    awesome trip!

    6 Hour Trip on June 16, 2026 • 2 adults

    What an incredible day on the water! Huge thanks to Russell, Lucero, and Juan for putting us right on the fish from the start. These guys worked hard all day to keep us on the bite, and it paid off big time. We ended up catching a pile of bonito, a nice grouper, and two great snapper to top it off. What really set this trip apart was the service and hospitality. On the ride back to the marina, the crew prepared fresh sashimi from our catch, and it was absolutely outstanding. It doesn't get much better than enjoying fresh fish while cruising back after a successful day on the water. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking crew that knows where the fish are and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great experience, I highly recommend fishing with Russell, Lucero, and Juan. We'll definitely be back!

    Great trip!

    6 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on May 24, 2026 • 3 adults

    We started off the trip catching bait fish, reeling Bonitas in three at a time! The water was a little rock-n-roll in deeper water and my teen got a little sick! The Captain made a suggestion to go back to shallow water and this was a good option. The water was calmer and we started catching Barracudas! My son reeled in a big one that measured 58" and probably sixty plus pounds! The Captain kept us on the fish and the deck hands worked their tails off keeping lines in the water! There were times when we were reeling in more than one fish at a time! They had plenty of cold drinks and made sure we felt welcome onboard! We used Uber to and from the marina which was around $55 round trip total and about 25-30 min from the North Central end of the Hotel District. Cell Phones work once you get back to the marina gate! There is a security gate to get into the resort/marina, don't let them try to drop you off outside the gate, its still a 1/4 mile to the marina! We will definitely be back and in search of a Mahi-mahi next time! Just no ice cream for the kid pre-trip next time!

    Honestly, best charter in years.

    6 Hour Trip on July 16, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    We caught 40+ fish and almost a dozen game fish. These guys are incredible. We spent the first couple of hours catching bait fish 2-3 at a time and moved on to great barracuda. E ends up fishing past our chatter time and just rolling through the reefs. These guys love to fish and I was happy to be along for the ride. We had nothing to eat when it. Was all over because we blew through the bait fish and were using smaller cud as to catch bigger ones. What a fricking day!!!

    Great Fishing Charter Experience

    8 Hour Trip on August 22, 2026 • 7 adults

    We had a great time on the 8-hour fishing charter. We caught mahi mahi, giant barracudas, rainbow fish, amberjack, and bonita. The crew was friendly and took good care of us throughout the day. They provided plenty of beverages and sandwiches, and they even prepared fresh ceviche for us on the boat, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a really good experience, and we’d definitely recommend this charter. We’ll be back next time we’re in the area.

    Amazing Crew, Beautiful Boat, and a First-Class Fishing Experience in Cancun

    8 Hour Trip on February 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    Here’s a polished review you can use (feel free to adjust tone or length): --- We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our fishing charter in Cancun! From start to finish, the captain and crew were incredible — professional, friendly, and clearly very experienced. The boat was beautiful, extremely clean, and well organized, with top-quality gear that made fishing comfortable and exciting. Even when some of us started feeling a bit seasick, the crew went above and beyond to make sure we were okay. They were attentive, supportive, and constantly checking in, offering helpful recommendations and anything we needed to feel better. Their care and hospitality truly stood out. Overall, it was an amazing day on the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better experience. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great fishing adventure in Cancun! 🎣🌊

The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, and the crew made the trip both exciting and safe. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, this charter delivers.

    What a great time!

    6 Hour Trip on December 21, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a great day with Captain Enrique and his crew. We arrived a little early, prepared to wait, but the crew was ready to go, which we appreciated! I have not spent much time fishing, but the first mate and other captain told me exactly what I needed to do. If you have never fished, this is still an adventure you can participate in because the crew is so helpful. We ended up catching 14 baraccuda and had a fantastic time. We will definitely book with Captain Enrique again if we get the opportunity!

    56” barracuda trophy fish!

    4 Hour Trip on August 3, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Such an amazing trip. We only did the 4 hr trip but it worked out good because we were all sea sick. We got a ton of bait fish and then headed over to barracuda fish. Ended up with a trophy of a barracuda that we’re having lined and sent home. We all caught at least 2 fish and the guys worked hard the whole time. Highly recommend.
