What a fishing charter costs in Puerto Vallarta

The number everyone wants first: four hours starts at $1,250 on Ándale (50ft, up to 20 guests) and $1,450 on Catch Me (60ft, up to 25). Eight-hour days are $2,100 and $2,550.

Those are whole-boat prices, not per person. Split across a group, the math changes completely — a full boat of friends pays less each than a single angler on a shared cattle boat, and gets the entire boat, crew, and itinerary to themselves.

Extra hours run $275–$285 if the bite is on and nobody wants to leave, which happens more than people admit beforehand.

What's included: private boat, private crew, all tackle, bait, and licenses. What's not: getting yourself to Marina Vallarta, and whatever you drink — bring it aboard.

Full breakdown on the charters page. And if the question behind the question is "is it worth it" — that's what the fishing calendar is for. Match the fish to the month first, then pick the boat.
