Captain
Benjamin Araujo

Member since August 2019 Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
Background
Captain Benjamin Araujo has been fishing off the Yucatan as a licensed captain since 2005. Before moving to Playa del Carmen, he used to fish Cabo San Lucas and Baja California, where he accumulated much of his knowledge of offshore sportfishing. He’s been fishing Playa del Carmen for over 25 years now and knows all the best spots to hook massive Billfish, Dorado, Amberjack, and more. When Capt. Benjamin isn’t competing in local tournaments, you’ll most likely find him on the water with customers or fishing with friends. He invites you to explore some of the nicest fishing grounds off the coast of southern Mexico and chase trophy pelagics with Sport Fishing Arantza!
Techniques
Trolling and bottom fishing
