Exceptional Fishing Experience in Cozumel!
Half Day Trip - 8:30 AM on July 7, 20265 adults

If you are heading to Cozumel and looking for a fishing trip to remember, look no further. My three sons and I just returned from a trip last Tuesday, and to say it was a highlight of our time here would be an understatement. Honestly, just being out on the water together as a family making memories was the absolute best part of the experience. The Experience From start to finish, the service was top-tier. They provided absolutely everything we needed—all we had to do was show up ready to fish. The boat itself was perfect; it offered plenty of room for four large adults, plus the three crew members, without ever feeling cramped. The Crew The crew was truly outstanding. They were incredibly friendly and patient, which was a massive help for the newer anglers in our group. Their genuine excitement every time we hooked a fish made the experience that much better. They worked tirelessly throughout the entire 4-hour trip. They put us on six Mahi-mahi, and honestly, they seemed more disappointed than we were that we didn't catch even more! They didn't slow down for a second, even when we pivoted to target Marlin. While the Marlin didn't bite that day, I truly appreciated that they were focused on putting us on the biggest, most exciting fish possible. A Perfect Ending to a Great Day To top off an already incredible day, the crew meticulously cleaned and bagged up all of our fish for us to take home. We took our fresh catch over to Lo Cocay, a fantastic local restaurant right here in Cozumel, and had them cook it up for us. They prepared our Mahi-mahi three separate ways: Parmesan-crusted with a special sauce Cajun-style with a vibrant mango sauce Grilled with a rich, smoky local Mayan black spice (recado negro) It was hands-down some of the best, freshest fish any of us have ever eaten in our lives! Final Thoughts In my view, we caught way more than we expected, and we walked away with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend this group highly enough to anyone visiting Cozumel. You won't be disappointed—they are a dedicated crew who genuinely cares about making your day special. Give them a try; you'll be glad you did!

Chris, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an incredible review. Reading your comments truly made our day! It was a real pleasure having you and your sons aboard, and we're so happy to hear that your fishing trip became one of the highlights of your family's vacation. Creating those kinds of memories is exactly why we love what we do. Thank you for your kind words about our captain and crew. They always work hard to give every guest the best experience possible, and they'll be thrilled to know their effort and enthusiasm made such a positive impression. We're also glad you enjoyed the fresh Mahi-Mahi at Lo Cocay—that's one of our favorite ways to end a successful day on the water! We truly appreciate your recommendation and your trust in Aquadventures. It was a pleasure sharing the day with your family, and we hope to welcome all of you back to Cozumel for another adventure in the future. Tight lines, and thank you again! 🎣🐟🌴

Another great trip with Aquadventures
3/4 Day Trip on June 9, 20263 adults1 child

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Outstanding Trip with Aqua Adventures This was our third trip with Aqua Adventures, and somehow they just keep getting better. The Fishing: We finished the day with a blackfin tuna and five beautiful mahi while navigating some rain and a bit of chop. The first fish was on within minutes of getting our lines in the water. Throughout the day, the crew worked tirelessly—switching baits, working the weed lines, and constantly searching for fish to keep the action going. The Service: The team picked us up promptly at 7:00 a.m. from our hotel's dock and made the entire experience seamless. They did a fantastic job helping our daughters throughout the trip, providing just the right amount of instruction and encouragement. The boat was kept exceptionally clean all day, and they provided fresh fruit and snacks for everyone on board. At the end of the trip, they expertly filleted our catch so the hotel could prepare some for dinner while packaging the rest for us to take home. The Crew: Absolutely top-notch. Victor and Augusto have been a winning team on every trip we've taken with Aqua Adventures. This time, Antonio joined as deckhand, and he more than carried his weight. The entire crew was professional, hardworking, friendly, and focused on making sure we had a great experience. Overall: Five stars without hesitation. Aqua Adventures continues to exceed our expectations, and we can't wait for our next trip with them! 🎣🐟🌴

Thank you so much, Dan! It was truly a pleasure having you and your family back with us for a third trip. Reviews like yours mean a lot to our entire team. We're glad Mother Nature cooperated enough for us to put together a great day on the water despite the rain and choppy conditions. Catching a Blackfin Tuna and several beautiful Mahi Mahi made for an exciting trip, and we're happy to hear you appreciated the crew's hard work throughout the day. Victor, Augusto, and Antonio will be thrilled to hear your kind words. They take great pride in making every trip enjoyable, whether it's helping experienced anglers, assisting young fishermen, or making sure everyone is comfortable and having fun. Thank you as well for mentioning the hotel dock pick-up, the fresh snacks, and the fish cleaning service. We know the little details can make a big difference, and we're always working to provide a seamless experience from start to finish. We truly appreciate your continued trust in Aquadventures and look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Cozumel for trip number four! Tight lines and see you soon!

Food was amazing. Totally recommend these guys. Well worth it.

Thank you so much, Aaron! It means a lot to hear that you and your kids had such a great first offshore fishing experience with us. We're especially happy the kids enjoyed it — those are the kind of memories that last forever. Captain Victor and the crew always work hard to stay on the fish and keep the lines clean, especially on those heavy weed days, so they'll be glad to hear your words. And we're glad you got to enjoy your mahi the local way too — fresh on the island is hard to beat! Thank you again for fishing with us and for trusting us with your family trip. We hope to have you back in Cozumel again soon! 🎣

Great crew and best fishing ever!
Half Day Trip - 9:30 AM on June 27, 20262 adults

We came off a cruise ship and we did not realize that the ship time and Cozumel time were different so we had to change times and the captain was most accommodating! From the moment we arrived the crew was working hard baiting poles. We only had 4 hours and we caught 3 Mahi mahi and 2 barracudas. They cleaned the fish and we took it to a restauant and 5 of our friends from the ship had a great fresh fish lunch!! Will book everytime we go to Cozumel!

Thank you so much, Karen! It was a pleasure having you and your group with us. We're really happy we could adjust the timing and make everything work out smoothly despite the cruise ship time difference. Sounds like it turned into an amazing day on the water — 3 mahi and 2 barracudas in just 4 hours is a great catch! And even better that you got to enjoy it fresh with your friends afterward. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for trusting us with your fishing trip in Cozumel. We'll be ready for you next time! Safe travels and see you again soon.

Great time on the Grand Slam
Half Day Trip on January 16, 20264 adults

We had a great experience fishing aboard the Grand Slam in Cozumel, Mexico with our crew, Victor and Augusto. They worked incredibly hard to get us on the fish, constantly adjusting and doing everything possible to put fish on our lines. Unfortunately, the weather didn't fully cooperate—the seas were pretty rough—which I guess is why they call it fishing and not catching. That said, we still managed to catch three fish and, more importantly, had a really fun and memorable time out on the water. The boat was clean, well maintained, and the rods and reels were clearly high-quality, which made the experience even better. Despite the challenging conditions, the crew's effort, professionalism, and positive attitude made all the difference. We would definitely recommend the Grand Slam to anyone looking to fish in Cozumel and would happily go out with them again.
