Captain
Rene Cruz Trinidad

Member since August 2020 Cancún, Mexico
Background
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.
Techniques
I enjoy sport fishing because it is easy to learn. The equipment is simple and you do not need a lot of experience. It is great for various ages and levels. You are always guarantee a catch. With the method we use, you have the option to keep your catch or safely release back into the water, the option is yours. We preferred a laid-back relaxed approach to fishing in the calmer inshore or near reef waters where you have a drink and enjoy the sun and the view.
