Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
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.

We had such an amazing trip with Guapo! The crew was professional, friendly, and made the whole experience so easy and fun from start to finish. They worked hard switching from trolling to bottom fishing and using live bait. Theres no guarantees fishing, but they do their best to set you up for success. We caught a blackfin tuna and a queen triggerfish, and they made fresh ceviche right on the boat, which was such a highlight. It does not get fresher than that. What really stood out was how helpful they were beyond the fishing trip. I accidentally left my phone in an Uber, and the crew kept calling and helping translate so I could get it back. They absolutely did not have to do that, but they went out of their way to help me, and I appreciated it so much. The boat was clean, the crew knew exactly what they were doing, and the whole day felt professional but still relaxed and fun. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend Guapo to anyone fishing in Cancun.
Thank you for visiting us and fishing with us thank you for your review very grateful César and Alex
Our recent fishing charter in Cancun with Captain Cesar was incredible from start to finish. The entire crew was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. They made sure everyone was comfortable, helped throughout the trip, and worked hard to make the experience enjoyable and successful. The highlight of the trip was catching a large blackfin tuna, which made the experience even more exciting. The crew then prepared fresh ceviche right on the boat, and it was absolutely incredible. It doesn't get much fresher than that! The boat was clean and well-maintained, the equipment was great, and the atmosphere was fun the entire time. You can tell this team truly cares about their guests and takes pride in what they do. Whether you're experienced or new to fishing, I highly recommend booking with Guapo if you're in Cancun. Thank you again for an unforgettable trip!
Thank you for your review César and Alex very grateful we look forward to your next reservation thank you
Had an amazing trip with Captain Cesar and Alex! Caught my THIRD sailfish in less than a year, on two trips with them. We also caught blackfin tuna and some huge jacks that left my arm sore (in a good way) for days. Captain Cesar is truly a master of his craft and it is an honor to go fishing with him. He is both scientifically focused on catching fish, relaxed, helpful, and a great coach for anglers of any experience level. Alex also did a great job helping me battle some very strong fish - we hooked up double headers twice and then caught a beautiful sailfish in the last 20 minutes of the trip. Captain Cesar and El Guapo Charters are the the only company I will go offshore fishing with in Cancun. He is always ready to make his trademark fresh catch ceviche on the boat, but this time I opted for pure sashimi right from the blackfin tuna. Cannot recommend him highly enough. We have fished together 3-4 times, I have caught 'bucket list' fish, had several mounted, learned a lot, and made a friend. Anytime I'm in Cancun, I'm going fishing with Captain Cesar.
Thank you for seeing us visit again having a good day of fishing thank you for your review very grateful César and Alex
First off the crew is amazing, they let us decide what species we wanted to target and they are super knowledgeable about what gear to use. We started with landing some beautiful strawberry grouper bottom jigging, then we changed to live bait and hooked up to a beautiful marlin. Fight lasted about 25-30 minutes and they knew exactly where to position the boat. Once we got back to the dock Alex made some beautiful fillets out of the grouper that we had cooked at a nearby restaurant but the real prize was them helping us to secure shiping and the making of our trophy marlin back to the US. Hector made the booking seamless and captian Cesar and Alex made the fishing unforgettable!
Thank you for your review and for recommending us Captain Cesar and Alex appreciate it
This was one of the best fishing charters we've ever done. Alex and Cesar were incredible, and Alex was easily the hardest-working first mate I've ever seen. He never stopped moving and worked nonstop to make sure we had a successful day. They even took us an extra hour past our booked time, which we really appreciated. We ended up catching 5 barracuda, including some huge king barracudas, plus a cobia and 2 bonitos. To top it all off, Alex made fresh ceviche from one of the barracudas on the way back, and it was fantastic. From the big catches to the great attitude of the crew, everything about the trip was first class. Highly, highly recommend!
