From what we heard, mahi season is almost over. We were lucky enough to have an amazing captain and get on more mahi than we could handle. For what could have been a bust on mahi, our captain and mate killed it!!! So my opinion is skewed, but I'd rate it a five if they told me our trip was daily.

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.

For us it was good, however the captain told us that April - July is the best time for fishing in Playa del Carmen.

August is hot, the big fish are far out, but there are plenty of smaller fish that are fun to catch near the shelf and in the shallower waters. Bring a hat!

Martin and Spicy(deckhand) took great care of us and got us on fish within minutes of getting to the fishing grounds. We had doubles a few times. When we were done fishing Spicy made us ceviche. It was some of the best I had ever eaten. If I come back to Cancun, I will most definitely be reaching out to Martin again.

Good fishing, good crew but very hot. No AC on boat and if not acclimated to heat could be a long trip.

Wear sun protection, long sleeves and prepare for hot. Other than that, be fit enough to bring in those whoppers.

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!

Great place to fish. Be careful trying to do it yourself. There is a ton of coast line where fishing is a no no. Hire a guide, and slay ‘em!

Be flexible. It's fishing and not catching. If you are flexible and give a try for different species, you should eventually hook into something. Be patient. It's nature.

Yes, I would recommend highly that you give them a try. We learned of this crew from a fellow traveler, and are well pleased with our first deep sea fishing trip!
