South of Cancun lies Playa del Carment with its gorgeous beaches and coral reefs. More importantly, the area offers wonderful opportunities for some offshore fishing. Whether you are a professional angler or a beginner, Element Sportfishing will give you the experience of a lifetime.
Their fishing trips also include activities like snorkeling the reefs with stingrays and turtles – a breathtaking break between fishing sessions.

You’ll be cruising the azure waves on board the Argos offshore sportfishing model from 2009. It is 29’ and it can accommodate up to 8 guests. For anglers who want to do some trolling outriggers and downriggers are available. The boat is equipped with a single Yamaha engine that can reach top speeds of 45 kn. You’ll be reaching your offshore hotspots in no time!

This charter covers offshore locations that include reefs and wrecks. The fish bites all year round. In colder months you’ll probably encounter amberjack, while in warmer seasons you can tackle the feisty Mahi Mahi and several types of Marlin. A variety of fishing techniques are at your disposal, like trolling or deep-sea fishing. What’s more, if you’re up to it you can do some spearfishing.

Families with children are welcome and don’t miss the opportunity to use the onboard snorkeling equipment. You can do some sensational snorkeling during your fishing break. In case you get thirsty, the crew offers refreshments. As for the Mexico fishing license and the necessary fishing gear, the charter’s got you covered. If you get lucky with your catch, the crew will gladly help you with cleaning and bagging.

Experience the natural beauties of the local waters in the Playa del Carmen. Get yourself a fishing adventure of a lifetime and book Element Sportfishing.

3/4 Day Trip

Awesome Captain.

GECONTROLEERD

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!

Great Day at Sea!

GECONTROLEERD

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!

Half Day Trip

We caught plenty of fish at an off time of year!

GECONTROLEERD

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!
