3/4 Day Trip
This charter was awesome. As the fish were not biting, the captain worked hard to still provide fun to the group so ge took us to a private, beautiful cenote on an island where we swam and took awesome photos. He then allowed us to snorkel at a reef, providing all the snorkeling equipment. The captain and assistant tried hard to put us on fish, but the external conditions were not quite right for it. The captain is super friendly, full of knowledge, and fun to talk to and hang out with. The crew was very attentive to our groups needs. Fish or no fish, I would use this charter again!

My family had a blast on our trip. Israel did an amazing job helping us snorkel and took great care with our 6-year-old daughter, and helped her have a great time! My son loved the fishing part of our trip, and we even caught a barracuda(which made the other boats jealous). Finally, they helped to prepare the fish for lunch, which we ate on the beach. The whole experience was the highlight of our trip to Mexico. Cannot recommend enough!

I've been coming to Playa Del Carmen for over 40 years. I remember when it was just a sleepy fishing village! I always come during the winter- usually January and February. People always say "As a fisherman, you should come down here during April and May- the fishing is fantastic!" But, that is just not possible for me. I always take charters when I am here however, and even though we didn't hook a Marlin, we had some Bonito, hooked a Sierra and lost it and got a bunch of bottom fish to take home for dinner! It was a beautiful day and the captain and mate worked real hard to put us on fish. That is all that matters!

We loved the trip. Coming in the off season we weren’t expecting to catch much but we caught 5 yummy fish! Mario, captain, is kind, personable and extremely knowledgeable. Manuel was great as well! Very laid back atmosphere which is exactly what we were looking for. Caught the sunrise and enjoyed a beautiful morning on the water which is what it’s all about! We took our fish to the restaurant located right where you get in the boat. Watched Manuel fillet all of them right on the beach, hand it to the chef, and then ate a delicious platter of food. We were a groups of 8 and it fed us all well! Highly recommend this experience. It really gives you a feel of the local fishing community and culture which was awesome to see. We will 100% be booking with Mary Sue again!
