We had such an amazing day full of sun, calm waters and fishing, although we didn’t take any pictures of our catch I made sure to post a picture of it prepared and cooked at the local restaurant. We decided to go snorkeling as well and the crew member took us for an underwater tour of the local reef which made for a perfect ending of our trip before we headed back home. Did I mention that Capt Alfonso makes the best on board guacamole ever and even had fresh fruit and my beloved Tajin seasoning to go on the fresh mangos, it’s like he read my mind!! Lol This Cajun Gringa loves her seasoning..
One last comment before I go, is that even after the trip he made sure that we were safely walked back to the taxi which meant a lot to us. He went out of his way to do so. When you go fishing with this crew they make you feel like family and make sure you’re safe as well.

Captain Alfonso and his mate were amazing!  Easy going & fun to talk with.  We were fully aware it wasnt the best time to fish in PDC but being an avid fisherman I wasnt letting the opportunity pass.  Alfonso worked his ass off to make sure we got onto some fish.  We all got a chance to reel some in, and he hooked us up with the restaurant to have it cooked that evening.  He had beer, water, fresh mangos and even made is fresh salsa right on the boat. I cant say enough about these 2 true fishermen.

Thank you Alfonso for a great day and we will be back.

We just got home and agree that our fishing trip with Alfonso was the highlight of our week in Playa del Carmen. The day started off rocky because we messed up the schedule. But Alfonso was extremely kind and we were still able to go.
What made the trip OUTSTANDING was how much Alfonso CARED about us bringing in fish. We had a slow start (not for lack of effort!) going after some of the bigger fish but ended the day with 6 triggerfish, which were extremely fun to catch!
Alfonso and his shipmate were kind, helpful, and kept bait on our lines. They also kept the boat tidy and had a cooler of beverages and snacks.
When we came in for the day, Alfonso cleaned our fish and arranged for the restaurant next door to cook them for our lunch the next day. We HIGHLY recommend doing that! It was reasonably priced and delicious!!! And such a fun and relaxing way to top off the whole experience!!! We even got to have a beer and lemonade toast with Alfonso when he came in from his trip the next day.
Don’t hesitate to book with Alfonso. He’s a wonderful guide who truly cares about your experience. And, it’s a beautiful and fun way to take in a piece of Playa del Carmen!

Our group was in Puerto Morelos for the week and being from the Midwest knew we needed to try our hand at deep sea fishing before we left. After researching on FishingBooker we felt confident in booking an 8 hour tour with Captain Alfonso and our expectations were beyond exceeded!
Captain Alfonso and First Mate Mariano greeted us promptly on the beach which was easy to locate. We brought waters but the cooler was stocked with beverages and fruits as well. Once we set off, the crew got us on trolling and right away we caught a handful of bonito. We then stopped to cast and hooked into a barracuda which happened to be on our bucket list. Mariano and Alfonso got us on the fish right away and were so helpful in assisting with technique and swapping lures on a dime.
After trolling for a bit we tried our hand at bigger ticket targets - sharks and marlins weren’t hungry that day I guess but not for lack of trying! Alfonso and Mariano then took us to a beautiful reef where we snorkeled, cast a bit more, all while the crew prepared us a marvelous ceviche lunch with the bonitos caught just hours prior. Once we wrapped up on the reef Alfonso cruised us back to the port and pointed out memorable sites on the Playa del Carmen coast. Upon return, Alfonso cleaned our barracuda and sent us back with filets to have prepared at the hotel.
All in all the day was unforgettable and one of our best days on the water. Alfonso and Mariano were flexible, attentive, and at no point did we feel rushed or that there was anything we were left wanting to do. It truly was a personalized and all-encompassing experience, and I cannot recommend enough Alfonso’s Tours - we’ll seriously consider making a dedicated trip back to book again (this time in Spring for Mahi Mahi!)
I also strongly recommend booking the full 8 hour day so that you can experience the full range of skill and hospitality that the crew has to offer. Thank you Alfonso and Mariano!

Alphonso and Pancho are amazing, I did the full day trip and it as bucket list stuff!

Started out trolling bonita I caught a total of 14 small Bonita. We then used the Bonita as bait for bottom finishing as well as trolling for barracuda. I caught the most beautiful grouper I’ve seen bouncing off the bottom around 400 feet of water, the peak of the day was landing 2 beautiful barracuda one of which was my personal record 4 feet 60 pounder.

The day didn’t end there we trolled around and in total landed about 5 different species of fish. I will remember this trip forever and will uses Alphonso every time I travel to Tulum.
