    Meet the Captain

    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!

    Had a great time as a beginner!

    Had a fantastic time with these guys. They were very informative and very friendly for beginners - we've basically never fished before. They took care of getting us our permits for us for a reasonable fee. Our guide Michael was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we had a great 5 hours out on the water. Caugt some lovely bonito tuna, kept some and left the rest for the captain. Lovely experience, would do again!!!
