for everything
We know what it is like to lose power 120 miles offshore with no back up and no epirb. We’ve been up rivers at 2am with no running lights and no GPS. We’ve found once-in-a-lifetime fishing spots but caught nothing thanks to low quality equipment.
We finally had enough of sketchy sportfishing, and that’s why we started Arrecho. We offer the most exciting, safe, and smart sportfishing in Puerto Vallarta, MX. For beginners and experts alike.
