Celebrate in the Ocean with Mike’s Fishing & Tours
There’s something magical about spending the end of the year in Puerto Vallarta. Warm winter sunsets, golden beaches, lively nightlife, and a festive atmosphere that fills every corner of Banderas Bay make this destination one of the most beloved holiday escapes in Mexico.
But while most visitors celebrate from the city, the most unforgettable experiences happen offshore — surrounded by ocean breeze, starlight, and panoramic views of the bay.
And that’s where Mike’s Fishing & Tours transforms your vacation into something extraordinary.
Whether you’re ringing in the New Year, celebrating a birthday, hosting a private gathering, or simply wanting a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, the ocean becomes your stage — and our boats become your private venue.
Why Puerto Vallarta Is Perfect for End-of-Year Vacations
Puerto Vallarta is one of the few destinations where winter feels like summer. From late December through early January, the bay offers:
- Warm, comfortable weather ideal for boating
- Calm seas perfect for cruising, snorkeling, and wildlife watching
- Spectacular sunsets
- A festive, energetic ambiance
- Fireworks across the entire coastline on New Year’s Eve
And the best part? You can admire it all from your own private boat.
