Albatros Charters - Cozumel Mexico 

4.7/5 (20 reviews)
 Puerto de Abrigo - Banco Playa, Zona Hotelera Norte, Cozumel, QR, Mexico

Albatros Charters are a boutique operation that caters and cares about the needs of every angler they have on board. Mexico never looked so enticing and welcoming than when fishing in the pristine waters of San Miguel de Cozumel.

“Albatros”, your boat for the day, is a 42’ Chris Craft with the capacity to accommodate 6 anglers that can cast their lines without bumping elbows. The vessel has twin 250 HP Caterpillar engines to cut through the waves seamlessly and bring you to the most plentiful fishing grounds around.

She is also fully rigged with excellent navigation gear to get you on the fish faster, a fighting chair to help you reel in that extra feisty catch, and a flybridge to take in the view while waiting for the fish to take the bait. You also have a private toilet on board, and even a small kitchen, should you need it.

When you arrive to the hottest fishing spots, test your luck and lines by fishing for Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, Kingfish, Wahoo, and prized Sailfish and Marlin. Different types of Tuna, as well as Goliath Grouper, are on the menu too, depending on the length of your trip and your preferences.

Heading out with the crew of the Albatros means you get the chance to fish, but also snorkel, as long as you ask the captain to prepare the equipment beforehand. Drinks like water, lemonade, and sodas are included in the price, as well as snacks and lunch on longer trips.

You don’t have to worry about fishing gear either — rods, reels, and tackle are all a part of the trip package. You’ll also have a first mate on board, and you can ask him anything fishing related, he will gladly be of service. If you’re satisfied with his work, gratuity is much appreciated.

All you really need to do when you come aboard Albatros Charters is be ready to fish and have the best time — they’ll take care of everything else!

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 31, 2024

“Fishing” may be called that instead of “Catching” for a reason, but on this day “Catching” would have been more appropriate! This Aug 31st was a perfect half-day morning fishing charter for me, my son Kevin, son-in-law Justin and nephew AJ. Rita was more than accommodating with the start time based on our disembarking time from our Royal Caribbean cruise ship. Albatros Captain Oscar and first mate Jimmy (Jaime) were wonderful. They were prompt at the pier at 9:00am and everything was as promised with plenty of food and drink available. All of the bait was pre-rigged and ready before we boarded. We were fishing minutes after boarding. Within 30 minutes we hit a school of mahi and had four on rods at the same time! A while later we brought in two more all about the same size of about 22” - 28” long. Then the big bull hit and kept us all busy for over 30 minutes taking turns wearing each of us out. He was over 48” long and a bruiser! On the way iback to the dock we caught two more of the smaller females to make it a total of 8 (2 each) plus the one big bull! We ended the trip with a lunch at the nearby Sand Dollar cafe consisting of two of the mahi mahi’s which Jimmy filleted for us on board. Thank you for a fantastic trip and the wonderful memories we will each have forever.

My son and I were out for his first deep sea fishing adventure - given weather over previous days the fish were not biting. It wasn't just us - none of the boats were catching much. Captain and crew worked the lines trying different approach, bait (live and other) and we (my sone) caught a very nice Mahi. Honestly, think we would have been shut out if they hadn't worked so hard. Well done!

Oscar, David and Max were a great crew. We caught a lot of fish and the snacks they provided were tasty. Would highly recommend them.

We did the 4 hr morning charter. Great crew! We caught barracuda. The captain and first mate clean and fillet the fish for us. Definitely will be using them again on our next trip!
