At Mike’s Fishing & Tours, every day on the ocean tells a different story.
Whether you’re chasing the thrill of reeling in a marlin off Punta de Mita or sipping champagne aboard a luxury yacht cruising toward Yelapa, we have the perfect boat for your Fishing charters in Puerto Vallarta.
Explore our two signature experiences: Sport Fishing Charters and Private Luxury Yacht Tours.
Adventure, Passion & Big Catches: Sport Fishing in Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is one of the top sport fishing destinations in the Mexican Pacific, home to trophy species like marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, tuna, and roosterfish.
Our experienced local crews know these waters inside and out, taking you to the best fishing spots in the Bay of Banderas and beyond.
Each of our fishing boats is fully equipped with professional gear, GPS, fish finders, shaded areas, and everything you need for a successful day at sea.
Planning your dream trip to Puerto Vallarta? Our Fishing Fleet:
Love to fish? The Karina II is a fantastic choice for inshore fishing. She’s our fast and agile 42-foot Convertible, and she’s not just a boat—she's your ticket to the best-kept secrets of Banderas Bay.
The Karina II is a fantastic choice for inshore fishing. Her speed and agility mean you spend less time traveling and more time casting. We’ll get you to the best spots along the coastline to hunt for species like Jack Crevalle, Sierra, and (in season) the mighty Roosterfish. Imagine reeling in your catch and having our expert crew prepare the freshest ceviche you’ve ever tasted, right there on deck!
The "Isabella" (Viking 44' Luxury Sportfisher)
For those who want luxury and serious sportfishing, our 44-foot Viking, the "Isabella," is a class of its own. While she is a top-tier vessel for offshore fishing—fully equipped with licenses, bait, and all pro gear—her comfort and style make her ideal for all types of private charters.
The Isabella is a perfect all-around boat for sightseeing and making memories, with a special emphasis on water activities. Your charter includes bottled water and chopped fruit to enjoy.
Snorkel at Los Arcos: Her spacious deck and easy water access make her a fantastic platform for aquatic fun. Let us whisk you away to the iconic Los Arcos de Mismaloya, where we’ll drop anchor for a private snorkeling session in the clear waters, surrounded by colorful tropical fish.
Unforgettable Sunsets: Like all our luxury charters, the “Isabella” offers an unforgettable private sunset cruise. Glide past the downtown Malecon with a cold drink in hand and watch the sky explode in orange, purple, and gold.
The Isabella II, our 42-foot Hatteras Classic
This yacht is designed for pure enjoyment, featuring air-conditioned cabins, restrooms, spacious shaded decks, and comfortable lounge areas.
While perfect for any private charter, she is our top recommendation for an unforgettable winter experience.
The Best Kept Secret: Winter Whale Watching: Visiting us in the winter (starting in December)? You are in for an incredible treat. The Isabella II is one of the best ways to experience the majesty of the humpback whales. Forget the crowded tour boats. On your own private whale watching tour, you get an intimate, front-row seat to see these gentle giants breach and play. It’s a truly awe-inspiring experience.
