    Great day!

    6H. Adventure & Catch Experience • 4 adults

    Very professional captain and crew. Prompt, professional and always working to maximize success and enjoyment. We split our 6 hours between trolling and bottom fishing. While we didn’t hook-up while trolling, we did very well bottom fishing catching around 30 fish, including two types of snapper, grouper, barracuda, needlefish and triggerfish. The lunch was superb. Fresh ceviche and guacamole with chips and fresh fruit. The only knock is that we spent half the time trolling the same waters close to shore with no success. Would have been better to burn a bit more fuel and try a bit further from land, but that didn’t dampen an otherwise productive and pleasant day.

What's biting with Kay Kib -–The Reel Thing 38' in Puerto Aventuras

September is Puerto Aventuras' rainiest month, so keep this in mind when planning your trip. This means there are fewer tourists on the beaches than usual, so surf fishing is especially favorable this time of year.
