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!

    El mejor viaje de pesca y atención, simplemente extraordinario

    fishing 3/4 Day Trip5 adults3 children

    Quiero recomendar ampliamente a Isaias y su equipo. He salido de pesca muchas veces y con diferentes embarcaciones y capitanes, y nunca habían superado mis expectativas así. Fui con mis tres hijos y vivieron una experiencia única. La atención de Isaias y equipo fue extraordinaria en todos los aspectos, nunca había vivido tal experiencia. Trataron a mis hijos con paciencia, cariño y los complacieron realmente. Yo saque un pez vela, pargos, langostas, pulpos, etc, fue extraordinario de verdad. No podría parar de recomendar a Isaias y equipo. El ceviche que nos hicieron realmente wow.

    Response from Charter operator

    Gerardo, muchísimas gracias por compartir una reseña tan especial y por confiar en nosotros para vivir esta experiencia junto a tus hijos. Comentarios como el tuyo representan exactamente lo que nos apasiona de nuestro trabajo. Para nosotros, un día en el mar va mucho más allá de simplemente salir a pescar. Se trata de compartir, disfrutar y crear recuerdos que una familia pueda llevarse para siempre de sus vacaciones en Playa del Carmen. Fue un verdadero placer acompañarlos durante toda la aventura: la emoción de capturar ese hermoso pez vela, buscar los pargos, disfrutar del snorkel y compartir momentos tan especiales con tus hijos. Y, por supuesto, completar el día con la búsqueda de pulpo y langosta y prepararles un ceviche fresco con todo el cariño que ponemos en cada experiencia. Personalmente, disfruté muchísimo poder compartir ese día con ustedes. Ver a tus hijos emocionados, disfrutando del mar y de cada actividad, hizo que también fuera un día muy especial para nosotros. Gracias por reconocer la paciencia, dedicación y atención de todo nuestro equipo. Eso es precisamente lo que buscamos ofrecer a cada familia que sube a nuestra embarcación: que lleguen como nuestros invitados y se vayan llevándose un recuerdo inolvidable. Gerardo, tú y tu familia serán siempre bienvenidos. Esperamos volver a verlos algún día para compartir otra gran aventura en el Caribe. Con mucho cariño y agradecimiento, Capitán Isaías y todo el equipo de Alondra III

    Response from Charter operator

    Dear Peter, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such an incredible 5-star review. Your words truly mean a lot to our entire crew, and it was a real pleasure having you with us here in Playa del Carmen. Hearing you say this was the “best fishing trip of your life” is one of the greatest compliments we could receive, especially knowing that you fish regularly back home. We always do our best to create much more than just a fishing trip — we want every guest to enjoy a complete, memorable experience on the Caribbean Sea. We are very happy that the fishing action delivered a great day for you with three barracudas and a beautiful mahi-mahi. Every day on the water is different, so being able to put you on several quality fish and create those moments together was very special for us as well. Thank you also for mentioning our ceviche. Our crew really enjoys preparing fresh ceviche for our guests, and knowing that you consider it some of the best in Mexico makes us extremely proud. We also appreciate your kind words about the crew being friendly, welcoming, and fun. Creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere is just as important to us as finding the fish. Your comments about the snorkeling mean a great deal to us too. Since you are an experienced scuba diver, it is especially rewarding to hear that snorkeling became one of the highlights of your entire scuba diving trip. The clear Caribbean water, marine life, reef, and the chance to enjoy a completely different side of Playa del Carmen make that part of the experience very special. We are also very grateful for your recommendation to other travelers who may be trying to choose the right fishing charter or crew in Playa del Carmen. Your trust and your words are incredibly valuable to a small local sport fishing business like ours. Most of all, thank you for saying that you would book with us again. We would be honored to welcome you back for another private fishing and snorkeling adventure. Hopefully next time we can create even more unforgettable memories, enjoy another great day of fishing, and of course prepare more fresh ceviche together. Thank you again, Peter, for choosing us and for sharing your experience. From all of us at Alondra III Sport Fishing, we truly appreciate your support and look forward to fishing with you again in Playa del Carmen. Tight lines and see you again soon!

    First Time or Experienced? Incredible either way!

    ⭐ 5-Hr Sport Fishing & Snorkel6 adults2 children

    We were a mixed group of first timers and experienced sea fishing excursionists and either way, i was an absolute incredible experience! Our experienced party membr who had done multiple excursions prior to this in multiple countries said this was his best one ever! Alex and Jose are completely about the experience and they hustled to make sure ours was unforgettable. They had to nvigqte the seaweed all day and they did it with great effort and love for the experience. We caught a trophy sized Blue Fin within the first hour a smaller sized Mahi mahi a barracuda, and a couple other smaller fish for our little ones......plus we got to snorkel up close and personal with a Turtle.... close enough to touch it! They have great reviews are for a reason....get the 5-hour if you are with littles and consider going longer if you're with just adults! Our fish was cleaned immediately afterwards and then we got to eat it ceviche style as well as drill right in the marina..... an absolute unforgettable experience for all of us! Thank you Alex and Jose....you set the bar high for what to experience in the future and we hope to return and join you on another one!

    Dear Shaun, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an incredible and heartfelt review. Reading every word truly means the world to us. Knowing that your group included both first-time anglers and experienced fishermen, and that everyone had such an amazing time, is the greatest compliment we could receive. Hearing that someone in your group, with fishing experience in multiple countries, considered this their best fishing trip ever is an honor we will never forget. We also deeply appreciate your kind words about Alex and Jose. They truly give their heart and soul to every trip, and your recognition of the effort they made to navigate through the seaweed while keeping the experience fun and unforgettable means so much to our entire team. It was a fantastic day on the water! Catching a trophy-sized Bluefin, a mahi-mahi, a barracuda, and several fish for the little ones made the trip exciting from beginning to end. Seeing the children smiling and enjoying the action is always one of our greatest rewards. Finishing the day snorkeling alongside a sea turtle was the perfect ending to an already unforgettable adventure. Thank you as well for recommending our 5-hour trip to other families. We designed that experience so guests can enjoy the perfect combination of fishing, snorkeling, and quality time together, and we're so happy it exceeded your expectations. We're delighted you enjoyed having your fresh catch prepared as ceviche and grilled at the marina restaurant. Sharing the day's catch with family and friends is one of the most special traditions we love offering our guests. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your trust, your kind words, and for choosing to spend your day with us. It was a true pleasure having your family aboard, and we sincerely look forward to welcoming you back to Alondra III Sport Fishing RM for another unforgettable adventure in the beautiful waters of Playa del Carmen. Warm regards, The Alondra III Sport Fishing RM Team 🎣🌊
