    Good barracuda fishing

    5 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM • 3 adults • 2 children

    Had an awesome time on this fishing charter! We caught 7 barracudas and had a great day out on the water. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure we had a successful trip. I brought my two kids along, and they made the experience fun and enjoyable for everyone. It was a great family fishing experience, and we made some awesome memories. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great day of fishing in Cancun. We'd definitely book again!

    Amazing time!

    6 Hour Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Did a six hour trip with Alex and Angel. We sailed through the most beautiful turquoise water I have ever seen. Pulled so many barracuda out of the sea that we had multiple hooked at the same time! Maxed out at 17 massive fish before we ran out of bait. First mate Angel stayed on top of it with baiting and resetting the hooks and Captain Alex brought us to the most amazing fishing spots I’ve ever been. Thank you! It will be a memory we never forget.

    This guy knows how to catch fish

    Barracuda Inshore Fishing 1 • 1 adult

    Was on my last day of my weeklong trip to Cancun, and wanted to do a little fishing. After not getting a response from 2 other chapters, messaged this boat and they said they would take me. Arrived at the dock in the morning boat and crew were ready to go. At first I was a little skeptical on going out on a 25 ft panga boat offshore but Capt. Mauro knew how to handle the boat. Once we got to the fishing grounds and we quickly hooked up on a couple of small bonitos. We used them for bait and did some bottom fishing and quickly landed a few fish--2 types of trigger fish, grouper, mango snapper, and a barracuda. The snapper I kept and he recommended a restaurant near the dock where they turned it into the most amazing ceviche I ever had. Overall great captain and mate, would recommend. A couple of recommendations: 1. 3 hrs in not enough time, so I extended it to 4 hrs. 2. If you get seasick easily this boat is not for you (at least bring anti seasickness medicine. I have my own boat so I'm used to being in the water)

    Perfect Weather!

    5 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    Booked a 5 hour trip, to give us more time out onbthe ocean. Fishing was a bit slow, but not beacause of Angel (first mate), he worked hard keeping the sargasm off the tackle. Alex (Captain) was very friendly and knowledgable. We were able to catch a secent sized Mahi and bug Barracuda. also caught 2 small Rainbow Runners and a small Bonito. Both crew worked hard and tried their best to get us on fish. We even dropped the Bonito in a hook for 10 minutes on the way backnin to try to catch something BIG, but. o luck. I would recommend Nuj Kay for annyone who wants a hardworking crew! No complaints! We took our catch back to our hotel and they did a great job preparing our haul!

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    Worth Every Penny

    6 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    I cannot say enough positive things about this experience, but I’ll try my hardest. We were warmly greeted at the marina by Captain Hugo, and shown to the Nuj Kay consisting of Captain Alex and First Mate Luis. I was joined by my wife and two sons, aged 10 and 9, and we were well taken care of by these experts throughout the duration of our day with them. Firstly, I must call out the professionalism of both Captain Alex and Luis. They are some of the hardest working individuals I’ve personally encountered. Luis was especially hard at work the entire day. These men love to fish, and are excited to help you try to obtain your desired catch. While we spent an hour or so getting to our fishing spot for trolling, First Mate Luis spent his time telling us the history of Isla Mujeres while baiting hooks. Once we dropped lines, we didn’t go a twenty minute period throughout the day without getting fish on hooks, and even included twice at the same time which made for some fun battling and minor logistical challenges to avoid crossing lines. Today, tuna was extra hungry, and we were able to come away with four - one for each of us, with a dorado escaping shortly after setting the hook. The real prize came ten minutes after our fourth tuna when a sailfish decided to join the party. This was a trophy fish for me personally, and Captain Alex and Luis did everything in their power to help me reel it in successfully, from coaching, encouragement, and proper boat handling required for a successful battle. I’m thankful for their expertise because I was successful catching an 87” sailfish that I happily will have taxidermied for display. It was an incredible day and I fully recommend the Nuj Kay for your fishing trip. The boat is not luxurious (but absolutely capable - beverages provided, toilet access, etc), but I knew that before booking and trusted the reviews on this website and others recommending Nuj Kay, and I’m so glad I did!

    Reported catch:

    The experience was overall a postiive one! We were able to get into deep waters off the coast and catch some nice barracuda. The only critiques i would have is that the crew could have been a bit more expressive and communicative, but the fishing itself was very good.

    Took my 8 year old son out on his first trip. Captain Alex and his first mate were great!! Weather wasn’t the best, but it didnt stop them from getting us on some nice fish. My son wanted to catch a barracuda, and they made it happen. Along with some nice mahi. Great gear, great bait, and nice clean boat!! Highly recommend.

    Aside of the fact that they did not have cerveza, it was an amazing trip. Captain Alex and the mate Angel were fantastic. I caught 8 tuna and 6 mahi mahi. I was exhausted but happy. I would definitely recommend these guys!
