Sportfishingcancun operates a fleet of great vessels, offering first-rate fishing at competitive prices in the legendary fishing town of Cancun. Located on the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, the area is an angler's dream, with an endless stream of game fish making their way between the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

'El Guapo' is the perfect vessel for those looking to hit the reefs and offshore waters in search of top game species. At 27', she has plenty of room for up to 4 guests and has plenty of shade to keep the Mexican sun at bay. She also comes equipped with GPS and Fishfinder to track down the best fish, and a fighting chair to help bring them in.

Every angler worth his salt will have an opinion on the best way to catch a fish, but few can argue that a solid mix of casting, trolling, and bottom fishing is the way to go for targeting the best variety of species. That is what you will be doing aboard the Chowy, and there sure are plenty of species to choose between.

Spend the day chasing speedy Wahoo, Kingfish, and Barracuda, or dropping lines to tempt some tasty table favorites like Snapper and Grouper. You get first dibs on the fish – whatever you don't want, the crew will keep!

You'll be provided with all the gear you need for a successful. The crew also brings along some drinks but you're free to anything else you'd like to have with you on board. Please know there is a $5 docking fee.

Take your Cancun vacation to the next level with an experienced crew aboard Sportfishingcancun!

    Great trip w/ Martin and Jose

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) on February 16, 2025 • 2 adults

    We did not get anything trolling so we changed gears and did some bottom fishing. We ended up with a couple grouper,a couple yellowtail snapper, some grunts, and about 5 barracuda. Overall a great trip, I would definitely go again. This is my second charter with this company.

    Great time. Would go again!

    Half Day Trip on November 18, 2023 • 4 adults • 2 children

    The captain and his first mate work really hard to help you succeed. We caught so much fish we couldn't take it all :) Kids (6 and 13) had a great time as well. Highly recommend! Only one thing to mention, there is a docking fee and parking attendant fee that are not mentioned when you book. Have some extra cash on you. We planned to give more tips, but ended up giving most extra away for various fees (docking fee is 10 for adults and 5 for kids)

    It was a fun trip in July

    3/4 Day Trip on July 23, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a good experience, the Captain and the first mate Spicy did an excellent job. It was a little rough going to the fishing spot that day, but arriving there the sea was better and coming back was calm and easy. We caught Mahi Mahis, Mackerel, Bonita, and barracuda. We also took the fish to the local restaurant and had a very good Lunch with lots of fresh fish. Thanks

    Awesome Trip!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on July 4, 2023 • 3 adults

    We had an amazing four hour fishing trip with Captain Robert and deck hand Spicy. The first hour was catching bait and heading to the fishing area so don’t be discouraged because they will put you on the fish. We caught eight Mahi Mahi and then a bonus barracuda on the way back. The large Mahi was 46 inches long.
