There's a fish with your name on it in Cancún and Reel Dream will help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Héctor Fuentes, which means you'll tap into their angling experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Great Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, White Marlin, Black Grouper, Skipjack, Sailfish, Blacktip Shark, Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Blackfin Tuna, and anything else that bites. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your excursion begins aboard a 38' Bertram sportfishing vessel with space for 10 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and 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. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

Before coming aboard, it may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Now, come aboard with Reel Dream and get hooked!

5 Star Trip
8 Hour Trip on August 2, 20262 adults1 child

Had an awesome time with Reel Dream Fishing Charter! The crew was super friendly, easygoing, and made the whole trip a lot of fun. They put us right on the fish, and we caught plenty throughout the day. The boat was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. If you're looking for a fun day on the water with a great crew, I definitely recommend Reel Dream Fishing Charter. We'd absolutely book with them again!

Going to Eat Spicy Tuna Poke for Days!
4 Hour Trip on June 6, 20265 adults

Hector, Paco, and Juan took great care of us! We caught two massive blackfin tuna and some barracuda too. Paco made us delicious barracuda ceviche on the boat - so fresh and delicious. The boat was comfortable and the crew was very helpful and made sure everything was seamless. They filleted our fish and we brought our vaccuum sealer to package it up. We will be eating spicy tuna poke for days!

Amazing experience!
6 Hour Trip on May 24, 20267 adults

Did a 6 hour trip with the crew. Was great experience. We got out on the water quickly and started with catching bait fish. Went out trolling and caught mahi mahi, red snapper, barracuda, and Bonita. The crew made ceviche with the mahi mahi while on board which was great. They filleted the fish for us at the dock for us to take home and cook for dinner. Overall great crew and had a great time!

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Great Barracuda

Excellent experience from start to finish! The captain and crew did an outstanding job finding fish, even on a slow day, and worked hard to make sure we had a successful trip. They also prepared our catch and made fresh ceviche that was incredible. Great service, great people, and a great time. Highly recommend!
