If you're in PV, and considering fishing, look no further than Jamy at High Tides fishing! He's very communicative and it helps that he speaks English, French, and Spanish. The crew took excellent care of us from the very beginning. Picked us up at our airbnb, fed us, catered to us, and most importantly put us on to some killer fishing!! No one else around us seemed to be catching anything and we got; sailfish, mahi mahi and rooster in the boat. I've been on quite a few other fishing charters - usually with grumpy or impatient captains. Not the case with High Tides, Jamy and crew are so energetic and enthusiastic it was infectious. Juan made us some amazing sashimi with the mahi mahi we caught that easily would have cost $25+USD at a nice Japanese restaurant. Special shout out to Olga, her home made banana bread was sooo good. I just can't say enough good things about this crew. I will DEFINITELY be back, and looking forward to bringing my wife and daughter next time!!!

Juan 1 and Juan 2 took us out on the Barbara a 36 footer. We were looking for fish to eat not trophies. We began catching fish as soon as we got to the fishing area they recommended. We were catching Bonita, 33 fish in all. At times we had 2 and 3 fish on at one time. We kept enough filets for a wonderful meal prepared by the chef at our resort. Our trip was arranged by Puerto Vallarta Fishing.net and they were very helpful. We put a 50 percent deposit down online however the balance was due in cash when we showed up. It would be much easier if we could have used a credit card for the balance.

Juan and Juan (father and son) took my family of 6 out on Barbara. It was an amazing day! We caught lots of fish and he whipped up fresh ceviche that was the best I have ever had right on the boat! Then he Filleted several fish to send with us! We took the fish to Maizul restaurant in Nuevo Vallarta and they cooked it up 3 different ways and it was delicious! We also got to see dolphins and whales on our way to and from. When we come back to Mexico, we will be reaching out to Hugo for Juan and Juan to take us back out on Barbara and this time for a full day!

Everything just goes your way sometimes! Plenty of fishing trips before that I paid my dues , so to speak . But. Today was our day to get it done . Captain Jamy showed his expertise in not only finding but using correct methods, lures and adapting to the conditions. The results were a beautiful number of fish caught, most released; except three beautiful red snappers .
High Tides would be my recommendation for Puerto Vallarta.

Me and my two teenage sons went out for a half day on January 3, 2020...we caught 5 Rooster Fish (had a triple at the same time!) and a monster "fat Jack" that was an amazing catch. Jamy and Mike were fantastic...this is a great group to go out with if you have kids or teenagers...highly recommend.

Ricky is the coolest ever! We went on a six hour boat wide with my three friends and I and we had a blast! He took us snorkeling and we went to a gorgeous beach and had the best tacos I’ve ever had! There were two other guys working for him on the boat (Luis and Javier) and they were both very sweet and accommodating. Would definitely take another trip with them. They even caught us two fish and let us real them in! 10/10 would ride again! Ps.Tequila and 420 friendly😋

We had an amazing time on this charter fishing trip. One of the highlights of our Mexico trip. We had a four hour charter for fishing in Bandera Bay and we had fish in the line within 30 minutes. The crew were happy and helpful giving you as much ir as little assistance as you want and they even took one of our catch and prepared fresh ceviche for us to snack on at the end of the trip. Wow.

When fishing in puerto Vallarta is it catch and release or can I ship fish home like I do from Alaska?
Written February 25, 2019
Hola!
In Puerto Vallarta you're free to decide if you want to catch and release, or if you want to take the fish with you.
If you want to keep the fish, the crew will help you clean it and fillet it for no extra charge!!
It is really important to mention that if you want to take the fish home, you will need to well-froze it and take it in a leak-proof container. The amount you can bring back will be subject to the airline/cruise ship restrictions, in which case we totally recommend you to contact them in advance to be prepared ;)
You may contact us directly for more details for an amazing fishing trip while you're here, just scroll up on this page and get in touch, Puerto Vallarta Tours is here to help!

How much does it cost per person for a 6 hour trip?
Written June 16, 2018
They rent the boats by the hour not the number of people. There are many companies and prices. Depends on what you want to do as well. Cruise around the bay or fish. Then big game fishing or just to make some fresh ceviche on the boat.

Written August 2, 2017
There are marlin in the water this time of year, not highest season for marlin (that is in the fall) but there have been several catches. You can check out our fishing calendar on our website by clicking the "website" link at the top of the listing and then "the fish" to get more details. Have an awesome time, and please let us know if we can get you on the water to give it a shot!

Hey there! Loved reading your reviews.. I'll be there from 3/28/17 to 4/04/17, and definitely want to go out. I'll be alone, so I'd just like to sign on with whatever party you have...not looking to rent the whole boat for myself, will split with others. Would love to focus on Tuna, but am open to Marlin and others if thats what the group is after. You can reach me at 408-309-9066..
Written February 25, 2017
Hi John! While we don't currently arrange shared trips, what most of our fishermen do that want to split a boat is to book the boat so that you're sure you have one. Then try to hook up with others on the internet or at your hotel to see if they'll split with you. If they do, you can work out the share between you, where they pay you directly. If you don't well at least you have a boat and get to go fishing!
Doing it this way will help ensure that you get the best possible experience, since you'll be able to screen the folks that you will go out with and make sure their interests and personalities are compatible with yours, and also instead of one line per person like on a shared trip, you may get up to 3 for example if you shared with one other person, which means 3 times the chance of catching fish!
You can make your booking on our website by clicking the "website" link in the upper right portion of this page. We also have English speaking customer service representatives standing by to help you with anything you need via phone, live chat, email Skype or even Facebook!
We look forward to fishing with you!
