4 Hours Trip (AM) on June 15, 20262 adults
My wife and I booked a fishing trip with Samaki I, Charter during our trip to Cancun, and all I can say is WOW. We had an absolute blast from start to finish. The entire experience was relaxing, exciting, safe, and worth every single penny. We started by catching bait, and before long we were hooked up on some absolutely monster barracudas. One of them was probably longer than my wife! It was her very first saltwater fish, and what a fish to start with. It took her nearly 20 minutes to reel it in, and the excitement on her face was something we'll never forget. The deckhand was honestly one of the best I've ever seen. The guy was constantly working. He was baiting hooks, rigging lines, guiding us, helping us fight fish, and making sure we were having a great time all at once. He never missed a beat. On top of that, he was incredibly friendly and genuinely cared about making sure we were comfortable and having fun. The captain was equally awesome. Super friendly, explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and put us on fish. The boat ride itself was fantastic, and the entire trip felt professional and safe from beginning to end. My wife and I are incredibly grateful for the experience and the memories we made. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Cancun. I also saw a negative review saying this charter isn't worth it because the crew rigs everything and all you do is reel in the fish. Honestly, I couldn't disagree more. The whole point of booking a charter is to relax, enjoy yourself, and let experienced professionals handle the setup while you focus on catching fish. If you want a fully DIY experience where you're rigging your own gear and doing everything yourself, there are other options for that—or buy your own boat. For us, this was exactly what a charter should be. Don't let a few bad reviews fool you. These guys are awesome, work incredibly hard, and provide an amazing fishing experience. Highly recommend Samaki Charter to anyone looking for a fun, stress-free day on the water.

Hi Brandon I'm so glad you enjoyed your fishing trip. Our job is to make sure our customers leave happy. Thank you for your comments regarding that customer's negative feedback. Perhaps it wasn't their day to fish. Fishing isn't a job for us; we love fishing and we love seeing our customers leave happy, just like you. Best regards Capt. Enrique

Best fishing trip I've ever done
12 Hour Trip on May 30, 20262 adults
We were impressed beyond belief. Even though it was windy and the water was really big we still managed to catch a ton of fish!! A couple red snapper, a couple of big amber jacks, and a beautiful Mahi mahi, and a bunch of banitos. We also hooked up with a huge shark most likely a tiger shark given where we were and that was pretty awesome. They put in 12 long huurs for us and we will definitely be going again. 'Little Chicken' and his crew were amazing and know what they are doing!!! They will be seeing us again!!!

Sortie de pêche incroyable avec l’équipe de Samaki 1 Cancun Charter. Honnêtement, une des plus belles journées qu’on a eues sur l’eau. L’équipage a été extrêmement attentif à nos besoins du début à la fin. On se sent écoutés, compris et surtout, ils font tout pour qu’on vive un moment mémorable. Leur niveau de pêche est impressionnant, des vrais pros. Ils savent exactement quoi faire, où aller et comment s’adapter pour maximiser l’expérience. On sent l’expertise, mais aussi la passion. J’ai essayé plusieurs guides dans le passé, et il y a clairement une coche au-dessus ici. Je recommande à 200 % à toute personne qui passe dans la région d’Isla Mujeres / Cancún. Si tu veux vivre une vraie journée de pêche réussie, c’est avec eux que ça se passe. 🎣🔥 --- Incredible fishing trip with Samaki 1 Cancun Charter.

1st offshore trip
8 Hour Trip on March 24, 20262 adults
As first timers, we couldn't have asked for much more. captain and crew worked hard all day to keep multiple baited lines in the water at all times. Our catch included lots of bonito, a jack crevalle, and a 44" wahoo. They even let my son gaff one and bring it in the boat. Always making sure we had something to drink if we wanted it and had a sandwich prepared for us for lunch. Cooler stocked with soda, water and beer. All crew spoke some english, but it was sometimes difficult to understand. also, just out of curiosity, I would have liked to have been able to understand what they were saying to each other during the day so I would know what was going on. Was really hoping to hook up on a sailfish, but thats fishing. maybe next time!

Wahoo!!!
6 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on April 25, 20263 adults3 children
2 adults and 4 kids. Spent the whole time trolling. We caught 3 Jack crevale, 1 Barracuda, and 1 Wahoo. They did ceviche out of the Barracuda but when it came to the other fish they didnt fillet then. Contacted the owner and they brought the Wahoo to our hotel later that night. So they did do right in the end. Make sure they fillet the fish before they get into the dock. They didnt tell us that we needed to let them know that we wanted to keep the fish. We caught some big fish and it was a good day of fishing
