Happy Fisherman Charters 

Like any real fishing trip you have to catch fish and the big one has to get away. In this case we got two nice first time mahi-mahi for two young anglers and the experienced old guy lost a nice white marlin. Good captain and deck hand. Humered me and used a couple of my lures. One landed one of the mahi-mahi.

These guys tried their hardest for a catch. The weather was not in our favor but these guys made it a fun trip.

Booked on short notice, the crew made accommodations for us. Crew was there to catch fish, which we did plenty of. Great experience for the family and I. Thanks!

Captain Alfonso (or “Chucho”) was very accommodating of our cruise ship schedule. We made arrangements to be back to the ship in time and had a great day! Trolling was the method of choice. We had only 3 fish hooked and only landed 1. As they say, it’s called “fishing” not “catching”! My girlfriend did land her first ever Mahi. In the second picture you see a bent hook. This was from a fish that the Captain thought was a very large Wahoo. They said they’ve never had their reinforced hooks bend like that. Although I didn’t catch it, it was a fun time fighting it. Both Carlos and Alejandro were extremely helpful and worked nonstop to try and get us on some fish. They had drinks, sandwiches, and fruit readily available. With the Mahi, Carlos made us fresh saviche. Thank you to Captain Chucho, Alejandro, and Carlos for a great time.

Book NOW!!! Seriously stop looking and book, you will have the best trip. My sister and I took a trip with Captain Alfonzo and Alejandro we literally had the best trip!! They were so accommodating and did everything they could for us to catch the biggest fish possible. The greatest tool you should pack on your trip is patience!! The fish type and size are not guaranteed, but effort by the caption and crew , and a good time is guaranteed. They had drinks, food, and fresh fruit on deck for us!! I want to thank this team for an unforgettable trip.

My wife and 2-adult sons enjoyed three trips with the Happy Fisherman during our two weeks in Cozumel. During these 3-trips, we caught Yahoo, Barracuda, and Mai Mai! We even got the chance to participate in a Yahoo fishing tournament. Captain Alfonso, David, and Manuel were very supportive and fun. They made us feel like family and I sincerely appreciate their time and efforts to show us tourists a wonderful time. We will definitely see them next year!👍👍

Crew was awesome, we got about 10 mahi and they were great assisting my 11 year old who is new to fishing. Definitely will book again with this charter.

The booking was easy. Got responses back quickly from Captain Alfonso when asking questions. Yari, Charli and Joel worked hard to catch fish. I’m very social so the conversation with these guys was easy and enjoyable. We caught Mahi and then Charli served up ceviche for lunch while we continued to fish. Had plenty of sodas of our choice and margaritas. My wife was grateful for the bathroom facilities on the boat as well. On our next trip to Cozumel we will definitely rebook with this group.

My wife and I booked a 3/4 day trip with the Happy Fisherman and had a blast. We were lucky enough to catch the only fish that my wife wanted to, so that was icing on the cake. The crew was was very pleasant and we enjoyed good conversations with them even though we don't speak Spanish. We are already making plans to come back in the future and when we do, we're booking another trip out to see if we can get my fish this time.

Although it wasn't the best day of fishing, the crew tried all the tricks to hook something. Rerouting to other spots, seeked out the floating seaweed, frequent change of bait and lures, help with the morale, and when we did hook a couple of mahi mahi, the best dang ceviche I have ever had on a fishing boat! Great Captain and 2 man crew. So happy with our trip, we booked another 6h trip with them in a couple of days! We highly recommend Happy Fisherman for all enthusiasts fishing Cozumel!
