    Unforgettable!

    5 Hour Offshore fishing • 2 adults

    If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure in Isla Mujeres, Keen International is your go-to team. They’re seasoned pros who go above and beyond to help you reel in the fish you’ve been dreaming of. My wife and I had an incredible time on the Andrea M. with Keen’s experienced crew. We caught two sailfish, two dolphins, and five bonitas! Thanks, Keen, for making those unforgettable memories with us and your crew.

    Best fishing trip of my life! These guys are the real deal dont even think about booking with anyone else!

    5 Hour Offshore fishing • 2 adults

    We set out for a 5 hour trip aboard the Andrea M and we had the time of out life! arriving at the dock the boat is well kept and in order and the tackle was modern and set up well. The crew was great and freindly and we set out to the fishing grounds, immediately they got to work quickly getting 8 lines in the water with different types of bait and quickly we were into the Bonitas, the crew worked super efficiently as soon as wed get the fish in all the tackle was back in the water, we landed 5 Bonitas in an hour then hooked into a nice wahoo, then came the best one of the day, a big sailfiish! the fight was awesome and the crew got it onboard for pictures and let me release it, truly an amazing experience! After returning to the dock they clean the fish and the boat company owner also owns a restaurant right there so they bring the fish into the kitchen for you and the wahoo became ceviche, sashimi, fish tacos and more. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish and id 100% not think of going out with anyone else when I come back!

    Reported catch:
    Sailfish
    Wahoo

    Good trip overall.

    8 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing • 4 adults

    Weather wasnt the best, big waves all day. after a few hours of trolling and getting nothing we asked to not do a full 8 hours and just do a half day and head in. The captian siad that was fine. On the eay in we trolled closer to land and caught 2 fish we were able to keep. We were still charged the full amount rather than being reduced since we came in hours earlier than we should have. Overall a good trip but would have hoped the price would reflect how many hours we fished.

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Red Snapper
    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you for your review, I am glad that we upgraded your trip to our bigger vessel Keen M II 41 ft, we are sorry the weather did not cooperate, we hope to have you in the future with calmer seas.

    Great Fishing Trip of a lifetime!

    8 Hour Trip – Big Game Fishing • 2 adults

    We had a great time! We caught not one, not two, not three, not four, but Five Sailfish! One Tuna, and one Mahi Mahi. The captain and the two deckhands worked their butts off from the time we left the dock and all the way back to shore. They where working on getting ready for the next day. Respooling for new line, getting bait prepared for the next day. They were very hard workers. True professional service.

    Reported catch:
    Sailfish
    Blackfin Tuna
    Great Barracuda

    Started off bad but got got better

    Special 3 hr. Fun Fishing • 2 adults

    We had made an appointment for a 1pm barracuda fishing trip. When we got there at 1pm there was no crew and after asking around we finally got to talk to a lady on the phone explaining that the captain had been in a motorcycle accident and was being held by police. She told us to come back in one hour and a new captain, Luiz, was going to come and take over. We came back 1 hour later but there was still no captain for Andrea M. The captain for another boat explained that Lois had also been a motorcycle accident and we had to switch to his boat Lilly M instead. No problem!! The crew for Lilly M was very nice, professional and organized and we ended up having an amazing time catching 3 Barracudas over the next 3 hours. Even though it started off wrong we still had a truly great experience maybe except for the final part back at the dock when it was time to pay the balance. We had to deal with a rude young girl w a bad attitude talking to us like we were trying to argue with her. I would recommend Keen M to anyone looking for a good trip w a professional crew if it wasn’t for the young girl we had to deal w at the end of the?

    this is my first experience with salt water, and it couldn’t have gone any better. The crew did a great job getting everything ready on the boat. The captain put us on a lot of fish. Caught an awesome Wahoo several Mahi, quite a few bonita and finished off with 2 great sailfish. Trip of a lifetime. Definitely doing it again.
