Our fishing trip was an 8 hr Big Game trip.  Rogelio was very accommodating and picked us up much closer to our hotel so we didn’t have to meet down at the docks.  We had beautiful weather and they dropped the down riggers and out riggers quick and worked the lines to get fish on them.  We started out small with a couple of mackerel and kingfish but started pulling barracuda and larger kingfish in later in the day, with a mahi for each of us right before we headed back in. 

Rogelio and his crew were great, kept the lines busy, my wife, mom and I reeled in about 18 out of the water that day.  The boat is a great size and comfortable.  Would book again and hopefully pull in that sailfish I’ve been after.

We’re probably a bit biased, because Rogelio was our first charter fishing captain ever, 7 years ago when my wife and I both fell in love with fishing. Our first time, we were the only boat (out of & charters that were out trolling that particular day) that caught ANY fish, and we caught 19 of them: Mahi, jack, bonito, barracuda, and others. That was August 2018. Today, we did a short 4-hour trip and caught 1 barracuda and 5-6 Kingfish, two of which were exceptionally large. Captain Rogelio and his two hands worked tirelessly during every second of the charter, constantly rigging fresh ballyhoo, catching live bait, pulling grass off lines, searching for baitfish and birds, etc. They never let their guards down for one second; determined to make our trip as successful as possible, and they even kept us fishing for an extra hour at no additional charge, hoping to help us land more fish.  Rogelio spoiled us on that first trip 7 years ago, and we have been on over 30 chartered fishing trips all across the globe since then, and we have yet to find another captain that hustles as hard as he does to land fish in the boat.  He is the gold standard against which we measure every fishing captain, and thus far nobody can top him in terms of service, professionalism, politeness, etc. We will be coming back to Isla to fish with Rogelio again and again, and we will be bringing teenagers with us on our next adventure.

Took our family out for a day of offshore fishing with Rogelio and his crew were great!  Unfortunately for us, it was a slow day of fishing for us (all other captains were reporting the same thing to Rogelio) but Rogelio was determined to turn our luck around and we kept on fishing.  Our son ended up catching a few fish and was thrilled with catch.  We took our catch to Konita’s Cantina to be prepared and they did an amazing job!  Definitely recommend Chili’s if you are in Isla Mujeres and looking for a day of fishing.

We had a private tour so the captain picked us up from our resort dock which was super convenient and not expected at all. The crew greeted us and asked us what we wanted to catch for the day. They got us the exact fish we asked for, Mahi-mahi and barracudas. They were knowledgeable and enthusiastic when we git another fish reeled in. They even cleaned one of the fish for us to have for dinner back at our resort. There was zero pressure to “mount” any fish like there was with Aqua World last year. Highly recommend!

Had a great day of fishing with my son a two grandkids.  We had to rebook due to wind and Cpt. Rogelio got us out 2 days later, still windy but landed a nice sailfish and the kiddies each caught 2 barracudas each.  A real great day Cpt and crew were awesome and made the fishing trip a lot of fun.  Kids certainly won’t forget it.
