Have a fun day on the water and catch fish together with Juancho. Your friendly crew will meet you in Playa Del Carmen, Quintana Roo and take you to the area's rich inshore and offshore waters, reefs, and wrecks. This crew will know where to find the best bite and give you the best chance for making a big catch. Join in and discover the beautiful waters of Mexico!

The crew offers you a memorable time on the water, which includes 4, 6, and 8-hour trips. You will mainly be fishing for Marlin, Little Tunny, Mahi Mahi, Horse-eye Jack, Grouper, Cero Mackerel, Bonito, and more. The techniques you can use to attract your targets are light and heavy tackle, deep sea fishing, big game fishing, trolling, spinning, drift fishing, as well as jigging. Sailfish and Marlin have to be released but you're welcome to keep all the other species you catch.

Your trip will take place on a 27' Imensa fiberglass airboat that can safely take up to 4 guests. It runs on a 60 HP Yamaha two stroke engine and uses GPS, fishfinder, as well as radio technology for quick and safe movement on the water. The boat comes with an ice-box and is equipped with a fighting chair, snorkeling gear, outriggers, and downriggers.

The captain will take care of all the fishing equipment, licenses, catch cleaning, and drinks. On some trips, you'll also get sandwiches and fruits.

Book today and have a wonderful time fishing in Mexico!

6 Hour Trip on January 29, 2026
These guys are the best! Their English is good, they had great personalities and were very flexible. They wanted to make sure we had a great time and got to do everything we wanted to. Edmond had good communication before the trip. Our trip started with fishing. They took us to a great spot right off. I'm not as much of a fisher as my husband is, but Edmund was great. Baited my hooks and got me started so I wouldn't miss out on the fun. Fish were really biting. When they quit biting for just a few minutes, they moved us to another spot where the fish were biting. We caught several trigger fish. Then we were off to a spot where I could snorkel. We trolled on the way there. Didn't get any bites but I enjoyed the relaxing speed. On the way there, Gustavo made some scrumptious ceviche with fresh tomatoes, avocados, onions and the fish we caught. Very delicious! We ate in the cove area while sea turtles, sting rays and a moray eel swam right next to and under our boat. It was amazing!!! I snorkeled for a bit. Edmund offered to take us to a cenote but it was a 7 minute walk and my husband didn't want to go. So we headed back, trolling along the way. On the way, they pointed out a giant sea turtle for me to see. They never rushed us and were willing to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime. Definitely worth the money. We highly recommend Juancho 1 and hope to see Edmond and Gustavo again some day.

the action started within minute's of setting off and stright into a mia mia. Edmondo and crew are first class, had 5 Mia Mia, a big white marlin got off and when bottom fishing something serious took the bait, fought for about 15mins but put to much pressure on it and snapped 30kg line, felt like a gaint grouper. highly reccond this trip and all in just over 4hours, thankyou Edmondo and crew

8 Hour Trip – Action and Fun on June 16, 20252 adults1 child
Captain Edmundo and his first mate Gustavo did a great job. I wanted my 11 years old son to catch his first big saltwater fish and to enjoy fishing in different species. Edmundo was able to bring us to the fish. We started with bottom fishing (I wanted my son to catch some fish). Edmundo and Gustavo drove to many different spots and we were able to catch some groupers, trigger fish, so-called "bananafish" and a small snapper. After 4 hours or so of bottom fishing, we started trolling and hooked up a decent barracuda, which my son drilled and brought to the boat. Finally a Mahi-Mahi showed up. Edmundo and Gustavo were very helpful and I recommend everyone to book a tour with these nice guys.
Reported catch:
Great Barracuda
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
