Welcome to the heart of world-class fishing! For nearly 40 years, Captain Pete has been the trusted name for unforgettable deep-sea fishing adventures in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This isn’t just a business; it’s a legacy built on decades of expertise, proven success, and a passion for putting anglers on the fish of a lifetime. We are strategically located on one of the largest and most abundant bays in Mexico, giving you unparalleled access to the Pacific Ocean’s richest waters.
The Best Fishing Grounds in Mexico
Our unmatched experience means we know exactly where the fish are biting. We target the most productive fishing grounds in all of Mexico, including the legendary offshore banks of El Banco and Corbetena, as well as the prolific Marias Islands. Right here in Puerto Vallarta’s Bay, the action is constant, offering spectacular catches of:
- Marlin (Black and Blue)
- Tuna (Yellowfin and Skipjack)
- Sailfish
- Roosterfish
- Mahi-Mahi (Dorado)
Our long-standing reputation is backed by results. Year after year, our boats consistently bring in more trophy fish than most other charter companies. We’re not just saying it; we’ve won the tournaments to prove it, including the San Blas Fishing Tournament (Sailfish and Mahi-Mahi divisions) and the Los Muertos Fishing Tournament. Our success has even earned us a feature on ESPN during the World Billfish Tournament! When you fish with Captain Pete, you’re fishing with proven winners and certified pros.
Your Fleet for the Catch of a Lifetime
We offer a diverse fleet of impeccably maintained fishing vessels, each loaded with top-of-the-line electronics and the finest Avet fishing gear to ensure your trip is both safe and successful.
The Ultimate Sportfisher: 40+ Foot Boats
Our most requested vessel is the 40 FT. Sportfisher, a fully loaded deep-sea machine designed to handle the giants of the Pacific. It features everything an avid angler needs:
- Powerful Avet two-speed fishing reels (including Gold Avets 30s and Penn 80s with over 1,000 meters of line)
- Advanced sonar and electronics
- Flybridge for spotting fish
- Two fighting chairs
- Tuna tubes and three live wells
- A comfortable, carpeted salon, an electric head, and a galley
When a huge Marlin or massive Tuna is on the line, this is the boat you want to be on. We even use a secret tool: TERRINFIN, a satellite service that pinpoints the clean, blue, temperature-rich waters where big game fish congregate, drastically cutting down on search time.
Sportfishing Medium-Sized Charters
Our 32 FT. Medium-Sized Sport Fisher is an excellent choice for groups of 4 to 6 fishermen, perfectly suited for both exciting offshore trips and action-packed fishing inside the bay. It’s a versatile vessel that always gets the job done.
The Super Panga
For smaller groups looking for intense Puerto Vallarta Bay fishing, our 28 FT. Super Panga is a highly requested “fish-finding machine.” We guarantee we will put you right on the fish with this agile boat.
