Guapo Boat – Fishing in the Caribbean
Book your next trip with Guapo Boat and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Cancún for more. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Héctor Joaquin can tell you all about the local fishery.
You're likely to fish for Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Bonito, Great Barracuda, King Mackerel (Kingfish), White Marlin, Mutton Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Yellowtail Snapper, Blacktip Shark, and more, depending on conditions. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Guapo Boat is a child-friendly charter service, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea to stay fueled throughout your trip!
Your vessel for the day is a 28' Sportfishing with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.
Capt. Héctor Joaquin will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Guapo Boat – Fishi

Amazing fishing trip!!!
We had an unforgettable fishing trip with Capt. Hector and his deckhand Oliver. From start to finish, they were an incredible team professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They knew the waters like the back of their hand and put us right on the fish. We caught a variety of fish including Mahi and a huge amberjack. I mentioned that I had never caught a sailfish before, and Capt. Hector made sure that changed. I was able to land my first sailfish and cross it off my bucket list, an experience I’ll never forget. To top it off, they even made us some fresh ceviche right on the boat. It doesn’t get better than that. Overall, an amazing trip. If you’re looking for a top-tier fishing experience, I highly recommend Capt. Hector and his crew. You won’t be disappointed.

Awesome day of fishing !!!
We headed out at 7 AM with captain Caesar in first mate Alfredo we left the dock and proceeded to the fishing grounds after the first stop of catching some bait quickly, we headed to where captain wanted to take us to one of his favorite spots when we got there we were the only boat we started out trolling and after a short period of time, my wife was lucky enough to hook up with something really large. She fought it for about 10 minutes and lost it a short time after she we hooked up again and my wife landed a beautiful grouper we trolled for about another hour without any success. The captain suggested we try some other methods so we did a little bottom fishing we but we went back to trolling in a short period of time after trolling I hooked into a really nice sail fish we took some pictures and release. The fish was my request to the captain. I was grateful that he honored my request of releasing the fish at the same time of me fighting the sailfish. We hooked into another fish and my wife pulled in a nice little Bonito. It was a very awesome day of fishing and I would recommend the captain and crew to anyone that wants to have a great day of fishing. Thanks again, Captain Caesar and Alfredo will be back to see you next year.
