Most of all, they’re here to ensure you have a fantastic fishing adventure and a safe and rewarding experience that the entire family can enjoy.

Your vessel for the day is "Reel Hooker", a 38’ custom Bertram, powered by twin 415 HP Cummins engines that can cruise at 25 knots. She’s equipped with GPS, FishFinder, VHF radio, downriggers, outriggers, and dredges. The cockpit is spacious and equipped with a fighting chair for catching the big ones!

Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Swordfish, and Wahoo are all yours for the taking as you fish these productive waters. Make sure to take advantage of the snorkeling gear on board to explore the nearby reefs too! Captain Eduardo will provide everything you need for a productive day. That includes tournament grade tackle, as well as bait, fishing licenses, drinks, and snacks. The crew will also clean, fillet and vacuum wrap your catch.

Great Crew

VERIFIED

My primary interest was Sailfish but they weren’t cooperating. We did boat a few Mahi Mahi with one bull. The crew kept the bait clear of all the seaweed and fresh. Eduardo tried his best to find the Sailfish. I fished with other boats at Puerto Adventuras to compare to and definitely would recommend The knotty Hooker crew.
