A morning trip might have more success as it was slow in the afternoon. The owner told us it was a weird day even off shore so maybe it wouldn’t matter. We still caught fish so it was a successful trip.

Do your research, manage expectations, the captains and crew do their best to make customers happy, but nature does what it wants. That’s why they call it fishing, not catching

The captain told me that prime fishing here is between December to may. It was still great in August

Make sure your booking isn’t only in shore if you’re looking to go out further! I didn’t know what I was booking but our captain made sure to give us a great experience regardless.

Rogelio was great keeping in touch about the weather throughout the week. It was windy but still okay going on the water for the morning. Just know it will be a rocky day!

I recommend reaching out to the captain before booking a trip to confirm where to meet the boat, and to make sure that the charter accepts your preferred form of payment.

Definitely book with the Keen M team!
We came in September and chose to fish during the off season which was a risk.
We did not have a lot of consistent bites but had some great catches

Go during the season of the fish you want to catch is important. Sometimes water maybe to hot to catch in the hot months.

Get your sea legs ready, rough water!
If you aren’t staying at Isla Mujeres make sure you understand the ferry situation and where to go after arrival to Isla Mujeres.
Sunscreen and Dramamine!

December and January are a lot better fishing but the island is always amazing and you can always be surprised at the fishing.

If you are looking to catch bill fish come at the right time of year. Just wanting to catch reef fish great anytime.

Make sure you dress for the sun! Period no exceptions. Plan for the wind and sea. If expected high seas, then do not eat breakfast not drink any beer early in trip.

We went bottom fishing and it was a great first experience but we saw plenty of sailfish. Would like to give that a go next time.

Isla Mujeres sailfishing is some of the best in the world, but just be careful who you book your trip with to make sure your odds for success are maximized.

Check wind conditions and make judgement for amount of roughness you want to handle.

Sheena Taylor
Slow season but got i what wanted. Rough waters but to be expected with weather like it was.

Tony Musser
If the water is choppy take Dramamine!!!
Do the 6 hour if your after a big one.

Kevin Kajer
Great time. Great captain and crew. Knowalgable, personable could not have been better.

Kyle Grimes
Took us a bit to find some fish. Once we did we had multiple bites in a short timeframe

Jacoba Kemper
Yes, they are a hard working crew and will do their very best to get you on the fish.

John Segrest

Yes definitely. Calm seas, quick trip to the first fishing spot. Plenty of fish to catch.

Be sure you get your fish at the end of the day. Because we never received one piece of fish from a boat load of fish!!!!
