Nuj Kay Fishing – La Porteña 25' 

4.8/5 (8 reviews)
 Boulevard Kukulcan Km 5.8, Cancún, QR 77500, Mexico

If fishing in Cancún is on your bucket list, look no further than Nuj Kay Fishing. With Captain Mauro at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Species like Amberjack, Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Bonito, Horse-eye Jack, Wahoo, Jack Crevalle, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Blacktip Shark, Gray Triggerfish, Great Barracuda, Sailfish, and more inhabit these waters if conditions are right. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your trip begins aboard the La Porteña, a 25' Panga that holds up to 3 passengers. It has downriggers, a fighting chair, everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Nuj Kay Fishing.

4 Hour Trip (AM) on March 12, 2025

We are very grateful for the trip. The crew was super nice and we caught 11 big barracudas. We arranged to be picked up on Isla Mujeres, which worked out perfectly. They took pictures of us and the fish, and cleaned and filleted the fish for us so we could take them home and cook them very easily. Overall a really good trip. Highly recommended!

Captain Mauro knew exactly where to go to find the fish. There were other bigger boats (with more people) in the same general vicinity, but we were busy catching barracudas much more than what I saw with the other boats! Gracias Mauro!
