Samaki I Cancun Charters 

My wife and I chose Samaki 1 over several other fishing charters on FishingBooker. We were absolutely thrilled with our decision. The communication prior to the trip was great and the details on meeting location were perfect. The entire crew worked from the start of the day to the end of the day in every aspect of preparing for a fishing day. We took an 8 hour trip and the mates and captain worked the entire time putting us on fish. We told them our goal was to catch a sailfish, and would you know it, it happened! The boat was clean and we were offered food and drinks throughout the day. The mate, Andre’s and his partner constantly made sure our baits were swimming properly in the spread and they were changing out the ballyhoos when needed. We were on fish within 45 minutes of lines being in. We caught several bonitos and a nice mahi capping off the day with an 85 inch sailfish. They provided us information to a taxidermy to use in the United States to have it mounted and shipped to our house. They changed the goal from trolling to bottom fishing to try to catch other species after we did not have success bottom fishing we went back to trolling and caught a few more bonitos with one being hooked, and then a shark bit the bonito when reeling it in. I just cannot say enough great things about our day and the staff. We would take another charter with Samaki the next time we are in the area. Captain Eliseo naviagted the waters perfectly and helped alot when hooked up with the Sailfish.

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.

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!!!

had a blast on our first deep sea fishing, caught 17fish in total mostly baracudas but lucky got a mahimahi even tho its already out of season(just wish i had a picture with it while it still alive and had the bright yellow green colour). friends and family loved the experience too so we mostlikely be back for more next vacation

Our trip started at 7am and the captain and crew were good. I was hoping for a more of an experience catching fish that were worth to keep, barracuda’s all day which were 9 and googled if it was safe to eat, and it wasnt due to the bacteria on them and stated if your in Cancun, do not eat, so we caught nothing at all. The first 3hours we caught bait fish and the rest of day it was riding a boat. I was expecting more, but very disappointing say the least.
