Went fishing with Nuj Kay on December 7, 2023
When they hint that it may be rough , they know the area. We had fished rough water before. others will not enjoy it.

I recommend the Nuj Kay. The captain and first mate were very friendly and worked hard to put us on fish.

this is a great trip for those who enjoy being more active in their fishing with casting and using plastic / live bait to target selective fish.

Normal fishing experience. Bring a snack. Plenty of drinks on board. Water. Soda and beers. Variety of fish will be caught. Excellent experience!

Bring the motion sickness medicine if you even remotely get sea sick. Been deep sea fishing a lot and never gotten sick but the waves are big and will definitely take you for a ride.

Beware of going deep sea fishing if you are prone to sea sickness. These waves will make people who never get sick, sick.

I did a 4 hour trip. I highly suggest doing longer. Fishing was slow but what we did manage to hook up was worth the wait

This charter was at the start of the Wahoo (Ono) season and as most know timing is crucial. Make sure to have sunscreen, fishing shirt and snacks.

This is the first my husband and I fished in Cancun, it was exceptional! Captain Mauricio taught me how to fish patiently. I caught two fishes on my own, we highly recommend anyone to try.

Its worth the experience but try to come when the fish you want are in season and its not 40 degs outside.

Went fishing with Charter Fishing Cancun – Xaviera on July 20, 2023
I would not solely due to the fact that we paid $1000+ for 7 hours (short of the 8 hours we booked) + only 1 fish that was greater than 14in but less than 28in.

Bring your own snacks. It is hot and no AC on this boat to escape it. The fishing was OK, but nothing spectacular.

The captain and crew were amazing. The deck hands busted their butts getting weeds off the lines and changing bait. Highly recommend this fishing service!

Don’t tans this trip it’s not as described in anyway. Fake trip, no fish, different boat that put off horrible diesel fumes the entire time.

Book a full day trip if you’re going after the big fish. The smaller fish (mahi-mahi, tuna, etc..) were biting like crazy in may!

Fantastic boat, really good spots, nice lagoon, good service. Spots are also not wildly far to each other, which it is an advantage, more fishing time!

Just have fun, the fish are almost suicidal. Stay off the sauce too, just drink water otherwise you'll be sick. Apart from that, you'll love it!

Not the crews fault at all. We went on an afternoon trip so hard to really say. We didn’t catch the big game fish we wanted but we caught some good tuna.

Arrive early, take cash. You’ll likely catch nice fish but it’s the crew that does the actual fishing - if they didn’t you’d likely catch less fish.

If you are heading out with someone who is prone to sea sickness, make sure they take some Gravol or something similar to reduce sea sickness.

Wouldn’t suggest if you are known to get motion sickness. I was fine but it’s a hour ride back so it’s not the best if you don’t feel well

I was told point blank best time of year is March, followed by January, so if your looking for big fish, that’s your best route!

As stated previously, the weather on the day I went out was rough and we didn't catch anything but the Captain and crew were great. I would highly recommend Fish's and Captain Hector.
