Playa Del Carmen is a premier fishing and holiday destination for good reason; not only can you relax on the gorgeous beaches and swim in the crystal waters, but also go after some of the most exciting game off the coast of Mexico. AAA Charters & Adventures does just that – they’ll give you great comfort and security with adrenaline-pumping action just waiting at the other end of the line!
Climb aboard their luxury 46’ long Bertram, able to carry up to 10 anglers in comfort and style. She is powered by twin Detroit diesel engines with each one providing 450 HP worth of power – enough to allow her to cruise at a max speed of 25 knots. You won’t lack any comfort on board the “Hukilau”, with an A/C cabin, full-head toilet, shower, and kitchen available. Serious fishing requires serious equipment and the Hukilau doesn’t disappoint: outriggers, downriggers, and a fighting chair are there to give you an edge when fishing.
The crew of AAA Charters & Adventures consists of extremely skilled local captains. Their first priority is your enjoyment, whether by preparing fresh ceviche on board or helping you master your cast. They’ll help you go after a variety of local prestigious species such as the Blue and White Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Kingfish, or others. You can expect to do a variety of fishing techniques like jigging, spinning, and bottom fishing with light and heavy tackle, as well as trolling.
Water and sodas are available for the customers, free of charge. The 6 and 8-hour trips also have sandwiches and baguettes included in the price. All Billfish are catch and release only. The crew will clean, fillet, and bag your catch, so gratuity is very appreciated. Please note that there’s a $10 per person pier fee that’s due (in cash) on the day of your trip. There’s no minimum age for children and the crew invite anglers of all ages to join them on this exciting fishing adventure!

Half Day Trip (PM)
We went on a 5-hour fishing trip and caught several fish. The crew was simply exceptional. They didn’t leave anything to chance, changing the bait right up until the last minute to try and catch more fish. They did everything to make this experience unforgettable. Not to mention Carlos, the captain, who is professional and fantastic. The boat is in excellent condition and really spacious. I highly recommend it! You can go with your eyes closed.

Half Day Trip (AM)
We did a 4 hour trip, and had a great time. Captain and crew were helpful and a lot fun to be around. We caught a couple Bonita Tuna and a big Wahoo. The crew even walked us over to a local restaurant in Puerto Aventuras after our trip and asked the chef to cook our fresh catch. Couldn’t have asked for more, and wish we could have spent more time in Puerto Aventuras. Would definitely do another charter with Carlos and his crew again!!

Had a prior trip booked which got cancelled last minute. Captain Juan jumped thru hoops to get us a charter boat with A/C the morning prior to our date. He was so accommodating and flexible and set up everything from the transportation, food and drinks, to the trip. Crew was awesome and explained everything. Oh yeah... AND WE CAUGHT FISH!!! Thanks so much will be booking again!!

Special 8 hours trip for Israel Calverley
We caught 5 mahi mahi, 6 barracuda, 1 Bonita (should have been 2) but a mackerel ate the 2nd when we were trying to get it into the boat, and a sailfish. The crew was was amazing, they seem very experienced, and they were all very professional. The lunch they made was solid, I would say the experience was worth the money. I would highly recommend them.

Full Day Trip
They took our family out fishing for the day and made sure there was never anything we wanted that we didn’t get. We caught trophy size barracuda, and 12 other fish. The food they served us on board was excellent. They spoke good English and they worked hard to make sure that all the lines were always in the water with good bait. I’ve been on many other fishing trips in this region and this stands out far above the rest. I highly recommend..
