Our group was in Puerto Morelos for the week and being from the Midwest knew we needed to try our hand at deep sea fishing before we left. After researching on FishingBooker we felt confident in booking an 8 hour tour with Captain Alfonso and our expectations were beyond exceeded!
Captain Alfonso and First Mate Mariano greeted us promptly on the beach which was easy to locate. We brought waters but the cooler was stocked with beverages and fruits as well. Once we set off, the crew got us on trolling and right away we caught a handful of bonito. We then stopped to cast and hooked into a barracuda which happened to be on our bucket list. Mariano and Alfonso got us on the fish right away and were so helpful in assisting with technique and swapping lures on a dime.
After trolling for a bit we tried our hand at bigger ticket targets - sharks and marlins werenโt hungry that day I guess but not for lack of trying! Alfonso and Mariano then took us to a beautiful reef where we snorkeled, cast a bit more, all while the crew prepared us a marvelous ceviche lunch with the bonitos caught just hours prior. Once we wrapped up on the reef Alfonso cruised us back to the port and pointed out memorable sites on the Playa del Carmen coast. Upon return, Alfonso cleaned our barracuda and sent us back with filets to have prepared at the hotel.
All in all the day was unforgettable and one of our best days on the water. Alfonso and Mariano were flexible, attentive, and at no point did we feel rushed or that there was anything we were left wanting to do. It truly was a personalized and all-encompassing experience, and I cannot recommend enough Alfonsoโs Tours - weโll seriously consider making a dedicated trip back to book again (this time in Spring for Mahi Mahi!)
I also strongly recommend booking the full 8 hour day so that you can experience the full range of skill and hospitality that the crew has to offer. Thank you Alfonso and Mariano!
