It's time to take the family on a brilliant day out in Mexico. Spend the day with the dedicated crew of Ainara Valeria I, who will do everything they can to make sure you have an incredible trip. At the helm is Captain Jorge, an English and Spanish-speaking captain who is detail-oriented – let him know what you want from your day and he'll do everything he can to make your dreams come true.

Whether you're spending more time fishing or are just jumping aboard to get to the beaches, the boat you'll be on is comfortable and has enough space for 11 anglers. When fishing, 3 anglers can fish at once, or 2 can fly fish instead if they bring their own fly fishing gear. There are 6 masks and fins on board for snorkeling, and one person can spearfish. There really is something for everyone!

The 30' boat has a multimedia system so you can blast your tunes as you travel. There's plenty of seating for a relaxed ride out and 2 fighting chairs to help you reel in the big fish.

Some of the species you can target include Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Jack Crevalle, and plenty more. For fish that can be kept, your captain can make ceviche on board for you. Alternatively, take your catch to a local restaurant and have it cooked there, accompanied with rice and vegetables, for a small cost.

Trips with Capt. Jorge are all about you! You can do a range of activities, from touring Yelapa town and visiting the Cascade Waterfalls, to snorkeling and light fishing. Your day, your choice.

If you choose to fish, the rods and reels are provided for you. You can choose to catch the live bait yourself or purchase it from one of the other local boats, which is an experience in itself. Both options are included in the price.

You should bring along drinks on all trips, as well as sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a towel if getting into the water.

Book a trip today with Ainara Valeria I for an unforgettable and fun-filled day out that your whole group will love.

    Marlin, Sailfish, and Tuna... Oh my!

    12hr OFFSHORE YELLOWFIN TUNA,& MARL on October 25, 2026 • 4 adults

    It was an awesome trip! The capitan and crew were great. They accomodated our needs, and I actually liked how they kinda just matched our energy. We're a little more subdued generally, but got really excited during the catches- this boat matched that. Vibe-wise, it was all we wanted out of a boat apitan and crew. During our 12-hour day we started hot in the first hour and caught two tunas (Albacore and Yellowfin), but went 8 hours or so without anything. This Capitan/Crew knew what they were doing though, we followed the seabirds, dolphins, and hunted fish around Sea Stacks all day trying for something. In the last hour we hooked a black-sailfish (that escaped last second) and an 8-foot long striped marlin! Absolutely UNREAL fishing day. We booked our trip a few months in advance, and this team didn't disappoint. You can't always win for sure, but these guys did everything possible to make our trip happen the way we wanted, and it was well worth it!

    Great Day on the Water

    5 Hour Trip on October 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    My wife and I did the 5 hour trip in the bay. Capt. Jorge and his crew met us at the marina as it was closer for us than going to the malecon. The boat and gear is high quality and in good shape, and Jorge knows what he is doing. the boat also has bluetooth so you can play your own music, whcih is a nice touch! We caught roosterfish, jack, and a bunch of albacore. Jorge had a line out for bigger pelagics like Mahi-Mahi, sailfish, and mackeral, but we didnt luck out that day! Jorge and his mate were knowledgable, friendly, prepared and fun, and even filleted our fish for us and whipped up some on board sashimi/ceviche with one of the catches! Definetly recommend, and will be coming back for the full day trip

    An Incredible Deep-Sea Fishing Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    12hr OFFSHORE YELLOWFIN TUNA,& MARL on October 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    What an unforgettable 12-hour fishing trip! My girlfriend and I had an absolute blast and caught seven fish, including two sailfish, two yellowfin tuna, a skipjack tuna, a horse-eye jack, and one other fish! The boat was fantastic, comfortable, and had plenty of shade to keep us out of the hot sun throughout the day. Captain Jorge and First Mate Angel were absolutely amazing! They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and worked incredibly hard to make sure we had a great experience. Their dedication and hospitality made an already exciting fishing trip truly unforgettable. This was easily one of the highlights of our Puerto Vallarta vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a more memorable day on the water. Highly recommend Captain Jorge and Angel to anyone looking for an incredible deep-sea fishing experience! I will definitely be coming back!

    Highlight of our trip!

    Half Day Trip Fishing on September 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had the best time out fishing with Jorge and his crew. Extremely hospitable guys who made sure we had a lot of fun and caught fish. It was not the season to target Marlin, Mahi Mahi or Tuna, but we were still able to get out and catch some Rooster and Jack fish. They made sashimi fresh on the boat for us to enjoy and it was so delicious! Jorge asked where we were staying and directed us to the closest pier to board his boat. Communication and instructions were clear and easy to follow to meet up. They provided water, juice and sashimi to make sure we were hydrated and not hungry. Couldn’t be happier with the trip and highly recommend Jorge and Ainara Valeria to anyone looking to fish while in Puerto Vallarta. You won’t regret it!

    Awesome day, great captain and crew

    Full Day Trip <Off Shore> on August 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Jorge made it an awesome day for both my wife and I. Very nice very comfortable boat that they keep exceptionally clean. We upgraded our trip the morning of because capatain said he knew where the fish were but we need more time to get there. Best decision we made because our day ended up excellent with 3 yellowfin tuna and a trophy sail fish. Captain is an extrmely knowledge angler and has been fishing the area for 35 years. The deckhands Danny and Brian also made the trip very enjoyable taking pictures of us, making conversation, always making sure we were comfortable and making us delicious yellowfin ceveche at the end of that day. Captain and his guys truly are masters of their craft and do not stop working to make your day unforgettable.

    Captain Jorge is worth every penny

    5 Hour Trip on August 16, 2026 • 3 adults

    ive been on a few fishing charters in both the states and mexico and this was by far the best experience yet. Jorge knows the bay like the back of his hand and its clear he cares deeply about his clients. he went out of his way to pick us up from a different location and make ceviche with the fish we caught once the bite slowed down. his price is fair and his english is great. if youre considering taking a trip in puerto vallerta go with Jorge and Brian. these guys are the real deal and i will 100% be using them again my next trip to Puerto Vallerta.

    Had a fantastic time with Jorge and Louis!

    5 Hour Trip on May 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    We opted for the 5 hour charter, in late May, so not peak fishing time, but we still hooked up with 3 albacore tuna and a blue roon in the first 45 minutes! Jorge and Louis showed up on time, and were very warm and welcoming. Always had good tunes blasting, and were very accommodating to both my girlfriend and I. We also caught a great 24lb jack crevalle, and hooked a smaller mahimahi, but we were not able to land it. The crew made an amazing fresh ceviche with one of the albacore tuna. We had a fantastic time, and highly recommend this charter!

    Best fishing trip to date!

    Half Day Trip Fishing on July 10, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Jorge and crew were amazing! They were very friendly from the start and made sure we were comfortable and had a great time. We caught a ton of jack creville and at one point they even managed to get our whole group of 4 reeling at the same time! We know it’s fishing and nothings guaranteed, so we certainly didn’t expect the action that these guys delivered! An absolute pleasure fishing with these guys, and memories that will last a lifetime! If you’re on the fence, trust me it’s worth it!

    Great Time!!

    Half Day Trip Fishing on August 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught a couple of fish and were happy. It was clear that it was very important to them that we caught fish and they had the knowledge and the equipment to give us the best chance. We got caught in a pretty bad storm on the way back and we got soaked to the bone. Jorge offered to drive us back to our hotel since he felt most Taxi’s wouldn’t drive us as wet as we were. We really appreciated that. Was a great morning and we made great memories. Thank you!

    Amazing Fishing Outting

    Full Day Trip <Off Shore> on October 15, 2026 • 5 adults

    Full day trip, caught yellowfin tuna and trophy mahi mahi. Captain and first mate were super skilled, knowledgeable and helpful - highly recommended. We had such a great time, we went back out with them a couple days later for a shorter outting in the bay and they quickly put us on a limit of Crevalle Jack.
