Don't leave home without a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks available on board on the 6 and 8 hour trips.

Full Day Trip on June 24, 20261 adult

From the inital booking and communication to the actual trip, everything went smooth. Martin was quick to reply to any questions I had. I spent 8 hours with Mau and we fished several different areas getting into a good number of fish. He was very knowledgeable and got me on the species I wanted to target. I've done many guided. trips and charters over the years and this was one of the best experiences I've had. I Highly recommend this service if you are visiting the Cancun area and I will definitely be back in the future.

great day of fishing.
3/4 Day Trip on April 22, 20262 adults

Very easy to find with the provided instructions. We went after Tarpon first thing this am. With a few missplaced casts they wouldnt eat, we moved on to Snook. caught a handfull of snook (lost a really good one) and a bonus sea trout. also caught quite a few barracuda. Will definitely be going again with these guys in the future.

Martin was great; he went out of his way to make sure there were good fish around the boat at all times. We caught some small barracuda and even a mid-sized snook!
