Keen M Sport Fishing - Lilly M 

We booked an 8 hr trip, and the first fish hooked up was a sailfish! My son let his best friend reel in the first fish, and he may have been regretting it a bit after seeing the size of one of his bucket list fish. However, the crew worked tirelessly to keep fresh bait in the water, and incredibly, a few hours later, my son landed a large sailfish of his own. Two in one trip? Amazing! In between those trophies, we reeled in 5 gorgeous Mahi and about a dozen Bonita. Having been on multiple deep sea fishing charters in various countries throughout the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and Australia. This was by far the most action-packed trip we’ve been on. And we didn’t do any bottom fishing, which is a bonus if you’ve already done that plenty. Trolling for big game fish is unlike anything else. Although no charter will guarantee that you will catch fish (remember it’s called fishing not catching), this captain and crew worked non-stop. I don’t think the boat ever sat still, and the crew manned the 4-6 rods that were in the water at any given time like a well-choreographed dance. They also provided drinks, snacks and tasty sandwiches, which was nice since we had taken a ferry over to the island from our resort in Costa Mujeres. Something I wish I would have paid attention to is the fact that we had to scramble to get transportation to Isla Mujeres. We ended up booking an uber to the ferry port (Puerto Juarez), then buying ferry passes. It’s about a 30 min ferry ride, but we sat on the upper uncovered deck and enjoyed the breeze. On the way back, there was some free entertainment on the ferry ride from a guy with an acoustic guitar that sang and played for everyone. The ferry is convenient because it runs every 30 mins all day long starting at I believe 6:00.

We did catch 7 or 8 barracuda, which was fun. From the advertisement, we felt that we might get a catch that we could eat or have a restaurant prepare for us. We only were able to fish for barracuda (unedible). We asked the captain if we could fish for something that we could eat…but just got a no. Felt it was a pretty expensive trip for nothing to take with us (or the experience of watching them clean our catch).

My girlfriend and I booked the boat for the day. We really had a great day. Captain Luis put us on fish almost immediately when we began fishing. 2 sailfish and over 10 bonita. even if we wouldnt have caight fish, Luis and his mates were great! definitely recommend Keen - M!

El capitán y la tripulación fueron fantásticos. Pescamos un pez vela y suficiente dorado y mero para alimentar a una familia de 10 con sobras. Recomiendo mucho usar el restaurante Blue Ballyhoo para cocinar tu pesca. Ellos la almacenan después de prepararla en el muelle y la convierten en una comida deliciosa a buen precio. Me encantó toda la excursión
