3/4 Day with Roger, Bartolo & Brian on 7/21/17

VERIFIED NEW Went fishing on Friday, July 21, 2017

I don’t normally review trips of any kind online, but after our trip with Cheel Beh last week, I felt compelled to.  My 2 teenage grandsons & I went out with Roger, Bartolo & Brian on 7/21/17 for a 3/4 day trip.  Before even arriving, Roger touched base several times via email to find out about us and what our expectations were.  On the day of our trip, we were blessed with incredibly calm seas and great weather and landed 5 nice mahi mahi.  When finishing the day & heading in, we stopped & jigged up whatever was swimming on the bottom & landed a few grouper & yellow tail snapper…Constant action that the boys enjoyed as well.  The weather, fishing and camaraderie on the boat, in/of itself made for a first class fishing trip, but the ‘after-trip’ really pushed the experience over the top. 

When we got back to the dock, Roger ran to the store to grab veggies for ceviche, while Bartolo filleted the fish.  Roger came back & enlisted the boys to help with the ceviche, while Bartolo took some of the fish to get fried. My grandsons/I are all fisherman, but somehow we’ve missed out on ever making/eating ceviche.  It was easily the best meal we had on our trip.  When we had all finished up, Roger gave us a ride back to our place in Playa Del Carmen.

I can’t stress enough the level of preparation/attentiveness Roger & his crew showed.  It is VERY evident that 1) fishing is their passion; 2) they are serious about what they do; 3) they understand how important the customer is.  We could’ve gone out and not caught a single fish, and the whole trip would still have been worth it/made for a great day.  In my opinion, as a fisherman, the experience is just as important as the catch.

On our 4 day trip to Playa, we did A LOT of activities, but our fishing with Roger & his crew was hands down the best time we all had.  It made for some really cool memories.  If you are planning to fish on your trip to Mexico, you can’t go wrong with Cheel Beh!

3/4 Day fishing trip with Cheel Beh fishing

Booked fishing trip and had good contact with Roger right up to the point we left for fishing.  We met Roger at Puerto Aventuras and met the captain and first mate at the dock.  We loaded on the boat and headed out.  We tried fishing for bill fish, but were unsuccessful.  Roger and crew decided to change tactics and we started bottom fishing.  We were successful, and managed to catch 6 trigger fish.  After the fishing we were able to enjoy some authentic ceviche that Roger made for us.  Talking with other anglers that went out on the same day, the other charters were unsuccessful in catching anything.  We appreciated Roger and crews willingness to change approach on fishing, to ensure a good overall experience.  We highly recommend using Roger with Cheel Beh fishing for a positive experience.

Roger took great care of my son and I on our fishing adventure, meeting us at the point of departure, telling us what to expect, and introducing us to Captain Bartolo and Mate Bryan, who did an awesome job of finding the right places to catch and helping us to land some really nice fish.  Afterward, Roger prepared our catch into some delicious ceviche, and then gave us a ride back to our hotel, saving us a significant amount in cab fare.
Next time I am in the Playa del Carmen area, I will definitely get in touch with my new friend Roger to help us again have a great day catching fish!

Hello Mike,

We always do our best with the right tackle in the spots we know are the best for catching fish, unfortunately even in the middle of the season, luck is a factor we can’t control, I went out on Saturday and within 10 minutes after taking off from the Marina we had a Sailfish…
We are looking forward to take you fishing again in a near future.

Best

Surprise Trip with Roger!

I originally booked a half-day trip with Rogers on his 26 foot Cobia.  Turned out the timing of the booking conflicted with an already scheduled fishing tournament so he had to find us another boat.  Although I was a little disappointing at first… Rogers showed up with a 50+ ft fishing yacht and we were joining him and his crew for a full-day fishing tournament hunting marlin!!! :)
It was a great day and although we didn’t catch a marlin, we landed 6 Mahi Mahi and 1 Barracuda.  Considering this was my first deep sea fishing trip, I was more than impressed.  Roger and his crew were extremely hard working, professional and very accommodating.  Thank you for a great day.  Hope you landed a big one on day-2 of the tourney!!!!
Looking forward to booking again,
Dennis

Hello Dennis,

It was a great pleasure fishing and sharing a 1 day fishing tournament with you and your friend, day 2 was slower than day 1 and didn’t land the Blue Marlin but a lot of fun!

Looking forward to fishing with you again.

Half Day Trip with Capt Bartolo

VERIFIED Went fishing on Friday, March 31, 2017

My wife and two children fished on the boat named Wahoo 03-31-2017.  The boat is very nice, clean, and well equipped.  Capt Bartolo and first mate Brian are expert fishermen.  It takes maybe 15-20 minutes to leave the marina and motor out to the fishing grounds.  Not too long after setting the lines out Capt Bartolo had us hooked up with a Dorado.  After that, we hooked a sailfish on the downrigger line.  The Capt handed me the fishing pole as he and the first mate reeled in the other lines.  As they were doing that another sailfish hit one of the other lines.  Unfortunately, that fish was able to shake loose, so we missed having a double. 
My kids did have a small issue with sea sickness due to windy conditions.  (However, my wife and I did not.). We decided to cut the trip a little short for the kids’ sake.  The trip was still a very positive experience for us without a doubt.

The best part of this experience was how flexible Roger was…We had some planning issues and he quickly accommodated those, then we had such a great time we extended our half day in to a full day.
The Captain and Mate were outstanding, this is the right choice when looking to go out fishing in this area.
