I want to preface this that this is fishing. I usually try to go into these situations not expecting much action because if you do, a great disappointment is not out of the equation. Having said that, we went with the Guana Tuna and Captain Scooby on our Mexico Vacation during one of the worst fishing times of the year. We were elated to find that the Spanish Mackerel were biting and they were feisty. Capt Scooby did a great job of giving us the best opportunity to catch fish and a lot of them. We ended up having an amazing day. More importantly, he listened to what we wanted. For instance, I wanted to fish and not just get handed a rod when there was a bite. He took quick stock of my abilities and let me do my thing. My wife needed some help with the equipment and he was right there helping out. By the end of the second hour, we knew the bite had stopped and Capt Scooby offered some other alternatives for us. He offered snorkeling but we elected for a short boat ride down the coast and called it a day. While the boat was cruising along, Calt Scooby made THE BEST CEVICHE I have ever had. I was truly impressed by his skills as a fisherman, a boat operator, and as a local source of knowledge. His deckhand Mario was also very patient with my wife. I will definitely sign up with Scooby again.

Hi Tate It was great to meet and go fishing with You. Thanks for fishing with us and for taking the time to post a great review. Im glad you had successful day on the water. And We will see you next time! Thanks again
Let me start by saying this is my 6th time fishing in PV on different boats and the 5 previous times it’s always the same thing. Go to to southern part of the bay and troll. Sometimes never even touching a rod and never even catching a fish. I told Capt Scooby this and he made sure this wouldn’t be the same. We immediately started fishing after leaving the marina and within the first 15 minutes, all 4 of us reeled in a fish, 4 Spanish Mackerel (that was later turned into ceviche aboard the boat) and a needlefish. We then didn’t go south but stayed up north and bagged 9 or 10 Jack Crevalles. If you’re coming to fish in PV, fish with Capt Scooby! When I come back I’ll be booking with him again.

Had a great day fishing with captain Scooby and Mario. I’ve fished all over Mexico and this trip ranks up there as one of the best trips. Very professional crew,nice clean boat and lots of fish. I think in total we caught 12 Mahi Mahi and 1 bonito. If you are looking for a fishing trip in Puerto Vallarta, I highly recommend Guanatuna2 and captain Scooby.
Wow nice Mahi Mahis! Thanks again for choosing us for your fishing charter and writing such a great review we really appreciate it! I posted few more photos from your trip. Thanks again PV Hook Up
Dorado, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi-Mahi and Mexican Barracuda were the catches of the day! We brought in over 40 and kept two for lunch/dinner. Catch and release is super fun. Captain’s gear was in great condition and he worked hard to get us a good fishing experience. We even got on the trail of a sailfish but didn’t have luck bringing him in.
I’d recommend Captain Scooby to anyone. He’s safe on the water, a very good communicator and super fun to spend the day with.

Hi Andrea Thanks so much for fishing with us. Im glad you guys found some nice Mahi. Thanks again
My family and I had a GREAT TIME with Capt. Scooby !!!! When we met up with him we explained that we were not prepared. He quickly directed us to a convenience store less than half a block away so we could buy waters, sodas and snacks. He even ordered burritos for us on his phone which we picked up on the way to pick up live bait!!!! He’s a well known Capt, while moving thru the marina lots of other captains were greeting him. He has a really nice boat, well kept, clean, having a restroom on the boat was nice, everything worked, very nice tackle (2 speed reels) good safety equipment, very organized. Capt. Scooby was very honest, friendly & courteous. He had set up extra shade at the bow of the boat that kept my family very comfortable. He speaks very good english, we had good conversations. He knew alot about wildlife and all the landmarks we passed. Capt Scooby and his deck hand worked hard to make this trip a SUCCESS!!!! His deck hand was always busy changing out lures and live bait, We saw lots of Whales and turtles. I caught my first Striped Marlin!!!!!! My daughter caught some bonitas. The freshly prepared ceviche was Excellent, We all loved it !!!!!
Next time I’m in P.V. Im definitely going fishing with Capt Scooby again.
