Shared Fishing Charters in Puerto Vallarta
Not everyone needs a full private boat to enjoy world-class fishing—and that’s exactly where this experience shines. Shared charters are ideal for first-timers, solo travelers, or anyone who wants to get out on the water, learn the ropes, and have a legit shot at landing something impressive… without blowing the vacation budget.
You’ll still get the full sportfishing experience—just with a few new fishing buddies along for the ride.
Top of the Line Fishing Equipment & Expert Crew
his isn’t some DIY “good luck out there” situation. You’ll be fishing aboard a newer-model 27’ super panga—one of the most efficient and versatile vessels for targeting fish in Banderas Bay. These boats are fast, stable, and purpose-built for sport fishing, with plenty of shade and even a bathroom onboard (yes, that matters more than you think).
Your captain and crew? Absolute pros. They know the currents, the structure, and the seasonal patterns that bring fish into the bay. Whether you’re trolling, casting, or learning how to properly work live bait, they’ll guide you every step of the way—and happily jump in to help you land that trophy when the moment hits.
Common catches in Banderas Bay include:
- Mahi Mahi (Dorado)
- Yellowfin Tuna
- Roosterfish
- Jack Crevalle
- Sierra Mackerel
- Snapper
- Sailfish (seasonal)
- Marlin (seasonal, if conditions allow)
All - Inclusive Fishing Charter in Puerto Vallarta
This trip keeps things easy. Your fishing licenses, bait, gear, food, and drinks are all included—so you can focus on what really matters: spotting that rod bend.
And if luck is on your side? The crew will whip up a fresh ceviche right onboard using your catch. It doesn’t get much more “boat-to-table” than that.
