    Great day with Captain William

    3/4 Day Trip - Fishing5 adults

    Had an amazing day with Captain William and his crew on the Chutzpah. We caught black fin tuna, mahi mahi, baracuda and spanish mackerel. William and the crew went above and beyond to make it a great day. After fishing captain stopped at a swimming spot while they made fresh ceviche with one of the fish. Was truly a great day. We had a group of 5 adults. We all caught fish. Could nit have been a better day.

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Bluefin Tuna

    Fantastic Experiennce

    8 Hour Trip – Fishing/Snorkeling5 adults

    We caught three Baracuda throughout the day. We lost 2 other fish. The day started out kind of slow but quickly picked up. All three fish we caught were big fish. Captain William and his first mate were easy going and worked hard to get us into some fish. We are getting 2 of the 3 fish mounted. The mounts will serve as an amazing momento and always take us back to our first deep sea fishing experience. It would have been nice if my daughter would have landed the fish she was battling but it was not to be. The only thing that would have made it better is if we could have gotten into a few more fish, but that is fishing. I’m very happy with the fish we caught. Thank you Captain William for an amazing experience in the crystal blue waters of Cancun. Gracias, James

    Great family experience

    6 Hour Trip - Fishing & Snorkeling6 adults1 child

    Booking and communication leading up to our charter was excellent. We had weather concerns (high winds) on our original scheduled day and the captain rescheduled to our preferred new date without any issue. Safety and our well being was stressed. When we arrived we were told the conditions were ok for fishing but our snorkelling portion might not happen again due to high winds. It was unfortunate we were not able to snorkel but we understood and appreciated the safety concerns why we couldn’t. Fishing was amazing. Our group of 6 caught 9 barracudas and lost several others during our 5 hour trip. The captain and first mate were excellent. Highly recommend tbis charter to anyone looking for a great fishing experience.

    Lots of action and amazing crew!

    Half Day Trip – Fishing8 adults

    We were a party of 7, 3 of us have fishing experience while the others did not so we elected to fish between isla mujeres and cancun rather than open sea fishing which would have had much larger waves. Weather was great with some winds causing the boat to rock a bit so unfortunate one of the people in our group got seasick so we had to call off the trip at the 2 hour mark even though we booked 4. The crew was very accommodating and told us we had the choice to keep going or head back whenever based on our request so this was our decision. we caught 6 barracudas in the two hours so it definitely was going to be a lot of action. they gave us the option to take as much or as little fish back with us at no extra charge. Once we got back, they fileted all the fish where we requested to have 4 fillets. They recommended to bring then to a restaurant 10 minutes away at a local marina where we had the fish as ceviche, grilled, blackened, and fried for $15 per person. Super delicious and fresh. Just as others mentioned, the crew worked hard to ensure we caught fish, constantly checking lines, switching out bait, and obviously listening to our requests. Definitely want to give these guys another try for a longer trip, maybe even deep sea with only the true fishing geeks. Great job team and we hope to see you again soon!
