Playa Del Carmen has a fish with your name on it, so let Deep-Sea Fishing With Juan help you catch it! Captain Juan Gabriel will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of professional experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Skipjack, Amberjack, Red Grouper, Hogfish, Almaco Jack, Jack Crevalle, Black Grouper, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Great Barracuda, and plenty more. You'll target your catch by trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Capt. Juan Gabriel runs a 26' Ocean Pro panga with space for 4 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Health and Wellness: Fishing is a recreational activity that can be enjoyed with family or friends, allowing you to connect with nature and spend time outdoors. Improving Self-Esteem: Fishing can provide a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, which contributes to improving self-esteem and self-confidence.

You will need to purchase 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, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Playa Del Carmen for yourself, with Deep-Sea Fishing With Juan!

    Amazing morning session with Captain Juan and Jorge

    Fishing 6 hours am on October 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    My 12 yr old son and I had an amazing trip with Captain Juan and Jorge, great guys, put us on the fish straight away, several Bonito, Barracuda, a huge missed Amberjack, loads of big Triggerfish, queen triggerfish which we released as it was so beautiful, we missed a bunch of good hits too, shark and suspected more barracuda. it was action packed for the whole 6 hours. definitely recommend these guys for a charter. Boat is great and well equipped for whatever you want to do. They let us use our own rod etc too. Ive done loads of charters but never had such a great session!! We will be booking with them again for sure. Mucho Gracias from both of us.

Fishing is my passion. Since I was a child, I've enjoyed fishing from the shore, using hooks, etc., and I've learned to read the water and recognize fish. I love being at sea, the challenge of catching fish, etc. As an angler and guide, I've worked with people of all ages and experience levels. I love sharing my knowledge and passion for fishing with others.
