Best Deep sea fishing trip of my life!
Full Day Trip on September 2, 20262 adults

Absolutely the best deep-sea fishing trip I’ve ever been on! We caught a mahi-mahi, several kingfish, and barracuda. roughly 15 total fish. and they were all huge! The captain and crew were awesome and easily one of the hardest-working crews I’ve ever seen. They worked nonstop to keep us on fish and make sure we had a great time. The captain even made us fresh ceviche right on the boat from our catch, which was incredible. They went above and beyond by cleaning and packaging our catch! Great fishing, great crew, and an experience we’ll never forget. I will 100% book with them again!

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda
King Mackerel (Kingfish)
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Fantastic Trip!
3/4 Day Trip on July 24, 20263 adults2 children

Captain Jamie and two crewmembers were fantastic and very accommodating. First thing I noticed was how clean and neat the boat was. Next, the rods and reels were very nice with fresh line. I've been on other fishing trips where the boat and rods and reels looked old and out dated and the line yellowed and frayed. Not this trip! This had my hopes high for the 6 hour trip with my wife and 9yo son. The crew managed to catch live bait as we were idling out of the marina. No wasted time there. After a short ride, we had about 12 nice amberjacks in the first hour of fishing! The rest of the day was spent trolling and finally bottom fishing as I had requested. We ended up with a boat load of fish! Arms tired, slightly sunburned, I enjoyed several cold beverages on the short ride back to the marina. Almost forgot to mention the ceviche which was a delicious snack. I've been on many trips when it seemed as though the crew was simply interested in taking our money and not so much fishing. This was absolutely not the case with these guys! My family had a blast and the crew made sure my wife and son had an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this trip!!!

Great trip and crew
3/4 Day Trip on July 25, 20264 adults4 children

The crew worked really hard to keep the lines clear of sargassum and were on top of everything. The crew did most of the active fishing and we did the catching- not what we are used to but we adapted. we understand that most people do not know how to rig and set downriggers and outriggers. they have a great system and the experience shines through. The captain got on some fish during the slower and harder to fish season. Overall a great experience and we plan to return in the future during peak pelagic season for sails.

What a crew!
Full Day Trip on April 10, 20263 adults1 child

My family had the pleasure of fishing with Big Boss and her crew for a full 8 hour day. Our focus was on larger game, primarily Mahi Mahi, Marlin and Sailfish. Although no Marlin or Sailfish were caught, we did get 3 very large Mahi Mahi, one of which took nearly 30 minutes to battle to the boat. These guys put everything they had into trying to load our boat up. The ceviche the crew created with our Mahi Mahi was out of this world, and was devoured by our family. We plan on heading back in April again, and will definitely hire Big Boss' crew.

Reported catch:

Stunning Sailfish!
Full Day Trip on April 24, 20262 adults

Great day fishing. Slow start mainly due to the slightly choppy seas. Crew constantly trying different lures and tactics to increase chances. As soon as the conditions flattened out the fish arrived. King mackerel first ,then a Personal best Barracuda and finally a magnificent Sailfish around 140 pounds (again a Personal best). Didn't get my Marlin (knew it was a long shot)but what a fantastic day. The Captain made us a delicious Cerviche lunch from the King Mackerel .The Sailfish was returned alive although Trophy Taxidermy is available, just not my thing. Highly recommended 👌

Since I was a kid, I liked fishing. I live in a fishing village of Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico, in which I grew up happy with ropes, boats, hooks, and fishing on the dock every day. When I was 12 years old, I had my first boat to take care of as I now take care of my fishing boats. I started participating in fishing tournaments in the municipality and the state — I won several tournaments, such as 'Andres Garcia Lavin' in Puerto Morelos (1st place), 'Riviera Maya International Tournament' in Playa del Carmen, 'Prof. Augusto R. Sosa Centeno' (1st place), 'Copa Capitan Ferrat International' in Cancun (1st place), and 'Rodeo de Lanchas Mexicanas' in Cozumel (1st place). I have also passed to the National of Mazatlan and participated in the World Cup.
