    Amazing trip

    4 Hour Trip (copy) • 2 adults

    Nelson and his crew are hands down one of the best fishing crews I’ve ever been out with! We were catching fish nonstop from start to finish. The crew was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and always on top of their game when it came to rigging, setting lines, and getting us hooked up on fish. Their experience and attention to detail really made the trip unforgettable. I highly recommend fishing with Nelson and his crew if you’re looking for an incredible day on the water. I’ll definitely be back!

    The Best Part of Our Vacation!

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Nelson, Ricardo and Victor ("Pastel") were absolutley amazing. Nelson's communication and service was the best. I can't remember when I have ever had such great customer service. There were 4 of us on this excursion. We started out near the Mayan ruins of Tulum and headed south along the coast. The crew set up 5 trolling rigs. Within in 10 minutes we heard "fish on". Barracuda would be the catch of the day as we pulled in 7 good sized fish, along with one really hard fighting jack. Fresh Ceviche from the one of the Cudas was on the menu and boy was it delicious. Finished off the trip with some snorkeling to see turtles and rays. Nelson and his crew were so awesome that my wife and I will be using him again on our solo trip in February. Don't bother with any other boats, Paseos Albotros Tulum is the only way to go!

    What an awesome experience!

    6 Hour Trip • 5 adults

    Whenever we have a family holiday close to the sea, we try to get a fishing trip in, because we like the combination of being out on the water and the thrill of hopefully catching our evening meal. This experience in Tulum with Captain Nelson and his son Rafael and crew was a slam dunk!. They clearly know what they are doing on the fishing front, and captain Nelson easily combines that with being a great and hospitable host to his guests. We got a boat full of fish, more than we could take home ourselves. Hands down the best fishing trip we ever had as a family. I could not recommend captain Nelson more!

    Amazing fishing trip. Amazing crew!

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults • 1 child

    I selected this charter based off the reviews, and boy were they right! Nelson and his crew were absolutely incredible! From the moment we made eye contact on the beach, Nelson provided a happy, positive, and welcoming vibe! As we all know, positive energy is crucial when fishing! We started the trip by posting up in front of an old ruin and receiving a short history lesson about the mayan/mexican culture. After that, we headed out to land some fish. Within minutes, FISH ON!!! My 12 year old son reeled in a spanish mackeral! Roughly 15 minutes later, we were cruising along a trail of kelp/seaweed to find a school of fish frolicking in the kelp. Then BAM, FISH ON!! My son then reeled in a nice size Silver Jack. We caught three fish the first hour of our six hour trip. Over the course of next few hours we caught roughly 6 or 7 nice size barracuda. Around hour four, of trolling and watching Nelson and crew work incredibly hard, while singing and dancing to local tunes, I mentioned to Nelson fhat this is our 9th time chartering a boat and we have never caught a Mahi! Nelson said to me, “Well then, LETS GO GET EM!’ Thankfully the waters were calm, and we headed further out. Nelson said, “this is where they like to hang out.” Were now on hour five and my son and I watching time tick away. Nelson and crew never gave up, kept the postive energy flowing, working imcredibly hard shaking the lines and changimg the baits. Then…..BOOM!!! FISH ON!! ITS A MAHI!!! I hopped in the chair and battled this fish for 25 minutes! I was overly excited and Nelson calmly told me, relax, we have nothing but time!! I slowed down, pulled the rod up, and watched it bend. It was surreal, being out in the carribean, calm waters, slowly battling this beautiful fish! We won the battle! We headed back to land, Mahi filleted, and headed to a local restauraunt with Nelson and crew where we all ate some butter garlic mahi and ceviche! Thank you Nelson and Crew! That was a trip my son and I will never forget!
