Wow - what an amazing experience!!

The communication and booking in advance was super easy and convenient. Meeting Yovani and crew was easy and in no time we were on the ocean. We hooked up fish within the first hour and the action did not stop. We were a group of 2 adults and one four year old. There was plenty of room on the boat, we had reshreshments and snacks. The team offered to go snorkelling but we decided against as the action did not stop. From 7:30 to 3pm, we caught: 15 red snappers, 3 trigger fish, 2 amberjacks, 2 black snappers, 1 baracuda, and 1 grouper. At the end of the day they were able to drop us off at our resort.

The team was amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly reccomend - wonderful and memorable experience!!

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.

We had a wonderful afternoon flex trip with captain and crew. We did some bottom jigging, trolling and shallow water fishing. We managed to find a big school of trigger fish and caught what felt like maybe 20-25 fish, of which we kept a decent amount to cook up at a restaurant on shore. Captain and crew were very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. They took us to a nearby reef for snorkelling, where we say turtles, sting rays and plenty of fish. Highly recommend, would have booked the full day if I could have.

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.
