The trip was not as we expected, there were very little engagement from us. It is mainly watching the crew try to fish for you. The crew couldn’t speak english and with the lack of fishing action, it made the experience not the greatest. The highlight of the trip was the restaurant at the end. The food was fresh and delicious!

We had an amazing trip with Jasmin charters! Our captain was Fernando, he was extremely nice, interesting, and helpful. Very well organized crew, and very good at what they do. We caught 8 barracuda, 1 spanish mackerel, and a giant snapper. We had a fantastic lunch and margaritas back at Captain Charly’s place (which is beautiful) before heading back. The ocean was rough but these guys could handle it. Fish on!

The crew were fantastic, very friendly and made the 4 hours incredibly fun. We met at an easy to find beach front restaurant which was lovely.

The best part for us was the crew took the fish we caught to a local restaurant and they were cooked for us in various ways. We brought the whole family there to enjoy them and only had to pay for drinks!

Honestly couldn’t recommend them enough, thank you guys!

The experience was good and the the two gentlemen on the boat were non stop busy keeping the rods baited and in the water. It didn’t take long and we had a fish on but got off close to the boat.(my fault for sure) A little while later we hooked into another and finally we had our first king mackerel in the boat. After trading off for who was up next we had another in the boat (barracuda). My daughter was up next and got to experience the pull of her salt water fish but unfortunately it came off.

Next was snorkelling at the reef near the ruins which was fantastic seeing sting rays and curious turtle’s but…. they should ensure the life jackets are available as it was rough water and difficult to swim for a not so experienced swimmer. The crew then landed the boat and Charly brought us to his restaurant ( El Capitano) for a delicious meal of ceviche and grilled barracuda.

It was a highlight for us all to experience the Caribbean fishing, its beauty and the hospitality by the boat hands and Charly.

My recommendations would be to get clear instructions for your meeting point at the launching area, and know some Spanish language because our crew could barely speak English. The WhatsApp might be your best option for communication with Charly because the FishingBooker App is not as efficient.

We started out trolling and caught 2 barracuda and a yellow tail snapper while the guides, Finelly and Gabriel, talked to us and shared their knowledge on many different topics like the Mayan ruins and some of the history of the places we passed. Then we snorkled and speared 12 lobster and came across a conch shell. It was neat. We pulled the meat out of it and returned the shell back to the ocean.  We ended up coming to a beautiful beach where Charly has a restaurant and they prepared our catch and presented it to is out on the beach and joined us for the feast. It was spectacular. It has been my favorite experience in Tulum so far. Highly recommend!!!
