Great day of fishing and snorkeling
3/4 DAY FISHING TRIP on December 20, 20254 adults

My family of 4 had a great time with Javier and Raymond. We caught a lot of fish and they cleaned them so we could bring them back and cook at our condo. They took us snorkeling at a great site just south of Playa del Carmen where we saw a lot of colorful fish, a couple of string rays and a turtle. Six hours was the perfect amount of time. If the sea is choppy and someone in your group gets motion sickness they will feel it, but that is going to be true for any of these fishing vessels, especially while you are bait fishing.

Reported catch:
Little Tunny (False Albacore)
Bohar Snapper

Amazing time
HALF DAY FISHING TRIP on January 4, 20262 adults

We caught a lot of fish. The captain was very friendly and professional and helped my son a lot. My son was in heaven. Totally recommend this trip, and the price was the best one I found. It was worth it. Will repeat it again next time we visit playa del Carmen . After, they cleaned and cut the fish and told the restaurant to cook it. We had grilled fish and fresh ceviche.

HALF DAY FISHING TRIP on January 16, 20262 adults

we only did the 4 hr trip so we stayed pretty close to shore. we caught one king fish on the way out while trolling, and then spent the rest of the day anchored to catch smaller fish. if you want to catch big fish only, pay the money for the longer day. luis and raymond were great!

Response from Captain

Thank you for your review! We're happy you had a great day and enjoyed the fishing. We appreciate the kind words about Luis and Raymond and hope to see you again soon! 🎣🌊

Was our first time ever fishing on the ocean. The captain and crew were phenomenal. Fun, educational and all around just amazing people. Fishing was awesome and being able to see turtles in their natural habitat. Was incredible. Definitely recommend their services.
