We ended up switching to a sister boat, the “Why Not” a couple days before the trip for maintenance issues. Let me tell you, I could’ve be happier with the switch, the crew Captain Freddy, two mates Renee & Miguel were incredible & so hospitable! They worked hard to find the bite & keep us in the fish. Ended with 5 Barracuda, one really nice! Lost one sail fish at the boat but that’s fishing. They made fresh guacamole & fresh ceviche out of one of the fish, & let me tell you it was incredible!! Highly recommend!!

We booked with Grand Slam but he was full and offered us to go on the Why Not boat and we accepted. Both the captain and his hand were fantastic. They worked their butts off the full 4 hour trip!

We knew it was end of season, but wanted our teen boys to experience this in Mexico with us, so took a chance. We ended up catching 5 gorgeous Mahi Mahi and lost a 6th during transfer to the boat. We also reeled in a 45lb Wahoo but its teeth cut the line before we were able to get it in the boat. All in all, they did everything in their power to put us on fish and make it a memorable experience. Can’t say enough great things about them!

Also a huge thank you to Pedro for recommending, since his boat was booked up. Would absolutely do it again!!!

My fiance and I were staying in playa del Carmen and took a ferry across to Cozumel. Where Grand Slam and its crew were patiently waiting just down the road a few hundred yards. Once lines were out we had a double on about 4 to 6lbs dorado and it never stopped. We fished for 8 hours starting at about 830 and the longest we went without putting a fish in the boat was about 45 mins. We had chances they just didn’t stick during that 45 mins around noon. We ended up with 17 dorado one of them was a big Bull mahi mahi about 35 lbs. We had another big one come off right at the boat. And one small barracuda. The crew never stopped working the rods and changing baits and since I am an experienced fisherman’s they ran me through their operations and had me letting out rods during a period where we put 6 fish in the boat and dorado were jumping and chasing our baits all around us. They kept stealing our baits and flying out of the water. It was just my fiance and I and it was something we will never forget.

This was out third time with this crew. The boat was on time and the crew and Captain were very nice and spoke English very well. They are fun and make you feel welcome.  These guys worked so hard and we had young Antonio that was learning the ropes and you could see the respect he had for his elder crew members Augusto and Captain Victor. You don’t see much of that work ethic and respect in North America anymore so it’s gives me hope for humanity. The fishing was very slow but these guys tried everything they could and about 5 minutes before we got to our Pier to finish our trip they hooked into a nice sailfish.  that’s fishing for you but any day fishing beats a day at work. Will be fishing with them again in the future that’s for sure.

It was easy to get there from the cruise port. I got the address and got a taxi that took us to the other side of the island it was super easy about 10 minutes. The captain and mate we’re waiting and took us right away it was a calm day I knew a little late in the season to catch any special fish so we hit shallower waters and caught barracuda all day. If you’re taking a cruise to Cozumel you can definitely use these guys don’t use the shore excursions they’re so expensive from the ship. I will be flying back in May to fish a couple days with them again.
