Was able to get on the boat very close to where I was staying. Once on the boat I was impressed with the boat and gear we were going to be using. The captain told me we would be heading out about 12-15 miles out to where the fish are. As soon as we got to the fishing grounds it was game on. I had a great time, caught lots of fish and was very impressed with the crew’s knowledge and ability to communicate with me. I brought some of the catch back to the place I was staying and had a delicious bbq with my family. I will for sure be booking another trip with these guys as well as tell my friends about it. Thank you so much Viking 2 charters!!

We have fished with many boats when we’ve gone to Puerto Vallarta but none as good as Viking Fishing Charters. Manuel and Eduardo are the absolute best! They were very knowledgeable and worked hard to get us on fish! We won’t use anyone else. Thank you both for a wonderful day of fishing!

This is our second time to use this charter service and both times were exceptional.. The first time we limited out so quick Captain Manual Carlos Santana lol. went looking for the trophy fish, and it only took him minutes to land us a 6-foot Blue Marlin, what a blast. This time was a little tougher going, Mahi weren’t biting, so as a great angler and captain he saved the day and went into lower water where we caught a couple of Rooster fish, a Skip Jack, a Jack Carvell, a Needle fish, and a couple others. Thanks to Carlos Santana (still giggle) we had a successful day at sea. I highly recommend you ask for him. Thanks guys we will see you next year.

We went out the morning of July 25 with Eduardo and Alex.  Within 90 minutes we had reeled in six large yellow tail and were smiling from ear to ear.  We decided to take break and do the snorkeling portion of our trip.  We beat the big snorkeling boats and had the area pretty much to ourselves.  The gear was great and we enjoyed an hour to swim with the fish.  The fish were plentiful, as were the pelicans, frigate birds, and blue footed boobies.  On the way back, we enjoyed a leisurely boat ride past the city and landscape.  Great morning with good people and fun fishing.  What can be better?  We highly recommend them for ease of use, cleanliness of gear, and professionalism.  We will be back for a sailfish one day.

My 75 year-old father has talked about catching a marlin for decades.  I did some research and chose July for our trip as it was the beginning of marlin season. I reached out to the Viking crew and told them marlin was what we were after… and they made our dream a reality!  I honestly thought it was a long shot, but somehow they made it happen!  We caught a gorgeous striped marlin (over 130 lbs) and were ecstatic… but the day wasn’t over.  Our crew heard another boat caught a tuna nearby, so they raced over there, threw out our lines and we got a hit right away!  Also reeled in a tuna over 60 lbs.  We also caught some “yellowtail” that weren’t good for eating so we released them.  It was an absolutely fantastic day that my whole family will never forget.  These guys are the real deal.  They know where to find the fish and you can tell they are extremely experienced. They knew what we had caught before we even reeled them to the surface based on how they acted on the line.  Cannot recommend this charter enough.  We will definitely be back!
