If you’re looking for some exciting sportfishing, the rush of hearing the reel scream as you fight a big pelagic monster, Aquadventures is the charter for you. Their crew will put you on the hottest offshore bite around!

Climb aboard the “Grand Slam”, a 30’ Island Hopper sportfishing boat, and get ready to catch the big boys! She can hold up to 10 anglers fishing at the same time in comfort, so assemble your fishing team and set off into the gorgeous waters of Mexico. She’s fully equipped for serious sport fishing with a flybridge, outriggers, fighting chairs, and advanced navigational equipment.

Barracuda, Snapper, Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and other species are all on the catch list. For the serious angler, tournament trips are available, where you’ll go after prestigious prizes – Blue and White Marlin, Sailfish, and Tuna. A variety of techniques are at your disposal such as spinning, trolling, jigging, drift fishing, spearfishing, handline, and bottom fishing, using light and heavy tackle.

Children are welcome on board Aquadventures and the captain loves instilling the passion for fishing in young anglers. The crew will clean and fillet your catch as included in the trip price, but gratuity is always appreciated. All required equipment is supplied by the charter, as well as snacks and drinks. Lunch is included in longer trips.

Phenomenal experience!!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 1, 20254 adults
We booked with Grand Slam but he was full and offered us to go on the Why Not boat and we accepted. Both the captain and his hand were fantastic. They worked their butts off the full 4 hour trip! We knew it was end of season, but wanted our teen boys to experience this in Mexico with us, so took a chance. We ended up catching 5 gorgeous Mahi Mahi and lost a 6th during transfer to the boat. We also reeled in a 45lb Wahoo but its teeth cut the line before we were able to get it in the boat. All in all, they did everything in their power to put us on fish and make it a memorable experience. Can't say enough great things about them! Also a huge thank you to Pedro for recommending, since his boat was booked up. Would absolutely do it again!!!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT DAY IN THE RAIN!
3/4 Day Trip on November 5, 20252 adults
We ended up switching to a sister boat, the 'Why Not' a couple days before the trip for maintenance issues. Let me tell you, I could've be happier with the switch, the crew Captain Freddy, two mates Renee & Miguel were incredible & so hospitable! They worked hard to find the bite & keep us in the fish. Ended with 5 Barracuda, one really nice! Lost one sail fish at the boat but that's fishing. They made fresh guacamole & fresh ceviche out of one of the fish, & let me tell you it was incredible!! Highly recommend!!

Awesome day we came from a cruise on shore day.
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 9, 20252 adults
It was easy to get there from the cruise port. I got the address and got a taxi that took us to the other side of the island it was super easy about 10 minutes. The captain and mate we're waiting and took us right away it was a calm day I knew a little late in the season to catch any special fish so we hit shallower waters and caught barracuda all day. If you're taking a cruise to Cozumel you can definitely use these guys don't use the shore excursions they're so expensive from the ship. I will be flying back in May to fish a couple days with them again.

Dorado (mahi mahi) mayhem
Full Day Trip on May 24, 20252 adults
My fiance and I were staying in playa del Carmen and took a ferry across to Cozumel. Where Grand Slam and its crew were patiently waiting just down the road a few hundred yards. Once lines were out we had a double on about 4 to 6lbs dorado and it never stopped. We fished for 8 hours starting at about 830 and the longest we went without putting a fish in the boat was about 45 mins. We had chances they just didn't stick during that 45 mins around noon. We ended up with 17 dorado one of them was a big Bull mahi mahi about 35 lbs. We had another big one come off right at the boat. And one small barracuda. The crew never stopped working the rods and changing baits and since I am an experienced fisherman's they ran me through their operations and had me letting out rods during a period where we put 6 fish in the boat and dorado were jumping and chasing our baits all around us. They kept stealing our baits and flying out of the water. It was just my fiance and I and it was something we will never forget.

Full Day Trip on January 14, 20257 adults
We booked a 8 hour trip beginning at 7:00 am. The crew had the boat ready when we arrived. Within minutes, we were trolling for wahoo in the deep waters outside the marina. We caught a wahoo about 20 minutes into the trip. After that we headed north to the northeast side of island and fished near the lighthouse there. We had consistent action the whole time and it was furious at times. We ended up catching wahoo, amberjack, barracuda, and several nice snappers. The food was great and the captain used one of the snappers to make ceviche. The whole group is looking forward to going back next year!
