Paseos Albatros Tulum 

Whenever we have a family holiday close to the sea, we try to get a fishing trip in, because we like the combination of being out on the water and the thrill of hopefully catching our evening meal. This experience in Tulum with Captain Nelson and his son Rafael and crew was a slam dunk!. They clearly know what they are doing on the fishing front, and captain Nelson easily combines that with being a great and hospitable host to his guests. We got a boat full of fish, more than we could take home ourselves. Hands down the best fishing trip we ever had as a family. I could not recommend captain Nelson more!

captain nelson and first mate carlos made my trip to tulum a great time! i went out for a 6 hour trip and we went trolling. Had a sailfish teasing with a bait early on, only ended up getting a mahi and a few barracuda. I told them i had nothing going on for the rest of the day so we stopped at a beach club where they prepared the fish and we had lunch. after that we went and fished some more. we were out for about 10 hours! i ended up going spearfishing with them later in the week. Carlos is an awesome freediver and showed me all the good spots and got me on my first fish with the spear. these guys are absolute legends and if you are looking for a boat in the tulum area, go with this crew!

I had an incredible experience with this spearfishing tour. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The crew was professional, friendly, and made me feel safe the whole time. Greetings from Germany! The equipment was in excellent condition and high quality. You can really tell they care about safety and performance. They gave clear instructions and helpful tips, which made a big difference — especially for someone who wants to improve. We spent several hours in the water and the conditions were great. I even managed to catch two lobsters, including one really big one! It was an unforgettable experience. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend this provider to anyone looking for a professional and fun spearfishing adventure.

We went out with Captain Nelson and Pimienta. They were super nice people to spend a day with. I highly recommend them, specially if you are going out with kids. We were a group of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids - 7 and 11 years old). My son had lots of questions and they were super kind on addressing them and teaching him a few things, such as putting the baits to the hooks, etc. My son was so happy at the end of the fishing tour. He also caught a few barracudas - it was not the best weather for fishing but I can tell Nelson and Pimienta were working hard to find spots where the fishes were. Once done fishing, Nelson took us snorkeling, where we were able to see sea turtles, sting rays and eagle rays. He also taught my son how to clean the fishes that he caught. One of them he made fillets, which he helped us get grilled at the restaurant on the beach (this was not part of the tour, but Nelson made it happen because he cared and he knew that would mean a lot for my son). I also like the boat departed from the beach in Tulum, which allowed us to enjoy the afternoon on the beach. It is not a big marina, which made it feel very charming and special. Overall, it was a great trip. We were out fishing for 3 to 3.5 hours and snorkeling for 0.5 to 1 hour. After that we ate lunch (including what we caught) in a restaurant by the departure point and swam a little bit on the ocean.

Cant say enough great things about this trip. Captain Nelson and his team were pros frim the start. Clear communication after booking. Great day on the water. Great boat and equipment. Cap had a cooler with cold drinks and fresh fruit to snack on. Slso had snorkeling gear which we opted to fidh the whole time, but iscan option. Cap is also an experienced diver if that’s your thing. Super knowledgeable about not only fishing but the Mayan history as well. Gave great info on the ruins and what they meant from a sailor’s POV once upon a time. Great catch out on the water with Fish hitting in the first 15 minutes. Missed a few pics but this trip was a blast! This was our 5th charter (different parts of Mexico) but next time we’re in Tulum, we will absolutely be re-booking with Captain Nelson and his crew. You should too! Slso a great Charter for kiddos who are just learning.

Nelson and his son Raphael created an amazing day for our family. We caught three fish, a tuna, a mackeral, and a barracuda! The fish were not biting too much but they tried very hard to get us plenty of opportunities! Then we got to see the Tulum Ruins from the water for a fun photo op with our catch. And finally, and perhaps my favourite part, they took us out to snorkel with the sea turtles!! We saw two turtles and two sting ray and lots of reef fish too!! It was a perfect day for our little family!! While my husband can speak Spanish, my daughter and I don’t, so Nelson’s ability to speak English made the trip even more engaging for my daughter and I! We are a very happy family after this fun adventure! Muchas Gracias to Nelson and Raphael!! We highly recommend this trip to anyone!!

Amazing morning of fishing with this crew! If your are contemplating booking a trip with them 100% do. My family and I went, and this family run charter was very welcoming (for us the father and his son were our captains). They were very helpful and friendly the entire and put us on some giant and consistent fish, not even 5 mins into the trip we hooked and landed a trophy barracuda! In all we had an amazing experience, would highly recommend this captain and his boat!

I picked this boat soley beacuse it had twin engines ( security). Little did I know inwas going to have so much fun. We caught mahiis and baracuda - 12 in total. Despite lots of seaweed, Capitan Nelson, his son and cousin worked extremely hard to keep lures clean and put us on fish!

Captain Nelson and his crew really care about their passengers and work hard to make sure they catch fish. We were a family of 4 and they made sure everyone had a good time. Waters were calm and the fish weren't biting, but Captain and crew kept working hard until we landed a monster barracuda! We also went snorkelling with sea turtles and stingrays, and the whole family had a great day. I strongly recommend Captain Nelson and his Albatros crew!

What started out as a discouraging trip due to the rough water turned into an amazing experience with Captain Nelson. The kids were struggling, the fish weren’t biting and we were ready to go back. Then we caught a barracuda, followed by snorkeling. The stingrays and sea turtles got up close and personal- our 16 year old said it was a dream. Captain Nelson couldn’t control the water but he sure made the best of it! Highly recommend!
