Start your adventure in Puerto Morelos with King Mackerel Fishing Trips.

Come and meet Captain Miguel or Captain Polo, they will make you enjoy your fishing trip.

The crew grew up in this small fishing town, in touch with the sea every day.

Enjoy the Caribbean blue waters and catch a fish you’ll be proud of.

This premium fishing charter offers trips year-round, so the action never stops. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, expect a trip you’ll remember for a long time.

You’ll be fishing on a spacious 29’ Imemsa boat that accommodates up to 6 guests. The boat features outriggers and downriggers for trolling, Garmin GPS, a fishfinder, a VHF radio, and a private toilet.

For those extra challenging fights, there’s also a fighting chair.

Depending on how much time you want to spend on the water and what fish you want to target, you can choose between 4, 6, and 8-hour trips. Have fun reeling in anything, from Bonito, Barracuda, and Sailfish to Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, and Marlin. Or if you prefer bottom fishing, try for some Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, Goliath Grouper, and Amberjack. The first fishing spot is only 4 miles away from the shore.

The crew covers your Penn, Shimano, and Okuma rods and reels.

The crew carries drinks, water, sodas, and 2 six-pack beer, so you only need to bring your snacks.

After the trip, the crew will clean and fillet your catch if you’d like to take it home with you. A tip is much appreciated! Or if you prefer, the crew can take you to some restaurant to cook it, the cost of preparation is not included in the fishing trip.

Kids are welcome to join and life vests are available in smaller sizes.

Enrich your vacation and create some new memories with King Mackerel Fishing Trips.

At the moment we only accept cash American dollars and Mexican pesos.

The cost of the trip must be paid before leaving to carry out the activity
There is no refund for dizziness or discomfort that the client experiences while fishing

Family of 7 went out for a half day. Trolled for 1.5 hrs and got skunked. Not sure if others have had similar experience. We did 1.5 hrs of bottom fishing and caught grouper, jack, yellow-tail with ease. Boat ride was enjoyable. No toxic fumes or crazy swells.

Sometimes we don't manage to catch fish using trolling, we try but maybe they aren't biting, but as you could see the bottom fishing was active, thank you very much for spending time fishing with us, see you and enjoy your vacation.

Half Day Trip (AM)

April fishing trip

VERIFIED

I asked Captain Daniel and his first mate, Francisco to get my son on a BIG fish and they were great. The took us to deep water and worked hard to get us on a sailfish, marlin or Mahi. After a couple of hours with no luck, it was pretty rough out there, we headed in to shallower waters and pretty quickly hooked into a 4.5’ to 5’ Barracuda. My son was pumped. Daniel and Fransisco were great. They even dropped us at a Marina a few miles North so we could meet our friends for an afternoon catamaran trip. When you go fishing for big game fish, you often don’t get what you’re after. I can say Daniel and Francisco worked hard to get us on a big one. Ultimately we hooked into one. Mission Accomplished. And something my son will never forget. Gracias Amigos.

6 Hour Trip

I caught a 20+ kilo Barracuda

VERIFIED

After a bit of a slow start we had a A most excellent day. The captain (Julio) and crew (Edwin) went over and above to ensure we got the most from the day. After trawling for a few hours catching a few including my Barracuda we went after Red snapper and boy did we catch. Two great sized Red Snapper, 10 yellow tailed snapper, a number of Queen trigger fish and a number of other species. The captain and crew had rods in the water which they handed to me whenever I Was free and laughed with me for the duration of the trip. It was obvious that they were enjoying the day as much as I was which made it even better for me. A prolific 6 hours of fishing. Edwin showed us a local restaurant who will cook your catch for lunch. What a way to end the day. A must do and you’ll be lucky if you get these guys together. Thanks guys 👍🏾
