Steel n Time

Marina Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit, Mexico Up to 22 guests 4-hour minimum

Book this boat for

Steel n Time is the flagship: a classic 53-foot Hatteras sport fisher with twin Detroit 900 HP diesels. She is the most comfortable boat in the fleet by a wide margin — two full cabins, a full kitchen, a proper salon and three air conditioners, so on a hot day there is always somewhere cool to sit down.

Shade, air conditioning and sun, all on the same boat. The cockpit is shaded by the deck above it, the salon is enclosed and cold, and the big foredeck is wide open for sunbathing. With room for 22 guests she is the one for larger groups and celebrations, and she is the only boat in the fleet rated for multi-day fishing trips — up to 3 days at sea, sleeping up to 8 adults.

What you can do with this boat

You pick the day. The same boat and crew will run a fishing charter, a snorkel stop, a beach day at Las Ánimas or Yelapa, a sunset cruise, whale watching in season, or a private party — and most of our guests combine two or three of them in the same charter. Tell us what you want when you book and we build the route around it.

What Our Guests Say

Manny did a really great job on our fishing trip. He was very kind, patient and you could tell he wanted to make sure we had a nice time. He took us fishing, snorkeling and to a beach. We even had little children with us (10,7,2) and manny and aldo were very helpful with them. They even made us ceviche from the fish we caught!

What an awesome experience in puerto Vallarta. Ride a ATV in the jungle, and travel in the sea in a nice boat. The Guide, the prices, the service were wonderful. I would recommend them to all!

My husband and I had a fabulous time fishing with Dave and his wonderful deck hand(sorry not sure how to spell her name). The boat is great, comfortable, spacious and clean. For me I fish for my husband, sure I like to play a few fish but then just love the boat ride. This trip was the perfect balance. We saw so many whales. And got into alot of fish. We felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed the day!!

This is such a great time, sure to be the highlight of your trip! Dave is warm, welcoming, and professional but you leave feeling like you spent the day with an old friend. This is a wonderful way to spend a day in Puerta Vallarta and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
