Get ready to discover a whole new world off the coast of Playa del Carmen with Sport Fishing Arantza! Captain Benjamin Araujo and his crew put work into every trip as if it was their last. That means you and your family get to enjoy a top-notch sportfishing experience with a dedicated team of anglers that will do everything to put you on monster fish.

Your journey will take place on a 26’ Panga center console, fully outfitted with all the amenities you need for a successful day on the water. She comes with a fishfinder, outriggers, state-of-the-art Penn tackle, and snorkeling equipment if you want to take a dip and go for a swim.

You’ll have a bimini cover so you can stay cool while you fish and an icebox to store your food and beverages. The boat accommodates up to 6 guests, and kids of all ages are welcome aboard.

Capt. Benjamin will take you trolling for some of the biggest fish you’ve ever seen. You’ll have a chance to target White and Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, Kingfish, Wahoo, and more. You’ll also have an opportunity to bottom fish for species such as Amberjack, Triggerfish, Ray, and delicious Grouper, just to name a few.

Whether you’re looking for a fun day of fishing and snorkeling or an action-packed adventure, trolling for big pelagics, you’ll be taken care of based on your preferences. The crew will also offer to clean and fillet your catch so that you have something to show for all the hard work you put in during the trip.

Your fishing license is already taken care of as well, so just arrive 30 minutes early, pack sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, and feel free to bring snacks and drinks. The captain will supply water, soda, fruit for the children, and ingredients for a ceviche if you request in advance.

Come experience the true taste of Mexico and join Sport Fishing Arantza on an exclusive adventure off the coast of Playa del Carmen. They got everything you need, the only thing missing is you!

Would love to do it again!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 19, 20252 adults
Whilst it seemed like a quiet day for fishing with most of the other boats not catching a fish. We managed to pull out a large Barracuda! The crew then stopped off on the way back and setup a couple of rods to fish on the bottom where we also caught a variety of other snapper and banana fish. The crew were brilliant and provided everything you could need for a 4 hour trip. 100% would recommend again and it was a fantastic experience. Thanks again!

Fun Morning Out!
Half Day Trip (AM) on November 26, 20252 adults1 child
We had a great morning fishing! There was not tons of action trawling but we did manage 2 small tuna. Jigging the bottom got us 10+ good sized fish in 30 minutes. The crew worked hard to make sure everyone got in on the fun.

We knew this wasn't the best season to fish but that's why it's called "fishing" not "catching". This was perfect for a quick trip at a very reasonable price. Lots of sargassum to deal with but the crew worked there butts of to keep the bait rigs clean. We will definitely book another trip when we come back to Playa del Carmen. And yes, we did catch fish!

Very happy!
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 30, 20252 adults2 children
We (two adults, two kids aged 9 and 11) did a half-way trip with Sport Fishing Arantza. The captain and first mate did not really speak English, and we barely speak Spanish, but despite that, communication worked out quite well. The guys did a good job entertaining our kids as well, let them steer the boat and suggesting we make a stopover at a cenote nearby. We also caught a 1-meter Mahi-mahi, so my husband was happy!
