Master Baiter´s Sportfishing and Tackle - Marina Vallarta - 48335 Puerto Vallarta

I have been using Master Baiter's for the past 20 years. Always catch fish, always a great captain and crew that speak excellent English. Looking forward to our trip in April... Stan, get ready my friend.

I would highly recommend, I have fished with other companies for years in PV and Master Baiter’s has been my best experience and best value. You can trust Stan, he’s focused on the fishing and has lots of options for boats. He posts regular, accurate fish reports on his site (nobody else takes the time to do this)

I went in to Masterbaiters to book 3 days of fishing. First of all I must say Stan is like a used car salesman. He’s arrogant, doesn’t run any of the boats or is a captain on any of them. When he started to tell me the prices of the boats and was going over things, he then began to talk about the very high marina prices and how it’s $2000 for a 45 ft slip ( not including power etc.) ya right! He says he won’t jerk you around, but that’s all he was doing. Jerking up the prices. I know this because I grew up around boats and marinas my whole life. He would rather tell his stories about how great he is and what tournaments he has won, but won’t get to the point. His prices are double of everyone else’s prices at the marina. And worst of all is he thinks he’s gods gift to fishing and the ambassador for Puerto Vallarta fishing. Yet he doesn’t own or run a boat out here. Please save yourself a headache and fish with anyone else. This guy will rip you off and treat you wrong. Read the other reviews, they speak for themselves. Check out yelp. Horrible things said. The guy seemed great at first until his true colors came out.

We did a 10 hour trip in March 2018 and caught a striped marlin and sailfish, which exceeded our expectations. Stan met us at the marina and got us onto our boat. Language was not a barrier and we had a great time with the two man crew. During our trip we saw whales and porpoises. We scheduled a six hour harbor trip a two days later and caught plenty of Jack Crevales. Will use them again this March 2019. Love their name and tee shirts. Pictures on my desktop and using my laptop. Maybe Stan can post them?

Stan is the man... great fishing charter service. Definetly recommended by us!

Had a great experience from start to finish!! Super professional and accommodating. Stan and Benjamin made sure the fishing trip worked for me since I was on my own. Paired me with another great dude and we had an awesome day with a great crew!! Super amazing views and caught a bunch of fish. Awesome super fun time! Will definitely be going again and highly recommend Master Baiters for activity needs in Vallarta.

Four of us did a six hour fishing day. From the time we booked the trip until the time we walked off of the boat, our experience was fantastic. Benjamin was super helpful, worked around our schedule, took care of getting our lunch and was very knowledgeable. The boat was clean and comfortable. The captain and crew put us on fish and were fun to hang out with. We had a 7 foot sail fish to the boat, caught 12-15 skip jacks and we landed a beautiful mahi mahi that fed our family of 11 that night. Highly recommend these guys!

I booked 4 days with these guys on a super panga and they did a great job! Stan set me up on the Que Pasa with Capt. Pablo & 1st Mate Gael and they really worked hard to put me on fish in tough conditions. There was a lot of dirty water in close and they burned a lot of gas on my behalf finding clean, blue water. I always worry about the quality of tackle when using an outfit for the first and these guys have top notch equipment, Penn International, Avet & Accurate reels & Momoi line. They worked with me and we fished for the species I wanted to fish for each day, and most importantly these were just good guys that were fun to fish with. If you’re a fisherman you know that the key to a fun trip is how the time is when you’re not catching fish and Pablo & Gael were awesome! Highly recommend.
