The gorgeous waters off the coast of Cozumel are well-known to be teeming with exciting fish to catch. Explore them firsthand and have an adventure with Aquadventures – Why Knot?

Hop aboard his impressive 29' Topaz Angler boat. It was fully restored in 2013, with all the amenities you can expect to find on a modern, comfortable vessel. There's a kitchen, full-head toilet, and a multi-media system on board. The boat can accommodate up to 10 people, so bring all your friends and family.

Don't let the luxuries fool you – the boat is all about serious sportfishing with outriggers, a fighting chair, a flybridge, as well as an advanced navigational system. The crew will provide you with rods and reels, but don't forget to bring an icebox, since he'll clean your catch for you to take home.

Fishing in the area is very rewarding, as you can target a wide range of species, from the nearshore bottom feeders to the big pelagic monsters that roam the open waters. Grouper, Snapper, Triggerfish, Jack, Wahoo, Barracuda, Tuna, Marlin, and Sailfish can all be targeted depending on your preference and skill.

Children are welcome on board, so bring them for some quality family time. There will be snacks and drinks on board. Gratuity for the crew is always appreciated. All you need to bring is some sun protection so you can enjoy your time, and you're all set!

3rd Trip With This Boat
3/4 Day Trip on April 7, 20262 adults

This was my 3rd time booking this boat in Cozumel, and I'll definitely be back. Amazing crew, very accommodating, and we've caught fish every time. the boat is geat, with snacks and bathroom. I've gone with just adults, and also kids. They do a great job of asking what kind of fishing you want to do (lots of reef fish for kids, or chase the giants.) This time, we got a white marlin, which is definitely a bucket list fish for me.

Reported catch:

Hi Jason, Man… 3 trips with us already — that really means a lot to me, thank you 🙌 I love that you've experienced both sides of it — fun days with the kids catching reef fish, and also going after the big ones. That's exactly what we aim for every time: making the day fit your kind of fishing. And a white marlin this time… wow. That's a special fish anywhere in the world 🎣🔥 Moments like that are the reason we do what we do. Really appreciate your trust over the years, my friend — and we'll be ready for round #4 whenever you are. Pedro 👍🏻

Thank you so much, Hilton! We truly appreciate your kind words. Our crew always does their best to make every trip feel personal and memorable, so it means a lot to hear that you felt that effort. We're glad you enjoyed not only the fishing, but also the time spent with the team — that connection on the water is a big part of what makes these trips special. It was a pleasure having you and your sister on board, and we'd love to fish with you again next time you're back in Cozumel. Tight lines!

Great crew and captain
3/4 Day Trip on May 12, 20232 adults

I have fished all over the world and I have never seen a captain and mate work so hard to catch fish. It was a tough day with scattered weeds they stayed on top of every line making sure they were clean. Must have change baits 25 times these guys don't give up. Definitely recommend for anyone great group and very fun.
