The El Pescador is a 50ft custom Delta that is set up perfectly for private charters of up to 6 fishermen. This is not an open load charter vessel. Charters are for 1 to 4 days and no matter the length there is a seasoned crew of 3 to make sure you are catching fish, comfortable and safe. Our specialty is targeting giant yellowfin tuna. Most fishermen have gotten their personal best fishing aboard the El Pescador. Most recently a 450lb tuna was caught see the article from USA today.

We are flexible, meaning, if the cows start biting, we can make the decision to stay longer on the fishing grounds while we are out there. Fishermen can choose to use a belt and play the rail or use a standup post for these giant tunas. We fish a variety of different ways: live bait, trolling, kites & balloons. There is no guarantee that you’ll land your big one but chances are good with 1-6 fishermen rather than a long range boat with double digit fishermen. Food and beverage selections are customized for each charter. Fishermen are picked up at the airport and brought to the vessel if they have elected to leave that day. There is also an option to rent at a discounted rate a 5000 square foot Penthouse at the Shangrila across from the Marina. The Penthouse offers 5 bedroom 5.5 bath on two stories in the 2nd tower at the Shangrila. It is on the beach along with the largest pool in Puerto Vallarta. There is a full service spa, gym, restaurant and bar.

The El Pescador has been featured on an ESPN show called Wanna Go Fishing highlighting the giant Tuna we catch in Puerto Vallarta. We were the first private vessel to use long range fishing techniques in Puerto Vallarta and have consistently out fished most vessels.
