You will be in great hands with The Boat. Our family of four had an amazing morning on the water. We trolled and caught bonito tuna, found a school of triggerfish while bottom fishing, and even made a sea turtle friend during a brief snorkel. On the way back, we landed more bonito and a king mackerel.

The crew was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. Communication with the owner was fast, clear, and transparent, and they were incredibly accommodating when we ran into an unexpected situation. That level of care really stood out.

You’ll be in very good hands with The Boat. They’re a high quality, trustworthy local business, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone fishing out of Playa del Carmen.

My girlfriend and I went out with Jovany and his crew. We did a half day trip with a mix of snorkeling. She had no experience fishing and they were patient and helpful as they assisted her landing her first fish. We were unsuccessful trolling but landed many when we started bottom fishing. Jovany told us about the fish we were catching, and the nature around us. He and his crew were fast at adjusting our lines and keeping them baited so we could maximize our short time (4hrs, if you have the money do the full 8 I was sad when the trip ended).
The snorkeling was great my girlfriend enjoyed it and the reef was home to many creatures. We saw a large turtle that came right up to the boat and swam around us.
I highly recommend this boat and crew for all levels of skill. I’ve been on many charters in the pacific north west of Canada and Jovany was the best guide I have met.
At the end of out trip he organized a local chef in a very nice restaurant to cook us a 3 course meal with the fish we caught. It was one of the best meals we had on our trip. He made ceviche, a simple fire grilled preparation, and a beer battered preparation.
Great day and will be the highlight of our trip. Next time we are in PDC we will book back in with Jovany. He also provided beer, and water. He was quick to reply via the fishing booker app. Sadly as we got off the boat my girlfriends phone fell in the water. Jovany, his crew, and some of the local fisherman were relentless in their search. They were dedicated to trying to help us. Very, very nice guys and a great crew to spend a day on the water with.

our trip was originally scheduled for Friday. But the seas were very rough. The captain texted me to inform me. He thought it would be unsafe for us to go. Easily rescheduled for Sunday morning. When the captain starred the boat right to where the fish were. We caught plenty! My wife actually caught about 12 to my five lol. we finished off the trip by going snorkeling. Had a great spot that the captain brought us too. Where we got to swim with the sea turtles!

We will definitely be back when down next to playa del carmen. the amount of fish caught and fish/turtles saw during snorkling was incredible. We ran into some hiccups obtaining transportation between our resort and the dock in the AM, and the captain worked with us to make sure we still made the tour. His reponse times via the app were also prompt and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for an incredible 40th birthday present between a boy and his dad.
