I learned to fish with my family growing up in a small fishing village in Veracruz. I´ve spent most of my life on the water, whether fishing, working on tours, or spending time enjoying with my family. Being on the water brings my joy and I hope to say this joy with you, your family, or friends. I have worked and lived in Cancun for over 15 years. I have worked in the tours and water-sport industry since 2004, including fishing, snorkeling, swimming, water sports such as speed boats and waverunnners, and large boats such as my current vessel and yachts. I am fully insured and licensed to provide fishing and snorkeling tours, and have a valid captain licensed from the Secretary of Communications and Transportations. I started this business because I love interacting with customers, ensuring they have a great time, enabling them to choose what they will like to do, and spending the most time doing the part of the Tour they enjoy most.

    Busy Day on La Rana

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    It was a beautiful, busy morning on La Rana with Captain Rene. He put us on fish almost immediately… red grouper, parrotfish, blue striped grunt, white grunt, and a parrotfish. 13-15 fish during our sunny 4 hour session. Rene was a helpful guide and made it an easy morning hauling in the fish.

    Reported catch:
    Red Grouper

    Captain Rene made it a great trip.

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a great morning trip with Captain Rene. He was very accommodating and personable. Good conversation and his English is very good, if that's important to you. We had a fish on within a minute of dropping the first line and Rene was very attentive, helping our 7 year old son frequently. Be advised, there's no first mate so the captain is doing everything for the boat and the passengers. If you have more than one member of your party that will need assistance, he might be stretched a little thin with other responsibilities considered. We caught Grunts, Yellowtail, a Triggerfish and a Barracuda. My wife and son both got a little seasick and there was rain headed our way, so Rene graciously allowed us to cut our outing short. Overall it was a success and Rene was an awesome captain for us! Pricing was appropriate as well. Absolutely recommend.

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda

    Great experience

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    We had a wonderful experience with Rene. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We caught plenty of fish and moved around to several different locations. The sea was very flat and the boat was enjoyable. Highly recommend for a calm fishing experience for all levels.

    Great captain and an even greater time fishing!

    Half Day Trip - Afternoon • 2 adults

    We booked last minute and asked the captain if we could stay in calmer waters if possible. He went above and beyond to keep the boat positioned when we encountered any choppy water so that we didn’t feel sea sick! We caught our own baitfish and put them on for barracuda. Rene would point out barracudas in the water to us so we could see them chasing our fish. A great experience!

    Thank you once again for choosing us!

    Great Trip - Son said 10 out of 10

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Book a trip for my son and myself. We caught a handful of small fish and one really nice sized barracuda which my son was able to reel in so mission accomplished.

What's biting with La Rana Cancun Sportfishing in Cancún

October is still wet in Cancun. A transitional month for fishing, it notices a steep decrease in the number of pelagic fish being caught, with bottom fishing taking precedence offshore. This is the last good month for Tarpon fishing.
