    If you're hoping to target a specific species within the Nichupte Lagoon the 6-hour trip is the one for you! Go after Tarpon, Jacks, Sea Trout, Barracuda and Snapper year-round in this brackish reserve. If it's Bonefish or Permit you're after, head down between May and October. There are no motorized boats allowed in most areas of the reserve so the calm waters are ideal for sight casting. Spinning and fly gear await on board, as do soft drinks and bottled water. There's a US$15 dockage fee per person.

    Conveniently located on the Cancun hotel zone you don't have to travel far to get a world class inshore fishing experience. We fish inside the lagoon called the Nichupte Lagoon. We do not go out to the ocean so you'll be fishing in calm waters mostly close to the mangroves. The boat rides are short so you'll get maximum fishing time. We fish for Baby Tarpon and Snook year round and in the summer months Bonefish and Permit as well. There's an additional dock fee/national fee of 15 per person upon check-in.

Permit are fast, wary game fish that test any angler’s nerves. Permit fishing in Mexico stands out thanks to clear flats, warm water, and huge stretches of untouched coastline. Here you can stalk tailing fish in skinny water and watch the entire eat unfold.

Guides target Permit by sight fishing on shallow flats. You will pole or wade while scanning for shadows and nervous water. Fly fishing with crab or shrimp patterns works well. Spinning with small jigs, live crabs, or shrimp is also effective. Light tackle, long casts, and thin fluorocarbon leaders help fool these sharp-eyed fish.

Most trips run on shallow-draft skiffs with space for two anglers. Expect quiet, careful moves, many shots, and bursts of fast action. First-timers are welcome, but quick, accurate casts help a lot. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses, a hat, and good flats shoes. Your captain will provide tackle on most trips, but you can bring your favorite rod.

Mexico offers world-class Permit flats along the Caribbean side of the Yucatán Peninsula. Broad areas include Ascension Bay and Espiritu Santo Bay, plus the flats near Isla Holbox, Isla Blanca, and Cozumel. Productive water also stretches along the Riviera Maya and down into remote mangrove backcountry.

Rules change by area, so check local fishing license needs and any Permit-specific rules before you go. Ask your captain about current seasons, harvest limits, and protected zones. Practice safe handling, and release fish quickly when required.

    Top Notch!!!

    This is the best charter I have ever taken. Captain and crew were superb! The captain put us on our target fish and we could have caught Marlin all day if time permitted. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone!
