Welcome to our exclusive fishing and tour service in Cancun, where you will live an unforgettable experience in the crystal clear waters of the Mexican Caribbean. What makes our trip unique is the perfect combination between an exciting fishing adventure and a relaxing ride through the stunning coastal landscapes of the region.

Our captain, an expert local fisherman, will take you to the best fishing spots in the area. You will be amazed at the diversity of species you will find such as Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Bonito, Mahi Mahi, Red Grouper, Goliath Grouper, African Pompano Jack, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, Red Snapper, and many others. Furthermore, you’ll get the chance to battle some of the most challenging creatures in the ocean and enjoy the thrill of reeling in some of the most impressive catches.

The trip takes place aboard a luxurious 40-foot boat with a capacity for up to 10 passengers. Our boat is fully equipped with the latest advances in fishing technology and amenities to ensure a comfortable and safe experience. You’ll have access to all the necessary fishing equipment, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait. If you like the idea of catching your baits, our captain will be happy to guide you on that experience as well.

The fishing and ride service also stands out for offering a relaxed and familiar atmosphere. Our crew will be at your disposal at all times to make sure you enjoy every moment to the fullest. In addition, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful panoramic views of the beaches of Cancun and its surroundings while sailing toward the fishing areas. If you feel like taking a breather, you can enjoy the sun on the deck or take a dip in the turquoise waters.

Another unique aspect of our service is concern for the environment and sustainable fishing. Our captain will be attentive to local fishing regulations and will ensure that we respect closed seasons and catch limits to preserve marine life.

6 Hour Trip on June 27, 2024

Fished for 4.5 out of our 6 hour trip. Crew did not communicate to us that we stopped fishing to go and tow another boat back to the dock which ended up taking an extra 1.5 hours on top of the 6 hour trip. Wish they would have communicated this to us.

Hello Bobbie! I’m sorry to hear that ! What we did was helping someone else boat cause it got broke and stuck on the ocean we didn’t know either but they needed assist, and help, when you are stuck in the ocean because a boat issue things can end it up really bad !! Maybe capi didn’t explain you properly! So we apologize for that 🙏🏼. In any case we did try our best even to compensate the missing time on your trip, but capi told me you guys didn’t want to go lagoon side 😪 so I apologize for that too! Hope to see you soon and try harder so you guys can have a better experience
