly knew would produce fish. At the end of the day we caught 20 albacore, 6 jacks, 3 mahi mahi, 1 mako and 1 sailfish. This is our second trip with Jorge and Valleria this year. They are friendly, knowledgeable, professional and put us on fish both trips. Highly recommended!

Best fishing experience ive ever had!

7 hours - yelapa town & fishing on July 28, 2025 • 2 adults

Captain Jorge and David exceeded my expectations. It was easy to find them and extremely friendly. At first we booked the light fishing and Yelapa tour but after catching a small tuna within the first 3o min I realized we needed to try the deep sea. The first blue marlin we tried to catch broke the line. Within the next 20 min we got another bite and it took me 30 min to reel it in. My arms were sore the rest of the week. I'll definitely remember this the rest of my life. I'm definitely going back to Puerto Vallarta and booking another trip with Captain Jorge and David.
