The Damifino

If you are looking for a quick and inexpensive fishing excursion with a small group of two or three anglers, panga fishing is the ideal charter for you. Pangas are smaller, more maneuverable boats that have the flexibility to fish close to shore, above reefs, and even offshore. Puerto Vallarta’s convenient location on the deep abundant waters of Banderas Bay (Bahia de Banderas) allows for a short trip out to some of the finest fishing grounds in the world. Our twenty-four foot Mako center console craft has a deep v-hull for better stability when cutting through rougher waters. The dual ninety horsepower outboards give this vessel the power and speed to quickly transport you to the best fishing spots around Puerto Vallarta. Whether you want to fish the deepwater on the edge of Banderas Bay near the Pacific Ocean, or you want to try your hand at light tackle fishing near the abundant underwater structure in Bahia de Banderas, which is known for its abundant reefs and both granite and volcanic formations below the surface, this charter is for you. The center-console style fishing boat allows for more movement around the deck, which is especially helpful when fishing around structure. You won’t have to worry about crossing your lines with this open-deck setup. Although this vessel is a smaller craft, it comes equipped with a head (toilet), and modern electronic equipment, including GPS and VHF radio.

You’ll also enjoy the personalized service on one of our panga outings. Our friendly bilingual captains have logged many years guiding vacationers to the prime fishing spots in the area. Whether you are looking to chase deep sea game such as Sailfish, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, or Dorado (also called Mahi Mahi or Dolphin Fish), or trying your hand at light tackle while angling for Wahoo, Jacks, Mackeral, Snapper, Pargo or Grouper, our savvy captain will guide you to a successful panga fishing charter.
