Great experience with Captain Mario and his first mate Manuel. Mario has an impressive educational background and has been fishing the area his entire life, this expertise in clear. Within an hour, we hooked into a huge King, biggest fish Iโve ever caught.
Unfortunately, my wife became ill during the trip and we had to cut it short. Iโm confident that with more time on the water, we wouldโve caught even more. Mario was accommodating and made sure that we were treated with care. My wife felt taken care of by the team. Greatly appreciated. I will be back for more next time Iโm in Cozumel. Book with confidence!!

Mario and his first mate, Frank, took us out for a deep sea mission mainly targeting mahi mahi and the possible Marlin. We ran down to the south end of the island as he said thatโs the best chance to catch fish. My wife and I are avid fisherman and have been in rough water before, however on a day like today someone who isnโt out on the water as much could certainly get sick. It was some of the biggest rollers Iโve seen, but Mario knew what he was doing and we felt comfortable in the boat. We saw a gigantic sea turtle and lots of flying fish. After a little over an hour we caught a nice Mahi Mahi. Little while later my wife caught a small black tip shark(Mario said isnโt very common), which she was very excited about as she loves sharks! Those were the only things we caught, however we had a good time. Mario is very knowledgeable and easy to talk with, not just about fishing, but about the island and things to do/places to eat. We ended the day cruising the shore while our Mahi Mahi was cleaned. Once we got back to the marina, Mario took us in his truck with a big filet of our fish to a local restaurant to eat.
Overall it was a good experience and we would do it again. Thanks Mario and Frank!

As an avid fisherman enjoying a week of vacation in cozumel I knew I needed to get a trip booked. We chose the AM reef fishing trip so we could get more bites. We had action literally the entire time! We caught snapper, red snapper, strawberry grouper, triggerfish, parrot fish and a few other species. Probably caught 40 or so fish in a few hours. We did lose a couple big bites but thatโs fishing.
Mario speaks fluent English and is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable on the water. His boat is very nice and very practical for a day of fishing. I have friends on the island that will be booking with him soon and I hope to book with him soon as well.
If you are contemplating booking, just do it! You will not regret it.

Iโve bass fished all my life in lakes all over Oklahoma. Iโve always wanted to try my hand at Dorado, wahoo or some bill fish. Finally had the opportunity with Captain Mario and his mate Leo and they put us on the fish! Back to back doubles on Mahi Mahi had my arm wore out! Great trip and highly recommend booking your next trip with Captain Mario! You wonโt be disappointed!
I decided to take my parents while we were visiting the island for a week. We did the half day deep-sea fishing. Mario and Leo were amazing. Spoke great English for those who donโt understand too much Spanish and were very informative. We caught a total of 3 mahi-mahi, and weโll definitely rebook when we revisit the island.
