Sportfishing Information

Puerto Vallarta is not the best known or the most prolific sportfishing destination in Mexico.  But this town is full of pleasant surprises.  And one of those surprises is the quality of sport fishing that is available here.  There are many options available to a fisherman in Puerto Vallarta. 

You can fish from pangas, luxury yachts or from the 26 to 38 foot boats of the charter fleet.  Fish for billfish and many other species, almost everyone who fishes out of Puerto Vallarta will catch something.  The waters are abundant with sailfish all year.  Other species are more seasonal.  Check with one of the sport fishing companies or walk the marina in the afternoon to find out who caught what and to arrange a charter for later.  Pangas can be hired from almost any beach.  You should be able to arrange a custom fishing charter that will suit your individual fishing preferences, as well as your budget.

The biggest fishing event, the Puerto Vallarta Sailfish Tournament is held each year in November.  For information call the Club de Pesca at (322) 221-5434.
