My son and I had a wonderful time out at sea in Puerto Vallarta. Firstly, by the time we got to Puerto Iguana at about 6:30 AM for our 7 AM departure Captain Diego Garcia and crew were already there with the boat ready to go. They were very courteous, sociable and comfortable to work with. We caught a few fish which my wife was happy to prepare for us. My son was especially excited to land a couple, including a sizeable Jack. I will most certainly be looking to book with Viento Negro the next time I am in Puerto Vallarta.

I had a good morning with my Captain Eli. Very personable and easy to talk with. Spent the morning trolling, unfortunately was not successful on fishing. We did see two different pods of whales. The boat was not luxurious but certainly was a good sized fishing boat. A bit more bare bones but had what was needed. I was not looking for a luxurious experience as I was just wanting to get out. I did ask about spearfishing, and to be clear I am a complete novice. I have snorkelled but never speared. I was told to bring my wet suit and everything else would be provided. From a gear perspective there was there was a spear but no snorkels or flippers. My captain after a quick discussion about my experience felt it was unsafe to let me just take a spear and go for it, which I appreciated his concern for my safety. It would have been more feasible if another instructor/free diver was also along to help me ID fish, safety, techniques, etc…. I feel like more questions prior to the trip would have helped in providing an experience spear fishing. I would have paid more for a second guy if that would have gotten me in the water. If you are booking for spearfishing just ask more questions. I can’t complain about the quality of my Captain on the day, his concern for safety or the day of fishing we did do. I choose this charter for the daily rate. This was my first time fishing the ocean and using a charter so I have nothing to compare it too.


We enjoyed the peaceful time on the water. Just sad that we did not catch any fish.

Very nice captain, safe, good for a family, you stay close to shore so it’s ideal if you have little ones
Just wanted a few hours of light tackle casting and some bottom fishing. We were not looking to only go after big game fish. Crew didn’t really seem to know where to go to fish. Not one bite in 4 hours. Rods were old deep sea rods. Not light tackle.
