Eric AndrewsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing Crew for a Great Experience
FULL DAY GIMME ALL PACKAGE โข 2 adultsMan did we have a good time on our fishing trip! I can't say enough how great the crew was. We didn't have the best bite but Captain and Crew adjusted throughout the day to ensure we caught some fish. WE did everything from trolling deep water, trolling shallow water, to bottom fishing for a bit. We caught a variety of fish including Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, and Jack Fish. Would have only been happier with a better bite but the boat and crew made the trip worth it. Afterwards, the crew cut everything up and recommended a local spot to have the fish prepared 3 different ways before we headed back. I couldn't recommend that experience enough. It was amazing! All-in-all, you'd struggle to find a better crew! Thanks for the awesome trip!
Response from CaptainThanks for the nice review. We hope to see you again on a future vacation. ๐๐ฝ
Roz Storey5.0VerifiedSuper Fun Time - Highly Recommend
Full Day Trip โข 6 adultsWe (husband & wife) did an 8 hour trip with Captain Jovany & crew (Mariano & David) & had a fantastic time. We started out strong fishing with both of us catching a Mahi Mahi about 30 minutes in. We saw 2 very large turtles (between 2' & 3' across while out on the water fishing. We stopped about 4 hours in at a reef & did some snorkeling while the captain made ceviche with some of our catch. The ceviche was delicious with the tortilla chips provided. We were also given watermelon & pineapple...yum! While snorkeling, we saw 3 stingrays, a turtle & lots of other small fish at the reef. Captain & crew were always checking in to make sure we were doing good. Ended the day with 4 Mahi Mahi & 1 barcuda. We had 2 Mahi Mahi that got away (so sad!). Captain Jovany fillets the Mahi Mahi for us to bring back to our apartment, so we will be having lots of Mahi Mahi tacos in the future & hubby will try his hand at ceviche. The crew was always working the lines to make sure they were free of seaweed (a full-time job) & the bait was good. They were always working, never just sitting around. A good pair to have on the boat so the Captain can captain. If you are looking for fun in the sun & a wonderful memory making opportunity, I highly recommend Captain Jovany, the crew & boat.

Ryan Illa5.0VerifiedSUCH A BLAST!
3/4 Day Trip โข 2 adultsA buddy and I booked a 6 hour trip, and it was incredible. Trip started at 7am, and by 7:45 we had a sailfish and a gorgeous mahi. It was so cool watching the guys continually make adjustments to the gear and techniques as we changed depths and areas. They explained what they were doing, and it was so cool to learn why. We stopped to bottom fish for bait, and then we headed to their honey hole and caught 15-20 big triggerfish. You couldnโt find three better guys to get you out on the water. Thanks again, fellas!

Jeff SmeetonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWhat a fantastic day
Full Day Trip โข 1 adultWhat a terrific day. Truly memorable. Always apprehensive when booking a trip based solely on reviews and not having had personal recommendations- but there was no reason to be. The day was totally excellent. We had windy conditions and quite a large swell but within an hour a Mahi Mahi was in the boat and so too a large Sailfish of around 35kg. 30 min later and a larger Sailfish arrived. Arm aching stuff. No other boats were catching so hats off to the skipper - his 14 yrs experience paying dividends. After another MM lost at the boat we bottom fished for some trigger fish and snapper (for lunch) which was great fun and non stop action. Captain took us to a beautiful bay for lunch where he made the most incredible ceviche. Best meal so far. In addition on this trip i saw large turtles, a huge stingray, remora, flying fish, frigate birds, a pelican sat next to me on the boat, and then to cap it off capitan filleted my snapper and mahi mahi and my family and I had the most wonderful meal and the adjacent restaurant. Just a magical day. Thank you capitan - incredible memories made

Sean CarrollRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Crew
Half Day Trip โข 2 adultsThe captain had help from Mariano and David. We had an issue getting a Taxi in the morning (Communication Issue). I messaged the boat, and they responded quickly. We showed up about a half hour late, and the Captain and crew were happily waiting for us. We were trolling within minutes of leaving shore. We trolled for a couple of hours with no success. Seemed like other boats were having a similar morning. The captain then had us bottom fish for a bit. We brought in trigger fish and a banana fish, and a big Cuda! The seas were choppy, but the captain did a great job maneuvering through the water! We would happily fish with this boat again!

What's biting with โญ๏ธ The Boat Sport Fishing โญ๏ธ in Playa Del Carmen
With the bulk of the Billfishing having come to an end, sport fishing in Playa del Carmen slows down slightly in October. It's just in time for the high tourist season to pick up, with cruise ships arriving and hotel rates rising.
