    Best fishing trip!!

    Half Day Trip on July 14, 2026 • 3 adults

    My son had the best time fishing and even caught a beautiful mahi-mahi! Manny and his crew were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They went above and beyond by helping us prepare our fresh catch, turning it into the most delicious ceviche. It was such a memorable experience, and the whole team made our day extra special. I highly recommend Manny and his crew if you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure. Thank you for an amazing experience!

    Great crew, big catch!

    Half Day Trip on February 23, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Great morning out on the water for our family of five. We’d originally been scheduled to go out the day before, but El Norte brought high winds that closed the port. Rescheduling for the next day was easy for the crew, luckily! I was extremely grateful for their flexibility since we were on a short vacation timeline. We reeled in an enormous king fish, which we enjoyed the next several days!! Very successful trip, highly recommend!

    3 Barracuddas and a Bonito

    3h Trip on December 30, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Alfredo and his mate were very nice, friendly and professional. They were patient with our impatient kids and led us to several hits which netted us 3 big barracudas (yes we ate em) and a sweet bonito which we ate sashimi.. delicious. My son and our group had a great time!

    Manuel, Luis, Fransisco were AWESOME!

    3h Trip on February 6, 2025 • 3 adults

    What a great day — Manuel was nice enough to pick us up from our hotel, he spoke well and made us feel at ease. Once on the boat, Luis and Fransisco were amazing and full of knowledge. We caught a 3ft barracuda and a 4.5ft Wahoo. Luis then proceeded to filet the fish for us, and Manuel had plenty of wonderful recommendations on restaurants that would cook it for us. On our drive back to our hotel, Manuel showed us the best local spots for various types of food, and produce. Overall a fantastic day and can’t recommend this company enough! Five stars all around.

    Great fishing with informative crew

    Half Day Trip on February 21, 2024 • 1 adult

    Travelling to Rivera Maya, Mexico on holiday I decided to try the fishing in the area s I always try to do on holiday where ever I go. Having the the Fishingbooker app it’s a great way to find out who is doing angling trips in any area. I had asked the hotel for fishing trips nearby and was directed to a very expensive trip. So I tried Fishing booker and got a list of boats nearby. I chose Pio’s tours because of the price, nearby location, reviews and size of the boat. Straight away I had great communication with Manuel the owner and within 5 mins I was booked on a 4 hours trip for around £300(up to 6 people could of come on the trip with me, for the same price) but I fished alone. Not knowing my way around Rivera Maya I asked Manuel if he could pick me up for the same price, which he did better than that, he picked me up from my beach at my resort. Promptly Fernando and Freddo arrive to pick me up at 9am on the dot. The boat itself wasn’t the big game fishing boats I have used before but a more personal 25ft basic but well equipped. Off we set into the blue and within 10/15 mins I was wetting a line. Almost instantly I was in to some fish with guidance of how to expect the fish to bite( I am an experienced sea fisherman but local knowledge is key). To start I was catching Strawberry snapper and array of other small fish. With no fish finder it was local knowledge of Fernando that put us on the fish. We bottom fished at the start and after an hour or so my rod bent it to a better fish resulting in around a 15lb red grouper, that was it, it’s was all big fish from then on, lots of trigger fish at good sizes fishing at different depths. Fernando asked if I would like to start to trolling and again I was into fish straight away with a large barracuda as Freddo set up the out riggers. Fish were biting almost all the time snapping at the fish on the out riggers, another big barracuda soon came with blue fin tuna and yellow tails all taking the bait. I finished with about 30 fish in 4hrs. What a great time fishing with Fernando and Freddo it passed all my expectations. I can recommend Pio’s tour so much for the friendly atmosphere and knowledge on the boat. 10 days after my holiday I am writing this review with a smile, still on my face. Don’t book those expensive massive fishing boat, book the personnel touch and CATCH.

    Targeting amberjack

    Half Day Trip on January 4, 2024 • 4 adults

    Just back from a trip with wife and kids,I am an avid angler and wanted to target amberjack, Before I booked the trip I asked the question and his prompt reply said "amberjack it's!" So the guys on the boat worked hard to find the fish and we had Landed 2 jacks after an hour or so,we were fishing for 4 hrs and Landed 4 amberjack and a small bonito! We lost a few fish and had one bonito come up with just it's head,all in all fantastic trip and will definitely book again!!

Another trip to remember!
Special 4 hours trip for Glad C on September 17, 2026 • 2 adults

First came here 5 yrs ago and had an unforgettable experience with Captain Alfredo and his mate. Came back to the area and knew I had to book with them again. Sure enough they did not disappoint. He got us on to plenty of fish including a couple barracuda, a spanish mackeral and a few snappers. After the fishing, this was finished off with some snorkelling. A great finish to an enjoyable day of fishing. Definitely recommend these guys to anybody in the area. If we ever come back we will definitely book again!

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.
