SportfishingCancun invites you to spend a day on the crystal clear waters of Cancun, Mexico with Captain Romeo Pelayo. This charter is operated by a friendly crew led by Captain Romeo who says their company is dedicated to customer service and motivated at the same time to make a pleasant trip for everyone on board.

Fishing takes place aboard a 26-foot Grady White Offshore sport fisher originally built in 1996 and restored in 2017. On this boat, you will find two swivel chairs, a cushioned bench, a half enclosed cabin with plenty of shade, a bed, and a toilet for your convenience.  There is an icebox for you catch, a livewell for the bait, outriggers, and downriggers for trolling, snorkeling equipment, and all the safety features needed.

SportfishingCancun offers half and full trips which first take you bait fishing so you can get a feel for the equipment and learn how to cast and reel in. Once you've caught the bait, you ride out to the near fishing grounds where fish such as Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Triggerfish, Silvery Grunt, Bonito, and Yellowtail Snapper await. This is a half day 5-hour trip.

Captain Romeo can also take you offshore, on an 8-hour trip, where big fish like Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Giant Trevally, Yellowtail Amberjack, and Almaco Jack can be found.

SportfishingCancun includes rods, reels, tackle, and lures on all trips. Once the trip is over, you can have a fish cleaning and filleting service if you want to take you fish home or to a local restaurant for dinner. Captain Romeo has a first mate who accompanies you on offshore trips and helps you with reeling in your fish.

All that's up to you is to look through the offered trips, pick one to your liking and start counting down the days until your next angling adventure with SportfishingCancun!

    Second time out in 5 years with Mamacita & still awesome!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on June 15, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Took my 8-year-old daughter on a 4-Hour fishing trip with Mamacita, we had an awesome time. Rambo and Diego are great and very knowledgeable about the area and where to find the good fish. They got us hooked up on four beautiful bluefin tuna and a nice sized barracuda. Was so cool watching them help my little girl hook and land the fish. They were great with her. This was her first deep sea fishing experience and has never caught anything bigger than a small to medium rainbow trout. This just blew all of them out of the water. I think she's hooked now. Huge thank you going out to Rambo and Diego again. We will definitely be contacting you guys for another fishing trip next time we are out in Cancun.

    Amother great trip on the Mamacita !

    Full Day Trip on August 5, 2026 • 3 adults

    This is our 2nd time on the Mamacita, our previous trip was in July of 2025. It was a great experience and our August 2026 trip exceeded expectations. Captain Romeo fished hard even though the seas were very rough . By the end of the day, our fish count included a sailfish, bonita, horse eye jack, yellow tail snapper and red snapper. Deckhand Diego make us ceviche from the bonita which was delicious. We will be back in 2027 for another trip on the Mamacita !!

    Best Day on the water!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 23, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service was top notch! We had a blast as a family of 5! We caught 5 Barracudas and one massive Red Snapper! A memory for the books and the kids loved it even though they got motion sickness 🤣 The crew took the kids to the clearest water and let them swim- We couldnt have asked for a better crew!

    Amazing Fishing Charter

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 30, 2026 • 1 adult

    My Fishing charter and the captain were amazing. They went the extra step to make sure I had the best chance of catching fish. I ended up catching many barracuda. We hooked a sail fish and I lost it. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely go again.

    wonderful trip

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on October 27, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a excellent trip on Mamacita crewed by Rambo and Diego. Conditions were quite rought but we managed to hook up to a Mahi-Mahi on the way out to the fishing grounds. We then arrived at our fishing location we caught numerous amounts of large barracuda. We also caught an type of Amberjack. On the way back in Diego made a fabulous barracuda/lime/tomato dish with the fish we caught. Great trip with great crew. thank you!

    Two-peat!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on December 29, 2025 • 2 adults

    My son and I specifically booked with this crew as we had an amazing experience this past July-and today’s second time did not disappoint!! Once again Romeo, Captain Rambo and First Mate Diego earned ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! We caught multiple fish (which turned into a delicious lunch!), shared some laughs, had a great time and made some more fond memories! Thanks again! #Mamacita

    Great trip!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on January 10, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    We took our 3 kids out for a 4 hour trip, of which you get about 2-2.5 hours of fishing in. Guides were very friendly and worked hard to ensure we had a fun and successful outing! We caught 9 barracuda’s! Our only disappointment was that we only caught one species. However, with the shorter 4 hour trip, it should be expected as you don’t have the time to hit a lot of different spots. 5/5 would recommend this tour.

Most epic fishing trip ever!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 22, 20262 adults

Captain Alex and 1st Mate were awesome! They worked very hard the entire trip to make sure we caught amazing fish. This was our favorite fishing trip that we have been on not only because of the huge sailfish and mahi mahi we caught, but because of the crew and the boat ride.
