Had a great trip on the Catch Later with Captain Umo and his crew.  We started out trolling but it was a bit slow, only caught a barracuda and a couple of bonito.  The crew suggested switching to bottom fishing, and the bonanza started.  Caught ~ 17 keepers in total, including a huge yellowtail snapper, and a similarly sized dog snapper, with a nice jack fish to close out the day.

Captain Umo and the crew were competent, friendly, and kept the fish on the line all day.  Will choose them for my next trip.

After reading many reviews and messaging several charter companies, we decided to book a full day trip for our family of five with AAA Charters and Adventures out of Puerto Aventuras. We stopped by the Marina the day before to ensure that we would not have any issues locating our boat the next morning. Captain Juan Carlos, the AAA manager, met us to show us the boat and visit about our expectations. After discussing, Capt Carlos offered to upgrade the trip (for a small price increase) from the 32’ boat to a 46’ as a scheduled trip had been canceled. We gladly accepted and went to see the boat and got to meet the crew as they had just returned from an afternoon snorkel trip. The boat was immaculate and the equipment outstanding. On fishing day, we arrived to find the boat fully prepped and ready to go. The crew, Capt Heber and mates Mundo and Pablo, were as knowledgeable, professional and courteous as anyone I have met in the fishing world (we are a Texas coastal family and have owned boats my entire life). Because we were targeting billfish, the crew had lines in the water as we cleared the marina jetty. We caught a dozen or so Mahi and one nice Sailfish and the crew worked hard to keep lines in the water up until the very last minute of the trip. We took a lunch break to snorkel a reef with Pablo as a guide. We got to swim with sea turtles and massive stingrays on the way to the reef where we enjoyed seeing all kinds of aquatic life. Upon return to the boat, we were greeted with fresh-made Mahi Ceviche and a great lunch. By the time lunch was finished, the boat was already on the move and lines in the water. I can not speak more highly of this charter company or crew. We left feeling not only that we had a great trip but that we had made friends for life! AAA will always be my first choice when fishing the Playa del Carmen area.

Juan, captain and crew went above and beyond to make our trip exceptional.  We had booked for Tuesday morning but the weather wasn’t optimal so Juan moved us to Friday for better seas which it was.  The trolling produced a mahi but was a bit slow, due to the time of year not for lack of trying. The captain took us to a bottom fishing spot where we were able to catch a terrific variety of fish.  Thanks to the wonderful boat crew we had five exceptional fish dinners during the second week of our trip.  Alex made us a delicious beautifully plated lunch.  They worked hard and were able to create a very positive experience.  I wouldn’t hesitate to go out with them again.

We had an awesome day out with these guys…they hustle to put you on the fish! The trolling bite was still slow after the hurricane, so we quickly switched it up to bottom fishing and caught 3 different types of beautiful snapper, a trigger fish, and a few others.  The crew was friendly and hooked up sandwiches and some of the best guacamole I’ve had. I highly recommend these guys…thanks for a great trip!

This trip was AMAZING. We caught 5 fish in the first 40 minutes. One of the 5 was a MONSTER fish. Total fish in our trip was 9. All were Mahi Mahi. The mates were extremely hard working, very friendly, and very professional The captain was very professional and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed it so much that we booked another trip before we left the dock and requested to have the same crew for an eventful and exciting trip the same week. We are HOOKED on this boat, this captain, and this crew😁
