Book your next trip with The Boat Sport Fishing and find out what the fishing in Playa Del Carmen is all about. Having logged many hours in these turquoise waters, our Captain will suggest what to target and can adjust these plans to ensure we're catering the trip to your desires.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Bonito, Mahi Mahi, Trigger, Blacken Tuna, Red Grouper, Almaco Jack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, and anything else that bites. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish. We match the appropriate tackle to the targeted fish to ensure an exciting battle.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard!

You'll be dropping lines from a 25' Yamaha panga with room for up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, tackle, drinks and music are covered by the charter, along with lures and bait. Live bait is used at times depending on what were targrting.

A First Mate is included on every trip. Tips are always appreciated, but never expected. Our first priority is your safety. A close second is your 100% satisfaction.

There's no need to buy a fishing license as it's included, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Feel free to drop us a line if you have any questions about what's in season or what we're likely to catch.

It's never a bad idea to bring, sunblock, sunglasses, and any snacks you like. There will be some beer and water onboard, but you’re always welcome to bring your own too.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with The Boat Sport Fishing?

And if you’re interested in snorkeling we can add it to any fishing trip at no additional charge. Or we can do dedicated snorkel trips too. Just let us know and we’ll create an offer with the details

Full Day Trip on July 19, 2025

Jovaney and Daniel did a great job. We started with some trolling and caught 2 good size mahi. Took a ride to go see the sea turtle and star fish on the reef. Major win with the kids. They made us fresh ceviche and shishimi with fresh fruit fir lunch. Tried a little bit for trigger fish but they weren't cooperating. Went back to trolling and caught 2 more mahi. These guys definitely know what they are doing, speak very good English and most importantly for me they were great with the kids. I would also suggest setting up any transportation with them as its cheaper and more convenient. Thanks for the great trip guys.

3/4 Day Trip on July 3, 2025

My son and I joined some family friends for this excursion, and we had a brilliant day of fishing. We ended up catching an Amberjack each - kept one huge one and had it cooked by a local restaurant. Amazing. I ended up catching a Sailfish too, which was an awesome surprise and was a highlight. Our guides were fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating of my son's desired fishing styles. We also caught a triggerfish and they prepared ceviche on the boat. It was perhaps the best I've ever had. Boat had plenty of shade, a well-stocked cooler and nice gear. Highly recommended.

Unforgettable Deep Sea Fishing Experience with "The Boat"

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 3, 2025

During our stay in Playa del Carmen, we booked a 4-hour fishing trip with The Boat team — and it was absolutely fantastic! The service was top-notch from start to finish. The captain and his mate were incredibly friendly, professional, and did a great job communicating in English. The boat itself was very well equipped and comfortable, making the experience all the more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to be out on the water during a fishing tournament, so the atmosphere was filled with excitement and competition all around us. The highlight of our trip? We managed to catch a white marlin after an intense 20-minute fight — an experience we’ll never forget. We also hooked a sailfish, but it managed to escape at the last moment. Still, the thrill was real! We highly recommend this crew for your next deep sea fishing adventure in Playa del Carmen. They go above and beyond to help you land the catch of a lifetime!

What a treat having your group onboard. And with your help and a strong first day showing, we finished 5th in the tournament! We managed to get that sailfish on Day 2. 😅 Thank you so much for the kind comments. Would love to do it again!!

3/4 Day Trip on March 17, 2025

We booked this trip last minute due to the weather causing cancellations and delays with other guides, and we couldn’t have gotten a better outcome!!! All three of the guides were so enthusiastic, uplifting, and had an infectious sense of happiness to them. They were all incredibly passionate about helping my sons catch some fish and they made sure it happened. They were very attentive and made sure we were always okay, had everything we needed, and constantly checked to see if my sons would like to do anything differently. They were just trying to ensure everyone was happy and they didn’t fail in the slightest. Overall our trip was amazing and we would DEFINITELY go with them again. Highly recommend!

Half Day Trip – Fishing/Snorkel on July 8, 2025

This was a blast! My two boys and I had been looking to book this for a few weeks before our trip. The night before our trip is when we booked it. We were on the water promptly by 8:00 and started trolling. My two boys each caught a fish. Then we went and caught trigger fish by bottom fishing. The icing on the cake was the snorkeling the last 30 mins.
