If you're looking for an active, unique, and extremely fun way to fish, Easy Spearfishing is the right charter for you! Spearfishing is the most dynamic way of fishing. Join Ruben Canfield as he teaches you apnea and freediving techniques, how to recognize the different reef species of fish, as well as instructing you which ones are protected and which ones aren't.

The vessel they use is a 23' custom-built offshore sportfisher. It's powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine. It's capable of comfortably seating 6 people, although due to safety concerns, only 4 spearguns are to be in the water at the same time. All of the equipment required for spearfishing is provided by the charter, as well as the training to use it.

Spearfishing is the most selective way of fishing available to the modern angler. The beauty of spearfishing isn't just in the hunt for the fish, it's also the gorgeous undersea landscapes you get to witness. This charter will take you to the breathtaking reefs of the Mexican coast, teeming with colorful fish and inspiring views.

Captain Ruben accepts and encourages children to learn how to spearfish in a safe and responsible manner. Being a marine biologist, all customers will also learn some interesting lessons about the species of fish they are targeting, as well as the local ecosystem. After the trip, the crew will clean and fillet your catch, so you can enjoy a tasty feast you have caught with your own two hands!

Easy Spearfishing is available to customers who are confident swimmers as you may be going as deep as 10m under the water.

    Lo Mejor Capitan Para Pescar con Lanzas

    Half Day Trip (AM) - Private on January 29, 2026 • 1 adult

    Una de lo mejor experiencias de mi vida! El capitán Rubén sabe mucho sobre el mar y los lugares que tengan el pez. Fue mi primero tiempo hace este y porque los instrucciones del Rubén pude pescar un pez con una lanza. Todo el viaje fue increíble, si te gustas pescar y estás quedando en a Playa Del Carmen, Tulum, o Cancún este actividad es necesario! One of the best experiences of my life! Captain Rubén knows so much about the sea and where to find the fish. It was my first time doing this, and thanks to Rubén's instructions, I was able to catch a fish with a spear. The whole trip was incredible! If you like fishing and are staying in Playa Del Carmen, Tulum, or Cancun, this activity is a must!

    Half Day Trip (AM) Trolling on October 30, 2021 • 2 adults

    I had the best time spear fishing! Ruben made everything super fun and straightforward. I legit had the sickest time. Ruben was there to find the fish and I was there to spear them! I loved that we changed location, had the proper fitting equipment, and got to sustainably spear fish. I would 10000000% recommend.

    Great trip!

    Full Day Trip on April 3, 2019 • 4 adults

    Ruben is great. He genuinely cares that you have a great experience. He doesn't just throw you in, he took time to train us in proper technique. With a great experience in mind he put safety first. We were not skilled enough to dive on big fish, but Ruben put us on fish that were at our skill level. Thanks for an awesome first spearfishing experience. We will definately go with Easy Spearfishing again. See you next year Ruben!

    Half day with Ruben

    Half Day Trip (AM) - Private on January 12, 2019 • 2 adults

    This was my first time spearfishing, and Ruben and his crew made it a very enjoyable experience I'll never forget. I will say that spearfishing is much harder than I anticipated, and takes a lot of concentration and focus, but overall it was a splendid time and one I will look back upon fondly. Many thanks to the guys for being patient and helping with any issues or questions I had. 10/10 !

Captain Ruben Canfield is a biologist by profession and a true fan of nature and especially the ocean. He grew up deeply intertwined with hunter and fisher culture in his area, and that is his main reason for staying at Playa del Carmen. He chose spearfishing as his fishing path because it matches his beliefs in sustainability and catching only fish that are meant to be eaten. Ruben looks forward to teaching young and old anglers about spearfishing and sustainability, on the sandy, gorgeous beaches of Mexico.
