4 HOURS FISHING +2HOURS SNORKELING • 5 adultsWe startet out at 8 in the morning, with high hopes. The day got even better! Three Dorado caught. 2, 8 and 10 kilos. No boats better that day. The crew knows what they are doing, and at the same time being perfect hosts. We stopped for snorkeling and saw stingray, tortuga and lots of fishes. Deliscious ceviche from our own cath served back on boat. A day we always will remember. Thank you!

4 HOURS FISHING +2HOURS SNORKELING - 12:30 PM • 3 adults • 1 childFausto and Jeremiah made our fishing experience one to remember. Very courteous and helpful in every way. We caught multiple trigger fish, a big Jack, and a big Barracuda. Their attention to detail was amazing! When we had our snorkeling segment, Fausto prepared the most amazing ceviche we had in our lives (out of the trigger fish we just caught 10 min ago). And Jeremiah made the snorkeling experience to never forget. We loved every minute of our tour. Thank you!

Devin AlumbaughRepeat anglerMissouri, US•Member since 2021•2 trips4.7VerifiedGreat Fishing Trip but Mind The Equipment
4 Hour - Private Fishing Charter - 7:00 AM • 2 adultsWe had a great fishing trip, totaling 3 Mahi(2 additional jumped off the hook before we could get them loaded) and a large barricuda. The crew worked hard to make sure we found fish my only complaint is the lack of a fighting belt or harness, we were only provided a fighting ball/gimbal ball to hold between our legs. This drastically increased the effort required to land a fish.
Jeff PassmoreRepeat anglerTexas, US•Member since 2020•9 trips5.0VerifiedGreat trip - hardworking captain and crew

September sees some of the highest rainfall of the year in Playa del Carmen. But the beaches are relatively quiet, making shore fishing a possibility. Offshore fishing is as good as ever.

Father and Son Fishing
Apr 15, 2026 • Playa Del Carmen
On March 15 at 8:00 AM, we headed out for a 4 hour father and son fishing trip and enjoyed a beautiful morning on the water. They chose trolling for the day, which turned out to be a great option as mahi mahi season has just started and the action is beginning to pick up offshore.
Using live bait and Penn reels, they had a very enjoyable trip and were rewarded with some nice mahi mahi. It was a fun and memorable experience for both of them, with good fishing, great weather, and quality time together on the boat.
A fantastic father and son outing and a great way to kick off the mahi mahi season!
