Riviera Maya Fishing Trips

Running angling trips out of Akumal, Riviera Maya Fishing Trips invites you to explore these spectacular waters and create wonderful memories together!

Come on aboard with Capt. Manuel, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, and jigging based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 2 to 4-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Barracuda, Marlin, and Amberjack, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your adventure begins on board a 25’ Imemsa boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with an ice box. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip. You may also share the fish with the crew if you wish.

Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the trip. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated. You’ll find free drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you’re always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

Hi! My name is Manuel Jimenez, I'm 33 years old. I grew up in Aventuras Akumal. My family has been in the business of fishing for many years and it's been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Being the only Mexican kid on the block I grew up speaking English all the time. I was very blessed to grow up in this place since I could do the things I love the most like going out fishing and snorkeling with sea turtles. I love what I do and being able to transmit that to others so they can go home and share these experiences with their loved ones is a great feeling.
