The Barbara Overview

When the competition becomes fierce in a big-money offshore tourney, only the finest charter captains consistently bring home a trophy prize. Our savvy captain and charter staff have moneyed in more than one Puerto Vallarta angling tournament, including the world-renowned Bisbee Black and Blue Competition, the Marlin and Tuna International Tourney of Rivera Nayarit, and the prestigious Manzanillo Sailfish Event. If the Barbara’s personnel can succeed under the pressure of pro competitions, they can guide you and your group to success while fishing offshore form Puerto Vallarta. On your fishing expedition into Bahia de Banderas and the Pacific, you will be able to benefit from the plentiful wisdom and experience of our English-speaking staff.

The waters surrounding the vacation paradise of Puerto Vallarta are resplendent with an abundance of fighting game fish species. Don’t miss your opportunity to enjoy fishing in some of the globe’s best fishing waters. The tepid serene waters of Bahia de Banderas converge with the deep-water currents of the ocean to produce an idyllic environment for trophy game-fishing. The abundant fishing grounds near Puerto Vallarta boast four types of billfish, including sailfish, as well as blue, black, and striped marlin.
