Puerto Vallarta is considered one of the top fishing destinations in the world for deep sea fishing. The waters off the coast of PV are prime grounds for catching big game fish. Common catches include sailfish, marlin (blue, black, and striped), mahi-mahi (dorado), roosterfish, wahoo, and more. Deep sea fishing charters take anglers miles offshore where they can reel in trophy fish. Many charter companies offer deep sea fishing trips ranging from 4 hours to full days offshore. The prime fishing grounds of El Morro, La Cortabeña, and El Banco are all easily accessible from Puerto Vallarta.
