The Damifino Overview

If you and a few friends would like to enjoy a swift and economical fishing trip, panga fishing is a great option for you. Pangas are modest, more maneuverable crafts that have the trim profile to fish along the rocky coastline and over the reefs of Banderas Bay; our pangas also have the horsepower to carry anglers out for some deep sea fishing near the mouth of the Bay. Puerto Vallarta is conveniently located on Banderas Bay (Bahia de Banderas), which has plenty of sport-fish due to its abundant structure and remarkable depth. You will only have a brief voyage to reach some of the most abundant fishing waters on Earth. Our 24 foot Mako center-console boat has a v-hull design for improved stability for cutting through waves. The two outboard engines have a combined horsepower of one hundred and eighty, giving the Damfino the necessary power to quickly reach the best places to fish in the waters surrounding Puerto Vallarta. Whether you are interested in angling for pelagic in the deep water near the mouth of Banderas Bay, or prefer the bent-rod action of light tackle fishing at the reefs and granite formations, this excursion is for you. The center-console design lets anglers move around the deck more easily. You can maneuver around the boat to fish at structure and avoid crossing your fishing lines. This small vessel still has a toilet on board for your convenience and comfort. Another great perk of a panga excursion is the personalized service. With a limited amount of passengers, the captain can spend more time giving tips and tricks to each angler.
