Lots of action and amazing crew!
Half Day Trip – Fishing on December 16, 2025 • 8 adults

We were a party of 7, 3 of us have fishing experience while the others did not so we elected to fish between isla mujeres and cancun rather than open sea fishing which would have had much larger waves. Weather was great with some winds causing the boat to rock a bit so unfortunate one of the people in our group got seasick so we had to call off the trip at the 2 hour mark even though we booked 4. The crew was very accommodating and told us we had the choice to keep going or head back whenever based on our request so this was our decision. we caught 6 barracudas in the two hours so it definitely was going to be a lot of action. they gave us the option to take as much or as little fish back with us at no extra charge. Once we got back, they fileted all the fish where we requested to have 4 fillets. They recommended to bring then to a restaurant 10 minutes away at a local marina where we had the fish as ceviche, grilled, blackened, and fried for $15 per person. Super delicious and fresh. Just as others mentioned, the crew worked hard to ensure we caught fish, constantly checking lines, switching out bait, and obviously listening to our requests. Definitely want to give these guys another try for a longer trip, maybe even deep sea with only the true fishing geeks. Great job team and we hope to see you again soon!

Great day with Captain William
3/4 Day Trip - Fishing on September 7, 2026 • 5 adults

Had an amazing day with Captain William and his crew on the Chutzpah. We caught black fin tuna, mahi mahi, baracuda and spanish mackerel. William and the crew went above and beyond to make it a great day. After fishing captain stopped at a swimming spot while they made fresh ceviche with one of the fish. Was truly a great day. We had a group of 5 adults. We all caught fish. Could nit have been a better day.

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda

Seas were a little rough!
3/4 Day Trip - Fishing on June 16, 2026 • 8 adults

Six of us on a 6 hour trip. 2 were a bit under the weather with 4-5 ft. swells. Tried Live bait and dead bait trolling with only one hit. Bottom fishing resulted in 5 Trigger fish. Mate quickly turned them into a tasty Ceviche. Crew was on point and worked tirelessly to produce but conditions were not the best. Would probably pick the lagoon on next trip if seas are rough.
