Whale Watching
Puerto vallarta
Witness the Giants
Whale watching trips are offer only from December 8th to March 23rd*
Don’t just see the whales. Experience them with Fintastic PV.
Every winter, the Humpback whales travel thousands of miles to the warm waters of Banderas Bay to mate and give birth. While others are cramped on crowded tour boats, fighting for a view over someone’s shoulder, Fintastic PV offers you a private sanctuary on the water.
Imagine the sound of a 40-ton giant breaching just meters away while you sip a cold drink on a cushioned deck. This isn’t just a rental; it’s a core memory.
Why Choose a Private Yacht with Fintastic PV?
Front-Row Seating, Every Time: No crowds, no obstructed views. Our yachts offer 360-degree visibility, perfect for capturing that once-in-a-lifetime breach on camera.
Expert Navigation: Our captains are seasoned locals who know exactly where the “hot spots” are, from the Marietas Islands to the deep blue of the south bay.
Comfort: Forget plastic benches. Enjoy clean restrooms, shaded lounge areas, snacks, and a dedicated crew to your group’s every need.
Ethical Viewing: We respect the giants. Fintastic PV follows all mexican whale-watching regulations to ensure the whales are safe and comfortable while we observe.
* While Mother Nature doesn’t give out guarantees, Banderas Bay is one of the most concentrated breeding grounds in the world. During peak season (Jan–March), we have a 90% success rate. Our captains coordinate with a local network of spotters to put you exactly where the action is.
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!

Captain Alonzo and first mate Sergio provided a great Puerta Vallarta fishing experience for our family. We caught many Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, and a Green Runner. 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!
