When I hired a charter there it seemed like a rip off because of the 2 hour boat ride each way to get out of the Bay of Banderas to get to the outside. It only allowed 3 or 4 hours of fishing. I think it was $600 US for a day. You're way better off to drive past Nuevo Vallarta to find a charter closer to the outside.
A customer of mine gave a great tip. He wanted to catch a marlin. (catch and release) He told the Mexican Capt. that he would pay $100 US for each marlin they hooked and played. (over and above the regular fees) Instantly the Capt had the rods and reels that were on deck put away and others were brought from below. They took on extra fuel and passed all the other charter boats fishing closer to shore by many miles. They played and released 3 marlin on that trip. It cost him $300 US but he had the experience and saved money by not having to go out again and again trying to get his marlin experience. Cheap for him and a good pay day for the Mexican Capt and crew.
