WOW! WHAT A DAY!

6 Hour Trip (PM) on October 3, 2025 • 3 adults

From the time we arrived, to the time we got off the boat, the crew and captain took care of everything. Come drinks and snacks were waiting for us. And the fishing was fantastic. I booked this fishing charter for some time with my son's and it was awesome. The fish were biting and we had many times when there were two fish at the same time. We will definitely be back!

Knows how to find the fish you want to catch!

6 Hour Trip (PM) on April 3, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

It was a choppy day so we were upgraded to the larger Samaki II vessel for free. I would recommend the 6 or 8 hour trip if going after the big sportfish species. It's about an hour and half or so to the spot to start fishing. Overall was a great experience. We had several exciting hits from sailfish that didn't hook up, but then we were able to make it happen with a great fish at the tail end of the day. We also reeled in a nice bonita and a barracuda to keep it interesting during the day. Captain and crew were great, always asking if we needed anything. They definitely knew what they were doing, and how to handle the boat and tackle in the heavy chop.

Fishing with Samaki charters

8 Hour Trip on March 5, 2025 • 2 adults

My friend and I spent the day fishing with Samaki charters had an excellent day of fishing. We caught sailfish barracuda, and bonito. The captain and deckhand were both very good at their jobs and had us on good fish most of the day. I recommend the 8 hour trip so you have enough time to go out after trophy fish.we caught two trophy sailfish and really nice barracuda. The only issue we had with the entire trip was that the crew didn’t speak very much English and we don’t speak Spanish. Be sure you find out what fish are in season when you are down here so you know what to expect. Overall the trip and Samaki charters were excellent, I definitely recommend them to anyone.

Great Crew

6 Hour Trip (AM) on February 5, 2025 • 2 adults

Owner/Captain Enrique is very accommodating! We could not understand the conversation rate but he told us that off we are more comfortable then we can Zelle him. Capt of the boat for us was Eliseo and his deck hand was Oliver, they were both great! Water was very very choppy. We spent an hour in the deep, 8 Bonito’s later, Capt Eliseo felt sorry for us so he took us out to shallow areas to go after smaller fish. Caught a bunch of barracuda in the shallows. Had a great time because the crew was knowledgeable!!

Great fishing with Samaki

4 Hour Trip (PM) on December 28, 2024 • 3 adults

Pros: The boat is well maintained and clean. The crew knew exactly where to put us onto some fish. We caught a king mackerel and four very large barracudas. The crew was very professional. They keep a very clean vessel--rinsing and wiping every time bait was handled or fish were caught. One of our party members wanted the meat, so the crew filleted the fish for us on the dock when we returned. Cons: The marina doesn't have adequate parking. We were over 90 min. early, and we had to find alternative parking (We had to tip the ground keeping crew from a neighboring property to let us park there). I suggest you take a cab or Uber to the marina. We had a late start. The boat didn't get back from the morning fishing trip and had to refuel. When we finally got started, we were over an hour late. The captain and team were apologetic and did make up the lost time at the end. Conclusion: My teen sons and I had a great day fishing with Samaki. I would recommend Samaki to anyone looking for a good fishing charter experience in the Cancun area.
