Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
100+ anmeldelser
Captain Benjamin Araujo has been fishing off the Yucatan as a licensed captain since 2005. Before moving to Playa del Carmen, he used to fish Cabo San Lucas and Baja California, where he accumulated much of his knowledge of offshore sportfishing. He's been fishing Playa del Carmen for over 25 years now and knows all the best spots to hook massive Billfish, Dorado, Amberjack, and more. When Capt. Benjamin isn't competing in local tournaments, you'll most likely find him on the water with customers or fishing with friends. He invites you to explore some of the nicest fishing grounds off the coast of southern Mexico and chase trophy pelagics with Sport Fishing Arantza!

    Another Great Playa Fishing Adventure

    Halvdagstur • 2 voksne

    The morning started out slow and I don't believe any of the other boats were having much luck either. The captain decided to try one of his favorite spots to fish for Trigger Fish. Instantly, they were biting - it was insane! This was my first time fishing for Triggers and it took some getting used to, but the crew took their time to coach me and I had an amazing time. Honestly, I'd go back just to fish for Trigger Fish! And if you haven't eaten them - you're missing out! We also caught a barracuda and a king mackerel! I definitely recommend!!!!

    Indberettet fangst:
    Kongemakrel
    Aftrækkerfisk (Grå)
    Barracuda (Stor)

    Fun Morning Out!

    Halvdagstur • 3 voksne • 1 barn

    We had a great morning fishing! There was not tons of action trawling but we did manage 2 small tuna. Jigging the bottom got us 10+ good sized fish in 30 minutes. The crew worked hard to make sure everyone got in on the fun.

    Whilst it seemed like a quiet day for fishing with most of the other boats not catching a fish. We managed to pull out a large Barracuda! The crew then stopped off on the way back and setup a couple of rods to fish on the bottom where we also caught a variety of other snapper and banana fish. The crew were brilliant and provided everything you could need for a 4 hour trip. 100% would recommend again and it was a fantastic experience. Thanks again!

    We knew this wasn’t the best season to fish but that’s why it’s called “fishing” not “catching“. This was perfect for a quick trip at a very reasonable price. Lots of sargassum to deal with but the crew worked there butts of to keep the bait rigs clean. We will definitely book another trip when we come back to Playa del Carmen. And yes, we did catch fish!

    We (two adults, two kids aged 9 and 11) did a half-way trip with Sport Fishing Arantza. The captain and first mate did not really speak English, and we barely speak Spanish, but despite that, communication worked out quite well. The guys did a good job entertaining our kids as well, let them steer the boat and suggesting we make a stopover at a cenote nearby. We also caught a 1-meter Mahi-mahi, so my husband was happy!

    The Trip was ok but i would not do it again. I burned 250€ and 5 hours of my holiday plus 600 mxn Taxi to the meeting point and back to the hotel just for shipping around. I was really disapointed.. The only fishes we catched were really small, but i asked for barracuda, mahimahi, tuna and so on, not such small ass fishes.

    Went fishing with the whole family (kids 9 & 12 years old). Requested for great barracuda and some snorkeling and got both! Before heading back we also tried bottom fishing and got a lot of fish. This activity was very appreciated by the kids! Good to know that the crew did not speak a lot of english, although it didn’t bother us, they were nice.

Hvad bider på krogen med Sport Fishing Arantza i Playa Del Carmen

Slutningen af regnsæsonen, november i Playa del Carmen er travl. Offshore begynder Stor ravfisk-fiskeriet at tage fart, og selvom Blå marlin og Stillehavssejlfisk ikke fanges i de samme antal som om sommeren, kan de stadig findes.
