What are your departure docks?
We operate out of Marina Vallarta (no extra fees apply) / Nuevo Vallarta: Paradise Village Public Pier / La Cruz de Huanacaxtle: Marina Riviera Nayarit (entry fee applies) / Punta Mita: El Anclote (entry fee applies) / Los Muertos Pier: (entry fee applies)
What is included in the rental price?
Our standard charters include a professional crew (captain and deckhand), fuel for a pre-set route, bottled water, ice, and snorkeling gear. Some packages also include snacks or an open bar, but we can definitely customize the catering or premium drinks for an additional fee.
Can we customize the itinerary?
Absolutely! While we have recommended routes to see landmarks like Los Arcos or Las Animas, the yacht is yours. The places we can visit will depend on the duration of your trip. Just let the captain know your preferences, and as long as the weather and time permit, we’ll take you wherever you’d like to go.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the Port Authority closes the harbor due to unsafe conditions, we offer the option to reschedule. However, if it’s raining and the port remains open, the charter proceeds as planned. Our yachts have covered areas to keep you dry and comfortable. Please check our cancellation and rental policy here!
Is a tip for the crew mandatory?
While not mandatory, a gratuity is highly appreciated as it makes up a significant part of the crew’s income. The industry standard in Puerto Vallarta is typically 10% to 15% of the total charter price, depending on the level of service you received.

EXCELLENT Based on 28 reviews Posted on Brittany JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bernardo is amazing. Highly recommend so professional!Posted on Paul Van RemortelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend this company enough. As they say in their description, they keep it easy. All it took was a couple of messages back and forth and we were booked. A small deposit to guarantee our spot is all they needed. The boat was clean and the crew was very friendly and helpful. Marshall and Juan are the best! You can tell that they were experienced and knew what they were doing. They found us fish right away and we were slaying them in no time. What a rush!!!!! I cannot wait to come to town again. Without question, we will be booking another trip with them. It was the highlight of our vacation. Also, we really enjoyed the meal that was prepared for us later that night with our catch at their partner restaurant. It was delicious! Do yourself a favor..... Choose Fintastic for your next fishing charter in PV. You can thank me later.Posted on Jennifer BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time!

Thank you!Posted on Floy PenceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an awesome Fishing trip out of Marina Vallarta with Captain Caesar. The communication was clear and concise with the booking arrangements. Smooth ride, the boat was the perfect size. The sunrise was amazing on our way through Banderas Bay. Captain had us on the fish in no time. The Mahi were jumping and we were catching! Captain Caesar and the first mate Al were gracious and communicated in Spanish and English. We will book them again on next year's vacation! I checked and their pricing was the best in Puerto Vallarta.Posted on Heath GustafsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Cesar was great!
