I’ve been coming to Playa Del Carmen for over 40 years. I remember when it was just a sleepy fishing village! I always come during the winter- usually January and February. People always say “As a fisherman, you should come down here during April and May- the fishing is fantastic!” But, that is just not possible for me. I always take charters when I am here however, and even though we didn’t hook a Marlin, we had some Bonito, hooked a Sierra and lost it and got a bunch of bottom fish to... More

We loved the trip. Coming in the off season we weren’t expecting to catch much but we caught 5 yummy fish! Mario, captain, is kind, personable and extremely knowledgeable. Manuel was great as well! Very laid back atmosphere which is exactly what we were looking for. Caught the sunrise and enjoyed a beautiful morning on the water which is what it’s all about! We took our fish to the restaurant located right where you get in the boat. Watched Manuel fillet all of them right on the beach,... More

What I would tell anyone first of all is that there is never a guarantee on catching a fish, what I expect is that the captain and crew do everything the can to help it happen though. We did catch a nice barracuda but even without that we had a great day on the water, there was ice cold water and pop, and lots of stories and fun times had. A day on the Gulf of Mexico with my brother made it a win no matter what. Mario and Emmanuel made the experience too notch. I highly recommend them to anyone!

Unfortunately although we are less than a month away from the main season the captain informed us that for the past week nobody has really caught anything. However, he had a good game plan we followed it and it paid off for us. The captain was funny, well knowledged of the area, and was a straight shooter from the start. The first mate was very professional, was very good about keeping all the lines baited and seaweed free, and good with noticing our needs. Just when we thought we were going to... More

It’s called fishing not catching for a reason, but the fish Gods smiled on us and we Caught the Fish!!! Mario is an experienced Captain, that has been fishing since a young boy, knows where the fish are. Manuel the First Mate, also an experienced fisherman, effortlessly kept the lines baited and in the water. They were prompt and very professional. They also filleted our catch and facilitated the local bar/grill to prepare our fresh catch for an amazing dinner. The experience was worth every... More
