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!

4 hour fishing trip Oct 1, 2026
Half Day Trip - 9:30 AM on October 2, 2026 • 4 adults

The fishing experience was great! While we only caught 1 fish in 4 hours, you could tell the crew was really really trying. The crew was constantly changing over bait and lures to try and get a bite. Fishing has it's up and down days so one fish was no one's fault, just how it goes some days. My husband wished it could have been a little more hands on, while I was perfectly okay chilling on the boat while the crew set everything up. The crew does the casting and baiting and only when there is a fish do you get to go up and reel it in. Depends on your preference. overall I highly recommend and would do it again!!!

Response from Charter operator

Thank you so much, Alexis! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Fishing definitely has its slower days, so we’re glad you could see how hard the crew was working throughout the trip, changing baits and lures and trying different options to get you on the fish. Thank you as well for mentioning the “hands-on” aspect. With trolling, the crew normally handles the setup, baiting, and lines so everything is ready when a fish strikes, but we completely understand that some anglers enjoy being more involved. That’s great feedback for us, and something we can always adjust depending on each guest’s preference. We’re very happy you still had a great time with us, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. Hopefully next time the fish are a little more cooperative! 🎣🐟😊 Thank you again for fishing with us!

3rd Trip With This Boat
3/4 Day Trip on April 7, 2026 • 2 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:

Response from Charter operator

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!

Response from Charter operator

Thank you so much, Marvin! We’re really glad you had a great time with the crew and got into some fish. 🎣🐟 A mahi, barracuda, and some good action on the water sounds like a pretty fun first round — and I’m glad you enjoyed the fresh guacamole and pineapple on the way back too. 😊 We really appreciate the 5-star review and the kind words about the crew. And the best part is… we get to do it again on Wednesday! 😄🎣 We’ll be ready for round two and hopefully put you on even more fish this time. Thank you again, Marvin — see you Wednesday!

    After having so many days of bad weather (strong winds and high waves), the season is staring nicely! Mahi Mahi are regulars on every trip and Billfish are becoming a common sight too. Tournaments are starting this weekend and will have them every weekend from now and for more than a month. Sailfish make great pictures. This is the time of the year that we like to invite everyone to come down and fish the area.

    The heat wave has finally passed and Mahi Mahi are responding to it. Both boats ("Grand Slam" and "Why Not?") have been very busy today with them getting over 15 fish on the lines. Not only quantity but size has improved. Massive rain last night, and a bit of wind too.... cloudy today, all of these helping cool down the water...Dorado is responding immediately! Fished the Yucatán Channel on a 4-hour trip....wish we could have had more time to see if we could get some billfish too. Awesome day!

    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.

    Our first time fishing in Cozumel did not disappoint, neither did Captain Freddy and his deck warriors. They husseled for 6 hours. Can’t thank them enough for putting us on some dandy fish. Yes, we do recommend them. Brian and Priscilla, Deerwood MInnesota.

    We’ve done at least 6-8 fishing charters in the last few years and this was easily the best. Everyone was on time. Communication was excellent. We were on the fish early and often. We went home completely satisfied and planning to come back soon with our sons.
