About Your Trip

Get ready for an action-packed 4-hour inshore fishing adventure with Captain Hector in the stunning waters of Banderas Bay, Puerto Vallarta! Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned angler looking for some light-tackle thrills, this quick-hit trip is the perfect way to get on the water and start bending rods.

Banderas Bay is a rich inshore playground, teeming with life—and this trip gives you front-row access to some of the most exciting species the Pacific has to offer. On your outing, you'll be targeting hard-fighting Jack Crevalle, lightning-fast Spanish Mackerel, colorful Mahi Mahi (Dorado), and the always fun-to-catch Skipjack Tuna and Needlefish. Fish here typically range between 5 and 25 pounds, which makes for steady action and a great opportunity to test your skills.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 28’ center console that’s built for versatility and speed, making it the ideal vessel to chase down inshore feeders or set up a solid drift. Equipped for bottom fishing, trolling, light tackle, and drift fishing, Captain Hector will tailor the game plan based on what’s biting and your fishing style. Whether you’re trolling along the current lines for Mahi or setting up for a bait-and-wait with live bait rigs, you’re in for some serious fun.

This charter includes everything you need for a seamless day on the water: top-quality fishing gear, live bait, lures, tackle, fishing licenses, and life jackets. There’s also a cooler packed with ice for your drinks and any snacks you bring along. Captain Hector and his crew are all about delivering a great time, and they'll handle everything so you can focus on the fishing—and the fun.

You can choose between a morning departure at 7:00 AM to catch the sunrise bite, or an afternoon run at 1:00 PM to make the most of those golden hours on the water.

Just bring your favorite snacks, sun protection, and a good attitude—Captain Hector will take care of the rest. Whether you’re chasing your first fish or just looking to squeeze some fun into a short window, this 4-hour Puerto Vallarta fishing trip is the perfect way to do it!
