Happy Fisherman Charters
Explore the untouched crystal clear waters of the Caribbean with Happy Fisherman Charters. Offshore from the deser island of Cozumel, you'll be alone for miles as you target enormous exotic fish in the open seas. Captain Alfonso Novelo is a 3rd generation fisherman from the island, so has salt water in his blood. He knows all the best spots and tricks to catch the biggest, and can't wait to show you his secrets.
Leave the beaches behind aboard a luxurious 33' Stapelton flybridge boat. Powered by a 285 HP Caterpillar 3208 engine, you'll whizz to the hottest spots with only one thing in mind: fishing fun. The boat is comfortably furnished and you can take advantage of the multi-media system and connect your tunes. With drinks, including beers and Margaritas, served by the first mate, you'll be glad there's a toilet on board too.
When you reach the productive waters, you'll troll from the onboard outriggers. Make use of the flybridge to spot your target fish, and settle into the fighting chair as you battle it out against a monster. From January thru July, magnificent Marlin and stunning Sailfish will be on offer. These are prized catches for even the most experienced of anglers, so you'll have a great story to tell.
There are plenty of other exciting species to target too, and you can try bottom fishing for some world-famous fish. The rapid Barracuda and tough-fighting Wahoo will be a match for anyone after biting the end of the line. You could also catch plenty of Tuna, just be prepared for a huge struggle to reel in the biggest of them.
Whether it's a delicious fish, or a great story to tell, you won't leave empty-handed. The crew will clean and prepare your catch at the end of the day for you to take to a restaurant. After a long workout, settle down with a drink in hand and not a care in the world! Longer trips even include a feast of sandwiches and guacamole. A true Mexican experience awaits with Happy Fisherman Charters!

Like any real fishing trip you have to catch fish and the big one has to get away. In this case we got two nice first time mahi-mahi for two young anglers and the experienced old guy lost a nice white marlin. Good captain and deck hand. Humered me and used a couple of my lures. One landed one of the mahi-mahi.
Had a great time and we did catch fish. Crew was very friendly. No complaints, I would fish with them again.
Thank you, Steve! We're glad to hear you had a great time and were able to catch some fish. It was a pleasure having you aboard. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to the crew. Hope to fish with you again next time you're in Cozumel!
These guys tried their hardest for a catch. The weather was not in our favor but these guys made it a fun trip.
Thank you, Tyler! We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. The weather certainly made things challenging that day, but we're glad our crew was able to make the trip enjoyable and keep working hard to find fish. Conditions on the water can change quickly, and while we can't control the weather, we always do our best to give our guests the best possible experience. It was a pleasure having you aboard the Happy Fisherman, and we hope to welcome you back to Cozumel for another adventure under calmer skies! Tight lines and safe travels,
Booked on short notice, the crew made accommodations for us. Crew was there to catch fish, which we did plenty of. Great experience for the family and I. Thanks!
Thank you very much Daniel,

Your captain
My experience in sportfishing began with my grandfather and my father who are men of the sea. Of course, they are very recognized captains on the island of Cozumel. What started as a hobby became work that we enjoyed a lot. Since I was a child, sportfishing was instilled in me, and I'm delighted to continue doing it. Sportfishing is my passion, but I adhere to the rules of safety and care of the environment. These are essential rules that must be followed all the time. Going out fishing with the Happy Fisherman crew, you'll have the opportunity to get the best specimens of each species as well as having a nice time on the open seas. We have the best sportfishing equipment. You won't have to worry, the fishing rods and lures are part of the rent of the boat.
