Mahi-Mahi, Barracuda and Sailfish Action
Mahi-Mahi, Barracuda and Sailfish Action
September 9, 2026
SEPTEMBER FISHING REPORT – RIVIERA MAYA September continues to surprise us with some incredible fishing here in Playa del Carmen! Mahi-mahi (dorado) and barracuda have been very active, and today we were even rewarded with an amazing sailfish catch! Sailfish are normally more common during our peak spring season, around April and May, so seeing these beautiful fish still showing up in September makes every trip even more exciting. Of course, fishing is fishing and no species can ever be guaranteed, but our crew will always work hard to find the best action available each day. The Caribbean Sea has also been beautifully calm, giving us excellent conditions for fishing, cruising and snorkeling. Come enjoy a 100% private charter with your family, friends or loved ones. Fish the beautiful Caribbean waters, cool off with a snorkeling adventure, and create memories that will stay with you long after your vacation is over. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, enjoying a family vacation, fishing with friends, or simply looking for an unforgettable day in paradise — Alondra III Sport Fishing Riviera Maya is ready to welcome you aboard. Mahi-Mahi • Barracuda • Sailfish & More Fishing & Snorkeling Adventures Private Charters Families & Friends Welcome Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya September dates are available — book your private fishing adventure with Alondra III through FishingBooker and let’s make your Caribbean vacation unforgettable!

personally, on a slower part of the fishing season, fishing topwater only could’ve been the variable that was missing. but as we all know with fishing, anything couldve been the reason for catching no fish! outside of that, we had a great time

The boat is not on a dock so you need to wade out a little to get onto the boat. It’s only knee deep so you won’t get you junk wet but it’s rocky and hard on the feet so wear some swimming shoes or flip flops so you can walk on the rocks.

If you get sea sick easily, definitely make sure to take motion sickness medication. Even if you don’t think you need it, it’s always a good thing
