What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit for the first time?

Take the chance, book the 10 hr and spend the day to chase quality fish. The run to and from the fishing grounds may be upwards of 2hrs each way so the 10hr trip still gives you plenty of time to fish.

Enjoy the experience. It’s a special place. We’ve seen whales, sea turtles and dolphins. You never know what the conditions will be. It could be very good fishing or not. But it’s always a good trip.

Be very exact and detailed what you expect from the fishing trip: describe fish species, fishing gear etc. Because if you don’t, the boat will go after trophy fish by default and you will be just sitting and doing nothing all day long.

Expect to get a little wet, the rain will come in, but then disappear. Bay seems really healthy with tons of fish. We came across a few boils though where we couldn’t get a bit, but probably 7/10 we got bites.

This is an affordable charter for the price. There are much more expensive boats you can charter but this one will do the same as the expensive ones probably the only difference would be in the amenities the boat provides.

We had a fantastic day and came home with fish in hand. We were slightly underdressed for the first little bit as it can be cool overnight in Nuevo in January, but once the sun was up we’re nice and warm and in all honesty we were only slightly cool and not actually cold.

2 of us paid £400 total for the trip for the fish of a lifetime one of us didn't touch a rod and I had 1 minute bringing in a small bonito as we were packing up.. I think it's because the sea was very rough... the trouble is you pick your day and keep your fingers crossed. We must have just been very unlucky... the boat next to us caught a big marlin though. ..

Have a great time. Book all day because you never know what might happen all the way up to the last reel up!

Absolutely. The crew was supportive and instructive. The scenery was spectacular. The wildlife was epic. There is no flaw to this service.

Don’t set your expectations too high, after all good fishing can be day to day and luck has lots to do with it.

Not Mahi Mahi season so we were left to chase smaller fish but were very happy with the results. You’d need at least an 8-10 hour tour if you want sailfish or marlin.

Be clear about what fish you are targeting when first contacting the captain or booking manager. Make sure their tackle matches what you are fishing for.

Good for you if you’re checking a box. Not fishing, anyone should be able to catch a fish here. We didn’t

Water is warm in July. I think best fishing is October and November for the big game fish. Bottom fishing in July might be your best bet for the larger game during summer.

Expect some rain showers. Know what species you want before you go. It will change due to migration etc. We were not specific on this trip we just had a great time.

I’d probably go between Nov and March, sounds like this is the best fishing and lots of whales/dolphins in the area.

We forgot a long sleeve shirt for the boys in the am. But the chill wore off quick as the day heated up

Bring your catch to Eddies place, they did a fantastic job of cooking the fish that we caught and it was a short water taxi ride from the marina.

Smaller boat at 25’ but worked well for us. We were a group of 5 so maybe a bit tight for that many but we had a good time with lots of fish.

Rooster were not as active as I would have thought, but the mahi mahi were really biting. Next time I will just focus on Mahi Mahi.

Check the fishing reports to see what’s biting to make sure your fishing for what you want to be catching.

Sit back and relax. It takes time for fish to bite. I’m the meantime, whale watch, look for turtles swimming by, enjoy the scenery, and immerse in the experience.

If you realy just want to catch fishs,target the species that are active at the time you're there or just go and try to get lucky and have fun.

Enjoy the views! The area is gorgeous! Fishing anywhere can be slow to amazing...but the scenery was breathtaking! Oh..whales, dolphin and sea turtles!

Second time out with no luck. Not going to try again. I have better ways to spend my hard earned money.

This was my first time to Neuvo Vallerta but it seems everybody out was catching fish

If you’re looking to catch a certain fish, call them to discuss the best time of the year .

We caught fish but it was slow. Can't say for sure what would be the best time of year.

Book an an all day’r with Captain David and Mate Marco on Capt. Brother’s boat.

Might be worth your effort to share a boat with friends and get a large craft to reach the big boys
