My wife and I booked a 12 hr trip with captain Ariel in hopes of going way out and catching some bill fish or tuna.  Unfortunately we never did run into a group.of schooling tuna.  WE did have 3 sails come into our set but non of them committed.  Finally at towards the end of our day we hooked up with a small stripped marlin.  Even though it was a tough day of fishing we enjoyed the day and saw many other marine life such as whales sea turtles and dolphins.  A big thanks to captain Ariel and his first mate for all of their hard work.  We covered a lot of water and they even kept us out longer than 12 hours to try and get us more fish.  Definitely would recommend captain Ariel for you

Ariel had a day off (no problem) and we went out with Sammy and Carlos.  I have fished in PV a number of times before and can safely say that these guys were the best!  They worked hard to find us fish and although we started off very slow we ended up bringing in 3 huge jacks “toros” and 1 bonito.  Sammy and Carlos were super friendly, especially to my 10 year old son - we had a great time!

There was not a lot of action until a school of tune came into the bay.  But the captain just kept throwing a lure into the school and snagging the fish and then handing the pole off to one of us.  We really wanted to “fish” and I understand that the captain was trying to give us the best experience but this was really not our idea of fishing.  Overall if the fish were biting I’m sure the experience would have been 5 stars and I would recommend.

Enjoyed our 5 hour fishing tour on Calypso with husband and two sons.  Captain and Sammy were excellent hosts.  The boat is impeccably clean, comfortable and well-equipped.  The fish were scarce, but they tried very hard to locate then.  My son reeled in a large Jack, and Sammy made fresh ceviche for us.  I highly recommend Calypso.

Captain Ariel made great suggestions and help to explain every part of the trip the same day I booked it to confirm everything we wanted to do. Capt. Luis and our guide Eli made the trip perfect. Eli knew everyone involved with the island and we were the first to get into the hidden beach due to his freindship with the park rangers. Luis ran the boat perfectly even in the tricky spots that are narrow and shallow so we saw every piece of the island. After snorkeling and visiting multiple beaches we headed for the fish. We were greeted with fresh pineapple as we dried off.  Luis and Eli worked the boat and the lines together and put us on some Bonitas right away. They both watched the Water and the air for signs of fish and put us on them in 4 different locations.  As we traveled across the area we spotted many whales and dolphins. Luis always moving us towards whales or fish all afternoon. We picked all pulled in all the lines and headed in from a beautiful day. As we moved back toward Puerto Vallarta Luis spotted a large flock of birds and then dolphins and asked if we wanted to fish more as he was sure this sooot was full of more. Eli and Luis set all the reels again and we were into 2 jacks. We brought in 2 more and headed home.  Great guys amazing day !!!!
