You’ve sat on the beach and probably even swam in the Caribbean by now, but there’s still one thing missing – getting out onto it. Come aboard Manny Tours and discover a different side to Akumel and the Yucatan coastline.
Boat owner, Manuel runs his own charter as a way to get on the water every day. He loves spending time with customers and showing them how to fish. That’s why he comes along as a first mate, while Captain Hector steers you to the sweet spots. With plenty of experience, he knows exactly where to go, so this dream team combination will give you everything you could ever want.
Up to 6 guests are welcome aboard the 25’ Imemsa saltwater fishing vessel. Built with fishing in mind, there’s plenty of space for up to 4 of you to fish at the same time, with excellent views so you can follow your line. The crew will provide plenty of water and soda, so you can make yourselves at home on board, as you settle in for a thrilling day out.
The beauty of fishing here is that you’re on the sweet spots within 10 minutes. Troll and bottom fishing along the reefs, going after a range of exciting and delicious fish. Choose from 2-hour, 3-hour, and 4-hour trips, and test your skills as you look to fill the boat. You’ll even have the chance to go snorkeling too, to discover the real magic of these waters.
Whichever trip you decide on, you’d better roll up your sleeves and settle in for an intense fight. Snappers, Groupers, Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Marlin will all do whatever they can to get off the end of your line, so get ready for a thrilling experience.
Manuel and Hector can pick you up within a 15 km range, so get in touch before you come aboard. Other than that, all you need to do is bring some sunscreen, a camera, and snacks and alcohol (if you want) aboard, and away you go.
Manny Tours offers you the chance to spice up your holiday, as you get to know more than just the beaches. Come aboard and make this holiday one to remember!

8 Hour trip - Fishing on April 30, 2025
Fantastic trip. 8 hours, first mate and captain didn’t quit trying to get us on fish until the last second. 5/5, no complaints whatsoever. I’ve been on several guides in the states and these two work together better than any captain - mate tandem I’ve seen. My wife doesn’t exactly have her sea legs and got sick mid day. Luis took us to a Cenote located in a lagoon and took a break, got her right for the rest of the rest of the afternoon. Their knowledge of the area saved the day and that experience as a tourist was incredible in its own right. Full Package as a Pinche Gringo Highly recommend. We were staying at Secrets Akumal and we were able to walk literally 70 steps from our beach entrance and board the boat. Catching Mahi writhin 15 minutes.

4 Hour Trip on March 4, 2025
We had reserved a day of fishing, four hours, and on suggestion from Manny we changed our day to one day earlier due to weather. This was a good recommendation as the weather on our scheduled day was very rough! Anyway, we were picked up on the beach and out we went. Our fishing adventure started off trolling at first where we hooked and landed a Barracuda! It was then decided to bottom fish in the middle part of our trip and this was very successful. We hooked and landed 13 more fish including another Barracuda that was over 4’ in length. Needless to say we all had a great time and experience with the crew of the boat Lena! Thanks again Manny for setting us up!

4 Hour Trip on February 27, 2025
We booked a fishing trip pretty last minute with Manny and were very impressed with the service! Manny was quick to respond, communication was no problem, and after getting skunked trolling, offered to bring us back out the next day to do some bottom fishing, but were lucky enough to catch a nice wahoo trolling on the way to the spot and a bunch of red snapper! Was an awesome experience and I highly recommend Manny Tours for fishing around Akumal! Would book again in a heartbeat!

3 Hour Trip – Fishing on November 27, 2024
Luis and Pipé are amazing!! They picked me up right in front of our resort on their boat. We traveled maybe 15 minutes by boat to the best fishing spot. We caught tons of fish including some big baracuda (20+ lbs) and a nice dogtooth snapper (15lbs). Fishing was amazing and they provided everything I needed for an amazing adventure. Highly recommend this trip! A+ service and experience. Thank you!!

3 Hour Trip – Fishing on February 25, 2025
Five-person trip for three hours. Everyone, including our 14-year-old son, had a blast! We got into some monster barracuda (3), a Wahoo (unexpected) and a Kingfish as well as numerous red snapper and a few banana fish. Luis and Pipe were awesome. Highly recommend.

Hi! My name is Manuel Jimenez, I'm 33 years old. I grew up in Aventuras Akumal. My family has been in the business of fishing for many years and it's been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Being the only Mexican kid on the block I grew up speaking English all the time. I was very blessed to grow up in this place since I could do the things I love the most like going out fishing and snorkeling with sea turtles. I love what I do and being able to transmit that to others so they can go home and share these experiences with their loved ones is a great feeling.
