Excellent All Around - Book this trip and crew!

Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM2 adults1 child

Took my 7yo on the reef trip this week. Alfonso and Hipolito his first mate gave us an A+ experience! Booking process, logistics and communications = simple, easy to get a hold of and no issues at all in planning. boat was easy to get to and parking was easy. Boat was super clean and gear was in great shape. Alfonso has fresh fruit and drinks for us. Alfonso knows these waters in detail. We trolled king, mackerel, and wahoo, and wow, they definitely had the right bait and skill, unfortunately nothing was biting. Affonso decided to make sure that we got a good catch, so we pivoted to bottom fishing for trigger fish and red snapper, and 30 minutes to be caught a great haul!! when we gor back at the shore, the crew has a relationship with the restaurant at the dock and they were able to clean and cook the fish for us right there (and fast). Delicious feast and Aflono join us to eat it and talk fishing with us. 100% would book again, and plan to do so!

    another trip in the books!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    This is probably my 10th trip fishing with Alfonso, and that alone should tell you everything. This time, we booked three separate 8-hour trips over three days, and this review is for Day 1. I keep coming back because of how much fun my friends and I have every time we’re out here. The energy is always great, the conversations are always good, and Alfonso and his first mate are some of the most down-to-earth people you’ll meet. They’re always going out of their way to make sure everyone is comfortable, having a good time, and getting the most out of the trip. And of course, the fishing is always a huge part of it. On Day 1, we came in with Spanish mackerel, barracuda, and snapper, and we’re already looking forward to the next two days. After coming back this many times, I can honestly say Alfonso and his crew never disappoint. If you’re looking for a captain and crew who know how to fish, keep the energy right, and make sure you have a great time, I highly recommend Alfonso.

    Awesome father/son fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    What an incredible experience with Capt. Arcos and Martin! My son Blake and I went out fishing with them in Playa del Carmen and couldn’t have asked for a better day. We caught 7 fish, which was awesome, but what really made the trip special was how far Capt. Arcos and Martin went to make sure we had an amazing experience. They were fantastic with Blake, incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making the day memorable for both of us. You could tell they weren’t just trying to take us fishing—they wanted us to have a day we’d remember. The fishing was great, the crew was even better, and this ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico. If you’re looking to fish out of Playa del Carmen, I highly recommend Capt. Arcos and Martin. We’ll absolutely fish with them again the next time we’re here! Thank you both for an awesome day and for taking such great care of Blake and me!

    Highlight of our Vacation

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an incredible day with Alfonso Tours! Alfonso and Martin were fantastic hosts from start to finish. They went above and beyond to make sure our family had a great experience, even tailoring the trip to our 9-year-old son. When we started feeling a little seasick, they stopped at a beautiful beach so we could take a break and recover. The fishing was excellent, we caught 6 fish in total. We took the fish back to our resort where they cooked it for us. They had plenty of snacks and drinks throughout the trip. Their knowledge, friendliness, and flexibility made the day both relaxing and fun. It was a day full of unforgettable memories that our family will cherish for years to come. We highly recommend Alfonso Tours to anyone looking for an amazing day on the water!

    If you are looking for an unforgettable fishing charter, look no further than Alphonso Tours. I recently went out with them and had, without a doubt, the time of my life. The crew knows exactly how to find the fish and put you right in the action. We managed to land two massive Mahi Mahi—including a monster 45-inch Bull Mahi—and topped it all off by bringing in a 70-inch Sailfish! Reeling those in was an absolute rush. The entire experience from start to finish was top-notch, professional, and incredibly exciting. I can't recommend Alphonso Tours enough. If you want a world-class day out on the water, book them immediately. I'll definitely be back!

    Amongst the Best!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Alfonso and First Mate Martin are among the best charter duos you can spend your day with. Fishing was hard (well, the fish didn't want to cooperate all that much) but we did manage to land a nice dorado and a nice sailfish. Alfonso and Martin worked relentlessly to try to put us on as many fish as possible, travelling many, many times in search of sargassum patches. There were not many to be had after the high winds the previous few days. While fishing was slow the day on the water was great. We very much enjoyed ourselves and the company of the Captain and First Mate. I would not hesitate to book with them again the future and know that they will do everything in their power to put fish on the line.
