    Exceptional Fishing Experience in Cozumel!

    Half Day Trip - 8:30 AM • 5 adults

    If you are heading to Cozumel and looking for a fishing trip to remember, look no further. My three sons and I just returned from a trip last Tuesday, and to say it was a highlight of our time here would be an understatement. Honestly, just being out on the water together as a family making memories was the absolute best part of the experience. The Experience From start to finish, the service was top-tier. They provided absolutely everything we needed—all we had to do was show up ready to fish. The boat itself was perfect; it offered plenty of room for four large adults, plus the three crew members, without ever feeling cramped. The Crew The crew was truly outstanding. They were incredibly friendly and patient, which was a massive help for the newer anglers in our group. Their genuine excitement every time we hooked a fish made the experience that much better. They worked tirelessly throughout the entire 4-hour trip. They put us on six Mahi-mahi, and honestly, they seemed more disappointed than we were that we didn't catch even more! They didn't slow down for a second, even when we pivoted to target Marlin. While the Marlin didn't bite that day, I truly appreciated that they were focused on putting us on the biggest, most exciting fish possible. A Perfect Ending to a Great Day To top off an already incredible day, the crew meticulously cleaned and bagged up all of our fish for us to take home. We took our fresh catch over to Lo Cocay, a fantastic local restaurant right here in Cozumel, and had them cook it up for us. They prepared our Mahi-mahi three separate ways: Parmesan-crusted with a special sauce Cajun-style with a vibrant mango sauce Grilled with a rich, smoky local Mayan black spice (recado negro) It was hands-down some of the best, freshest fish any of us have ever eaten in our lives! Final Thoughts In my view, we caught way more than we expected, and we walked away with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend this group highly enough to anyone visiting Cozumel. You won’t be disappointed—they are a dedicated crew who genuinely cares about making your day special. Give them a try; you'll be glad you did!

    Another great trip with Aquadventures

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Outstanding Trip with Aqua Adventures This was our third trip with Aqua Adventures, and somehow they just keep getting better. The Fishing: We finished the day with a blackfin tuna and five beautiful mahi while navigating some rain and a bit of chop. The first fish was on within minutes of getting our lines in the water. Throughout the day, the crew worked tirelessly—switching baits, working the weed lines, and constantly searching for fish to keep the action going. The Service: The team picked us up promptly at 7:00 a.m. from our hotel's dock and made the entire experience seamless. They did a fantastic job helping our daughters throughout the trip, providing just the right amount of instruction and encouragement. The boat was kept exceptionally clean all day, and they provided fresh fruit and snacks for everyone on board. At the end of the trip, they expertly filleted our catch so the hotel could prepare some for dinner while packaging the rest for us to take home. The Crew: Absolutely top-notch. Victor and Augusto have been a winning team on every trip we've taken with Aqua Adventures. This time, Antonio joined as deckhand, and he more than carried his weight. The entire crew was professional, hardworking, friendly, and focused on making sure we had a great experience. Overall: Five stars without hesitation. Aqua Adventures continues to exceed our expectations, and we can't wait for our next trip with them! 🎣🐟🌴

    Thank you so much, Dan! It was truly a pleasure having you and your family back with us for a third trip. Reviews like yours mean a lot to our entire team. We’re glad Mother Nature cooperated enough for us to put together a great day on the water despite the rain and choppy conditions. Catching a Blackfin Tuna and several beautiful Mahi Mahi made for an exciting trip, and we’re happy to hear you appreciated the crew’s hard work throughout the day. Victor, Augusto, and Antonio will be thrilled to hear your kind words. They take great pride in making every trip enjoyable, whether it’s helping experienced anglers, assisting young fishermen, or making sure everyone is comfortable and having fun. Thank you as well for mentioning the hotel dock pick-up, the fresh snacks, and the fish cleaning service. We know the little details can make a big difference, and we’re always working to provide a seamless experience from start to finish. We truly appreciate your continued trust in Aquadventures and look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Cozumel for trip number four! Tight lines and see you soon!

    4 hour fishing trip Oct 1, 2026

    Half Day Trip - 9:30 AM • 4 adults

    The fishing experience was great! While we only caught 1 fish in 4 hours, you could tell the crew was really really trying. The crew was constantly changing over bait and lures to try and get a bite. Fishing has it's up and down days so one fish was no one's fault, just how it goes some days. My husband wished it could have been a little more hands on, while I was perfectly okay chilling on the boat while the crew set everything up. The crew does the casting and baiting and only when there is a fish do you get to go up and reel it in. Depends on your preference. overall I highly recommend and would do it again!!!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you so much, Alexis! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Fishing definitely has its slower days, so we’re glad you could see how hard the crew was working throughout the trip, changing baits and lures and trying different options to get you on the fish. Thank you as well for mentioning the “hands-on” aspect. With trolling, the crew normally handles the setup, baiting, and lines so everything is ready when a fish strikes, but we completely understand that some anglers enjoy being more involved. That’s great feedback for us, and something we can always adjust depending on each guest’s preference. We’re very happy you still had a great time with us, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. Hopefully next time the fish are a little more cooperative! 🎣🐟😊 Thank you again for fishing with us!

    amazing trip

    3/4 Day Trip - 8:30 AM • 6 adults • 1 child

    took my kids out for the first time ocean fishing and we had a great wxperince. ive done a bunch if fishing and theae guys worked hard to get us into fish. we put 3 maui on the boat and they did stop working for us the whole time. We fought a bunch or sea weed on the surface and they did a great job get it wkrmed off the lines. even recommended a local cool who would cook the fish up for us as we couldnt take it back on the boat. Food was amazing. Totally recommend these guys. Well worth it.

    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you so much, Aaron! It means a lot to hear that you and your kids had such a great first offshore fishing experience with us. We’re especially happy the kids enjoyed it — those are the kind of memories that last forever. Captain Victor and the crew always work hard to stay on the fish and keep the lines clean, especially on those heavy weed days, so they’ll be glad to hear your words. And we’re glad you got to enjoy your mahi the local way too — fresh on the island is hard to beat! Thank you again for fishing with us and for trusting us with your family trip. We hope to have you back in Cozumel again soon! 🎣

    Great crew and best fishing ever!

    Half Day Trip - 9:30 AM • 2 adults

    We came off a cruise ship and we did not realize that the ship time and Cozumel time were different so we had to change times and the captain was most accommodating! From the moment we arrived the crew was working hard baiting poles. We only had 4 hours and we caught 3 Mahi mahi and 2 barracudas. They cleaned the fish and we took it to a restauant and 5 of our friends from the ship had a great fresh fish lunch!! Will book everytime we go to Cozumel!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Great Barracuda
    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you so much, Karen! It was a pleasure having you and your group with us. We’re really happy we could adjust the timing and make everything work out smoothly despite the cruise ship time difference. Sounds like it turned into an amazing day on the water — 3 mahi and 2 barracudas in just 4 hours is a great catch! And even better that you got to enjoy it fresh with your friends afterward. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for trusting us with your fishing trip in Cozumel. We’ll be ready for you next time! Safe travels and see you again soon.

    mahi mahi were biting this week, so that is what we ended up with! lots od weeds, good water, just hit or miss depdnding on the day. For someone who jsut wants to get out on fish for a few hours, is reccommend something else; if you want to go try to find them & put in the work, these guys will do it. 🫡🤙🏼

After having so many days of bad weather (strong winds and high waves), the season is staring nicely! Mahi Mahi are regulars on every trip and Billfish are becoming a common sight too. Tournaments are starting this weekend and will have them every weekend from now and for more than a month. Sailfish make great pictures. This is the time of the year that we like to invite everyone to come down and fish the area.

Blackfin Tuna and Mahi Mahi

Jul 3, 2023 • Cozumel
Great day today on both boats ("Grand Slam" and "Why Not?"). The day was a bit cooler, we are finally over the heat wave and fish are responding immediately. It was mostly cloudy, with a light wind from the east-southeast, we were able to find seaweed lines and birds were active (again). Got some good-sized Dorados on the boat along with blackfin tuna. These fillets are going to Texas!! They will make great dinners for some time.

Mahi Mahi catches picking up!!

Jul 3, 2023 • Cozumel
The heat wave has finally passed and Mahi Mahi are responding to it. Both boats ("Grand Slam" and "Why Not?") have been very busy today with them getting over 15 fish on the lines. Not only quantity but size has improved. Massive rain last night, and a bit of wind too.... cloudy today, all of these helping cool down the water...Dorado is responding immediately! Fished the Yucatán Channel on a 4-hour trip....wish we could have had more time to see if we could get some billfish too. Awesome day!

It was a tough month.....Heatwave hit us hard! Not easy finding fish but still we managed to come back with a catch on every trip. Hard work, persistence, and patience are key, both on our side and on our clients´. Mostly Dorados (Mahi Mahi) but we also caught wahoo, tuna, and a few Billfish while deep sea trolling and mainly snapper on reef/bottom fishing trips. We really thank all of you who came out fishing with us, 46 trips during the month on both boats ("Grand Slam" and "Why Not") We´ll keep giving our best for you to have fun. We are also hoping to add a 3rd boat soon, we´ll keep you posted.
