Pio's Tours
Come to Akumal in Quintana Roo, Mexico and spend a fun day of fishing with Pio’s Tours. Your captain is a local fisherman and scuba diver who’s been living in the area for more than 45 years. He invites you nearshore and offshore to enjoy good service and take this experience back home. Come to Akumal and have a fun and enjoyable fishing trip!
You’ll be fishing from a restored 25’ Imemsa airboat that can take up to 6 guests. It runs on a 60 HP Yamaha engine. It uses a radio for navigation, features an ice-box to store your fish and drinks, and is equipped with outriggers and snorkeling gear. There will also be a first mate present during your trip to give you any help you may need.
You’ll target Mahi Mahi, Marlin, King Mackerel, Sailfish, Jack Crevalle, Wahoo, Great Barracuda, and more. You’ll attract fish by bottom fishing and trolling on light tackle and you can choose whether to keep or release your catch. You will share some of the catch with the crew. Kids are welcome to join aboard.
The captain will provide you with all the tackle, lures, fishing licenses, and drinks and will also clean and fillet your catch free of charge. What you should bring is just some food.
Pio’s Tours invites you to experience fishing in Mexico and have a memorable time on the water!

Manuel, Luis, Fransisco were AWESOME!
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.

Thank you, Luis and friend!
Captain Luis and his first mate worked hard and did a great job! We fished for two hours, got three bites and my son landed two barracudas. My son enjoyed his chat with Luis about fishing. We then went swimming with turtles. Luis took the four of us on a tour, pointed out lots of fish and coral, then we got to see the turtles up close. Luis filleted one fish for us and we let him keep the other. A great day with lots of great memories! Thank you so much!

Caught a fish. Got a good sized barracuda, then we were trolling for Mahi mahi. Captain and crew very friendly, knew what to do to get a fish on. Weather wasn’t the best day for fishing so happy to get one, on a good day I would bet I’d be catching more. If you want to bring a fish home book with this crew.
