Welcome to Mike’s Fishing & Tours! You don’t need a tournament-level registration to enjoy an incredible, productive day on the water. If you want to experience the true thrill of catching your own dinner, relaxing with an ice-cold drink, and exploring the beautiful Mexican Pacific with a local crew, our private Puerto Vallarta fishing charters are exactly what you are looking for.
Our experienced team specializes in trolling and casting—proven, highly engaging methods that guarantee an amazing day of action for families, groups of friends, and passionate anglers alike.
Depending on your goals and how much time you want to spend on the ocean, we offer two distinct private experiences:
Inside Banderas Bay (4 to 6 Hours): Perfect for families, shorter trips, and those who prefer calmer waters. We stay within the safety of the bay, making it a wonderful introduction to local marine life.
Offshore / Deep Sea (8 Hours and up): For the true adventurers. We sail past the edges of the bay into the open blue waters of the Pacific Ocean where the big trophies roam.
To make your journey completely effortless, we offer private departures from three convenient docks across the region: Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, and La Cruz de Huanacaxtle.
The waters around Vallarta are teeming with life year-round. Here is what you can expect to find on your line:
Inside the Bay Species: Spanish Mackerel (Sierra), Bonito, Jack Crevalle (Toro), Skipjack, and seasonal Mahi-Mahi (Dorado).
Outside the Bay Species: Sailfish (Pez Vela), Blue & Black Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, and large deep-sea Mahi-Mahi.

Not at all! Our private Puerto Vallarta fishing charters are completely beginner and family-friendly. Our experienced local crew specializes in trolling and casting techniques, meaning they will guide you step-by-step from casting the line to safely reeling in your prize.
All our private Puerto Vallarta fishing charters include fishing gear (tackle, rods, and reels), live or dead bait, and individual maritime fishing licenses. We also provide bottled water, fresh ice, and fruit. Best of all, if you hook an edible fish like Dorado or Sierra, our crew will clean it right on deck and prepare a fresh, authentic Mexican ceviche for your group!
To make your journey completely effortless, we offer private departures from three convenient docks across the region: Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, and La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. You can easily select your preferred pickup location when finalizing your online booking.
If you prefer calmer waters inside Banderas Bay targeting species like Spanish Mackerel or Bonito, a 4 to 6-hour charter is ideal. However, if you want your Puerto Vallarta fishing charters to head out into the deep-sea open ocean for large trophies like Marlin, Sailfish, or Yellowfin Tuna, we highly recommend booking a duration of 8 hours or longer.
Our online rates are fully transparent and already have the 20% online discount pre-applied. The only external expenses on our Puerto Vallarta fishing charters are local pier access fees required at the dock, ground transportation to the marina, and optional crew gratuities if you wish to reward your team for an outstanding day at sea.
