Puerto Vallarta: Fishing Pami I 27 – A Detailed Review

Planning a fishing trip in Puerto Vallarta? You’re in for a treat with the PAMI I, a sleek 27′ Striper 2601 center console boat. This tour, offered by Puerto Vallarta Net, costs around $924 for up to 6 guests, making it an appealing choice for small groups or families looking for a personalized adventure. The experience can range from a quick 4-hour excursion to a full-day 10-hour outing, giving you flexibility based on your energy and interest.
What we love about the PAMI I is its combination of modern amenities and experienced bilingual crew, ensuring both comfort and expert guidance on the water. The boat’s design, with a wide bow and plenty of shade, makes for a comfortable ride, even during those hot midday hours. Plus, the fact that it’s well-equipped with top-quality fishing gear and safety features means you can focus on the fun and not worry about logistics.
One potential consideration is the maximum capacity of 6 guests—if you’re traveling with a larger group, this might require splitting into smaller trips. Also, some meeting points like “El Anclote” or “La Cruz de Huanacaxtle” incur extra fees, so it’s good to factor that into your planning. This tour suits those seeking a personalized, flexible fishing experience with a focus on comfort and quality gear.
If you love the idea of trying your hand at catching Roosterfish, Snappers, Mahi Mahi, or even Marlin, this tour is definitely worth considering. It’s perfect for small groups, families, or friends eager for a day on the water with a professional crew guiding the way.
