An incredible ocean odyssey awaits aboard the “Dream Catcher Boat.” Head out from Puerto Morelos, consuming the breathtaking views and wind-stealing air, as you seek beautiful, exotic, and delicious fish. Captain Roberto Vargas has been fishing in Riviera Maya for over 25 years. A sportfishing enthusiast, he’s determined to show you the best fishing spots in the Caribbean in style.

You’ll traverse the crystal clear waters aboard a 33’ Bertram saltwater fishing boat. This attractive vessel was restored with all creature comforts in 2018, so you’ll feel right at home as soon as you step aboard. Fitted with a bed, shower, kitchen, and toilet, you’ll be in your element as you drift along the waters and head out to the sweet spots.

Take advantage of the comfortable seating area as the first mate serves you drinks and chips, and keeps you good company. While on longer trips, make the most of the sandwiches, fruit, and range of beverages on offer. There’s no better feeling in the world than watching the sun glisten off the water with a beer in your hand.

Throughout the day, you’ll engage in incredible fishing, too. The boat was built for serious sportfishing. Up to 6 guests can fish with the latest gear, as you try your best to reel in some monster fish. Troll for the bite of magnificent Marlin and Sailfish, along with delicious Mahi Mahi. You’ll also get the chance to bottom fish for stunning Snappers, Groupers, Amberjacks, and may more. The options are endless!

When hitting the reefs, you’ll even have the chance to jump in the water and see the stunning, exotic fish up close. Put on the snorkeling gear and discover a whole new world. There really is something for everyone aboard the Dream Catcher Boat, so bring your friends, family, and other loved ones aboard and make some lifelong memories.

Member since August 2018
A native of nearby Cancun, Captain Roberto has been fishing Mexico's Caribbean waters since he was 16. He's been running charters all his professional life, following his sport fishing passion. In 2010, he moved to Puerto Morelos and not a single day since then has he not loved what he does for a living. He can't get enough of the water and hopes to pass on his passion and expertise to others. In September 2018, he caught 111" Marlin and he hopes to replicate that with you.
