Next time you're in Playa del Carmen, make sure to take a trip with Fishbone! Captain Abraham has been fishing in the area his whole life, and he knows these waters like the back of his palm. His native staff is greatly qualified in the Riviera Maya´s different fishing varieties, as well as the vast, diverse coral reef, to practice and enjoy snorkeling.

The 23' Mako vessel provides great comfort and security. This saltwater fishing boat is powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine that will quickly reach high speeds and take you to your fishing spot. There are also navigational electronics, safety gear, a fighting chair, and trolling equipment. There's enough space and seating area for 8 guests to join.

Even on a short trip, you can reach spots with fast offshore species. Target Snapper, Marlin, Sailfish, Barracuda, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, and more. The best part is that you don't need previous experience in order to be successful here. Your captain will show you everything you need to know, and then you just need to be persistent and have a bit of luck.

The crew will take care of your fishing equipment, and they'll also bring snorkeling gear in case you want to jump in. They also cover your fishing license, snack, and drinks. You only need to bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses.

Please note that there is a $10 per person docking fee to be paid to the port authorities, in cash.

Fish on!!!
6 Hour Tour Obsession on March 26, 20264 adults

Captain Randy did an outstanding job of getting us on fish. We caught two very nice sized barracudas, a tuna, and a couple others. Passed another boat that only caught their own bait. Port was very close to the Hard Rock Resort. Price was right! Book a trip with Randy now. You will not regret it!! The cirveche after fishing was fabulous!

Great Day of fishing!
4 Hour Morning Tour Obsession on July 10, 20254 adults1 child

I was provided directions and a QR code to enter Puerto Aventuras marina area. The directions took us straight to our fishing guide who was waiting. Parking was free. I along with some and dad were excited to catch some fish and we weren't disappointed! Within 15 min we landed a barracuda and a mackerel. We trolled for a bit and then went bottom fishing. We caught a good bit of red and lan snapper. On the way back we caught mackerel and missed on one Mahi. 12+ fishe were caught. The guys definitely put us on the fish. They also made a good spread for lunch. The crew was nice and helpful. They had béer, sodas, and waters a plenty. Look forward to coming back to catch a sailfish!

4 Hour Afternoon Tour Obsession on January 5, 20264 adults

we had a fun trip but I can't give 5 stars for a few reasons. one of the fishing reels wasn't very well secured to the rod so it would spin around when trying to reel it, when we were bottom fishing we were hoping to hold the rods ourselves but one of the crew felt he needed to hook the fish then hand us the rod, and 3 crew mates we felt wasn't necessary at all, the job could have been done with one or 2, 3 just made the boat feel more crowded. being English speaking also only one of the crew spoke English and wasn't very talkative or good with explaining techniques or what type of fish were being caught. There was also a 10$ USD charge per person that wasn't listed on fishing booker and we felt it wasn't very well explained to us why we were even charged for this. despite these complaints we were able to catch around a dozen very small fish including a few groupers about 6 inches long and some other small fish which we did enjoy.

Had a great time with Darwin and Randy. They worked hard to get us onto the fish but they just weren't biting. Service was great - they made us breakfast and had lots of refreshments and were great with the kids. Would definitely come back for another fishing trip!

I've been passionate about the sea ever since I was a kid. My favorite technique is trolling, and I prefer to release the fish after I've caught it.
