A perfect day out on the water with great company and an even better catch. The mahi-mahi didn’t stand a chance today! Nothing beats enjoying nature and coming back with fresh fish. Who’s in for the next adventure

Barracuda in the boat!

Very good boys! Great fishing today!

something big has taken the bait

Mei 23, 2025 Playa del Carmen

The battle was intense: the fish pulled powerfully, vibrating the rod and demanding every muscle of the angler. For long minutes, they took turns controlling the fish. The fish jumped, turned, and dived powerfully, while the angler held on, focused and determined.

Barracudas today!

HALF DAY FISHING TRIP AM

Booked a 4 hour charter with Captain Javier & 1st mate Raymond. I was hoping on being a little more involved with setting the hook when line yanked from outrigger. You basically just reel the fish in which is still fun when the fish give you a fight. Overall a good experience for under $300 US.

We did catch fish and that’s most important. The boat is not what you expect when “Chartering” as fishing trip (think the Somali pirates’ boat that took Tom Hanks’ ship), and the crew does not speak English. They are polite and do try. We caught barracuda and yellow snapper and paid less than the other guys for the 2 of us to go fishing. We had fun and saved money.

GECONTROLEERD

The ad showed a young man holding up a big fish. And the boat was supposed to be larger. We were picked up in a very small boat (may 12 foot) and the captain was an old man. The boat was so small and the water was a little choppy, so we were all queasy. The Captain turned the boat around and dropped us off at the beach with no refund. Very disappointing.

Hello again, Jacquie. We’re sorry you couldn’t enjoy the fishing trip due to your seasickness. We tried to take you another day at a great discount, but it wasn’t possible for you. As for the size of the boat, I’m sorry you thought it was small, but it’s 25 feet, as my license says. I can’t provide service on a different boat. You can check our permits and boat types; we have all our licenses active. I’m sharing a photo of other clients who went with us that same day. We hope to... More
