The Best of the Best!

fishing. Full Day Trip2 adults

Another awesome day out fishing with Alondra III Sport Fishing. Captain Isaias and First Mate Daniel are masters of their craft. Extremely professional, excellent communication. They go above and beyond to put you on fish.. Fishing is fishing, but if you don't catch fish with them then chances are no one has caught anything. They find fish when no one else does because they will travel long distances, where others will not, and because they will fish in the floating weeds where it is a constant challenge for the first mate to keep the lines clear. But that is what sets them apart and why they are very successful. We went out yesterday (5/07) and it started slow but we ended the day with 5 Mahi-Mahi, 1 'cuda, and about 5 other lost fish. All in all, an excellent trip! Also, the ceviche is down right unreal. I would book with Capt. Isaias and the Alondra III just for that alone. Do not pass up your chance to fish with a guide who will undoubtedly become a fishing legend in these waters!

Dear Jessie, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an incredible review and for trusting Alondra III Sport Fishing once again. Reading your words truly means a lot to our entire team. Captain Isaias and First Mate Daniel are very passionate about what they do, and comments like yours motivate us to continue giving 100% every single day on the water. As you perfectly said, fishing can always be challenging, especially with the floating weeds and changing conditions, but we always work hard to find the fish and give our guests the best experience possible. We are very happy that you enjoyed another successful day with us, the Mahi-Mahi action, and of course our fresh ceviche prepared on board! Moments like these are exactly why we love what we do. Thank you as well for recognizing our communication, professionalism, and dedication. Your support truly helps us continue growing and doing what we love here in Playa del Carmen. It was an honor fishing with you again, my friend. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon for another unforgettable adventure with Alondra III Sport Fishing Riviera Maya! Best regards, Captain Isaias & Team Alondra III Sport Fishing Riviera Maya 🎣

    Literally the best ever!!!

    4H Sunset Fishing & Snorkel Tour • 2 adults

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Day of Our Holiday – Alondra 3! What an absolutely brilliant experience! Spectacular snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, fantastic fishing and the most incredible crew! The guys were knowledgeable, professional, great fun and genuinely made the day unforgettable. We caught a huge 17kg kingfish! (aswell a few others)and had the opportunity to have it cooked and enjoy it when we docked! We declined as we had dinner plans, but sitting back watching the guys expertly fillet and prepare our catch in such a cool setting was a total vibe! The fishing was amazing, but the crew really made the experience. Hands down the best day of our holiday! Cannot recommend Alondra 3 highly enough! 🎣🌊☀️

    oooooh, Barracuda

    fishing Half Day Trip (PM) (copy) • 2 adults

    We booked the 4 hour afternoon trip. Daniel & Jonny were amazing througuout the trip, ensuring we were welcomed, provided with drinks and set out what fishing we were to do for the day. We trolled as it had been successful that morning. It looked like it was to be a blank after missing 3 bites with one being a large spanish mackerel. Jonny replaced the bait consistently and eventually we got rewarded by hitting into a nice 37inch barracuda. I was even offered the option of having my catch taxidermied. We finished the afternoon with a quick snorkel 🤿 🎣

Daniel and Jonny will be delighted to know you appreciated their warm welcome, the drinks, and the fishing plan they prepared for the day. Fishing can always bring a few surprises, and after missing several bites—including the Spanish mackerel—we’re glad Jonny’s persistence with the bait paid off and you landed that impressive 37-inch barracuda! We’re also pleased you enjoyed the quick snorkel to finish the trip and had the opportunity to preserve your catch as a special memory. Our crew always does its best to make every part of the experience enjoyable, comfortable, and memorable.

    fishing 3/4 Day Trip (copy) • 3 adults

    My arms still hurt .. my teenage kids and I spent 6 hours with Captain Daniel and his crew, and they sure know where the amberjacks are lurking. After a brief stop to catch some baitfish, the action started almost immediately once we had reached the steep dropoff just 15 min from Playa del Carmen. Several mid-sized fish were followed by a real lunker, and bringing it up from 300ft gave me sore muscles. Tried some trolling for wahoo and skipjack later, but were not succesful. Did not matter, the kids and I had a great time all round and more than enough fish - and having our catch freshly prepared for us right on the beach was a truly delicious highlight. Skipper and crew were great, Johnny in particular kept everyone entertained. We will be back for billfish season one day!

We are truly delighted to hear that you had such an exciting and memorable experience with Captain Daniel and our crew. Fighting those powerful amberjacks from 300 feet is definitely a great workout, and we're happy your efforts were rewarded with some impressive catches! Although the wahoo and skipjack tuna didn't cooperate that day, we're glad you enjoyed the overall experience and the delicious meal prepared from your fresh catch at the beachfront restaurant. We especially appreciate your kind words about Captain Daniel and Johnny. I will personally share your compliments with them. As captain and owner, my priority is always to ensure our boats are well maintained, our crew provides excellent service, and every guest enjoys a safe and unforgettable adventure.

    Amazing afternoon fishing

    fishing Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    We had such a great day out fishing! We caught a barracuda and a bonito, and even got to finish the trip with some snorkeling. Daniel and Johnny were amazing – such a great crew and made sure we had the best time! They even filleted the fish for us on the boat, and afterwards we had it freshly cooked at a restaurant right by the water. Overall, a fantastic experience and something we would definitely recommend to anyone! 🎣🐟

    3 fish at once!

    4H Morning Fishing & Snorkel • 3 adults • 1 child

    Daniel and Andy were fantastic captains and mates. They ensured we caught a lot of fish and had a great time. They took the time to explain the fishing areas and what we could expect to catch. We tried both trolling and bottom fishing, and both methods were successful. The highlight of the day was during our trolling back to port. My son caught three Bonitas at once! I would absolutely recommend this boat. It was in great condition and comfortable.
