The El Pescador is back for charters out of its current home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Captain Larry Lionetti has spent the last 5 years using the boat for personal use, strictly targeting Yellowfin Tuna at the hot spots in proximity to Puerto Vallarta. Now he is offering the use of the El Pescador for bareboat charters Captained by Steve Torres, a well known and seasoned fisherman of Puerto Vallarta. He is a two time World Billfish Series champion (2000 & 2006).  He also holds the record for the largest Black Marlin caught in Mexico at 1,270 lbs. Prior to that the vessel has been berthed in San Francisco, Monterey, San Diego, and Cabo San Lucas, where it was used for personal use along with chartered fishing trips. 

The 50 foot Delta was custom designed in the Pacific Northwest boasting a commercial hull with the ability to handle utilitarian work but at the same time has all the personal necessities. It has a walkaround configuration that allows anglers to play multiple fish at a time, and multiple does not mean 2-3, it means as many anglers are hooked up.
