Try and coincide your trip with the peak season of your preferred fish target. My trip was at the end of the mahi mahi season which made the trip a bit more challenging

The sargassum is bad in the summer but not much you can do about that. It's fine once you get off the shoreline tho

Just be aware of the sargassum. It’s really bad getting on the boat. But once you’re on the boat they wash your feet and legs off with water. No big deal for my wife and I. The experience was top notch and we caught so many fish

The Boat Sport Fishing and Snorkel
When we went was a bit of a transition between seasons but our captains were in contact with other boats and chased where the action was. Really responsive and invested in us having a good day.

The fishing is good but the seaweed is a pain. But that seems hard to avoid.

In June, expect onshore winds and choppy seas about 3 foot and sargasso weed which attracts mahi mahi and billfish. Arranging a crew that will work hard to clear the lines of seaweed is critical, including thelpibg out yourself to ensure clean baits in the trolling spread. That will greatly enhance your catch rate. Working hard produced a two sailfish at the same time for us and double Mahi, mahi

Waters were beautiful, but choppy. 4/5 in our party got sea sick, so I would recommend treating for this ahead of time if anyone is prone to this.

You will have to deal with seaweed in the summer months. The crew technically has to deal with it.

Playa is great, but would love to see a pier put in for the amount of charters going out each day.

First mate had to keep checking the bait because of the grass that was floating. Had a nice day a little choppy but we stayed out for four hours.

I wouldn't suggest ever taking small children on a private fishing charter and thats why I opted for not good for children. Teens who are familiar with fishing and respect the sport yes that would be fine.
I would recommend Alfonso regardless of the time of year. Knowledge has no time limits

I think this is a solid spot with active fish. Be prepared for choppy waters but good fishing.

Wait until late April or even May if fishing for Mahi or marlin is your priority. This was a great family trip with snorkeling and thrill of fishing for big fish for our kids. It’s all about luck this time of year.

Of course kids could be on the boat they might get bored, I wouldn't bring little ones on board, but that may just be me. Just remember that there are no guarantees ? I think we were one of the only boats that caught something today, there is some luck involved. Sometimes the fish just aren't there.
