Wahoo was used ..fish bit of tail section but did not hit entire fish…maybe if rigged differently better chances of catching. Lost one king fish due to jump

Captain had his first mate meet us in front of the reef beach club right in front of security. From there you walk down to the beach using a beach road right next to the resort. This is a very short walk maybe a few hundred yards. The boat is anchored in the water so some sort of water shoes is a must. You’re really only knee deep getting on the boat. From there your in beautiful blue water in five minutes. The captain and first mate asked us what we wanted to catch or do we care what we fish for. We wanted a barracuda and these guys did everything they could to get us one. Ballyhoo we’re fished on top weedless, deep with trolling anchors and with skirts and chuggers. They were constantly changing up depths trying to find the fish. There were weed beds making them constantly reel in and clean the rigs and they worked the whole time. There was beer,sodas and water in the cooler for us complimentary. We saw sea turtles , jellyfish and some speargun fisherman along the seedbeds. Seas were 2-3 feet and the boat handled it well. The only fish if the day was this barracuda and they worked for it! I’m Mexico there is always a small language barrier but these guys communicated very well in English and were pretty positive and upbeat guys! I will finish this review with some thoughts.
1- I felt safe the entire time from the first meeting to drop off. It was me and my 11yr old son so this was important.
2- fishing is never a guarantee but these guys work hard and know what they’re doing.
3- the boat is a safe fishing skiff
4- you can fish for what you want ! ( within reason)
5-there is a fighting chair that will fit kids and adults.
I would recommend this charter to anyone wanting to give fishing in Playa Del Carmen a shot. I feel we got way more than we payed for.

Was here a day after hurricane Beryl passed through, everyone was very helping with getting everything replanned and back to catching fish! The crew were knowledgeable and had great conversations throughout the trip. The hurricane threw some challenges when fishing but I did a solo trip and still hit double digits. Great time, didn’t get many pictures from the trip but I’m glad to share the few I had time to snap!
