Great 3/4 day trip!

6 Hrs Fishing1 adult

Had a great day with Captain Julio and Polo! I visit Puerto Morleos frequently and this is the best charter I’ve had so far (and I’ve done many, both in Mexico and in the US). The crew was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and they were constantly working to maximize our chances of success - regularly checking and changing baits and rigs, keeping the boat clean, offering beverages and drinks, etc. Did a 6 hour trip and we were fortunate enough to land 4 mahi mahi, which was our target species. They cleaned it very nicely. Would very highly recommend black moon and will certainly be using them again when I’m in Puerto Morelos!

    Trip of a lifetime!

    Half Day ,4 Hrs Fishing • 4 adults

    Captain Luis and Nacho were amazing, and led me (42m) and my 2 sons (13/17) on the trip of a lifetime! Luis let us know the day before our trip that the port was closed on our planned fishing day due to bad weather, but we easily rescheduled for 2 days later and crossed our fingers. Captain Luis was in constant contact and gave us the green light the night before we were ready to go! It was a 4 hour trip, they said the seas would be rough but the fish should be biting. It took about 30 minutes to get out to where they got the lines in the water, and we were fishing! After 30-45 minutes of trolling we got our first bite, my youngest son reeled in a nice sized Mahi Mahi and we were ecstatic. We took some photos, got the lines back in the water and off we went. Another 20 minutes or so and we got our 2nd fish, and as soon as we saw it jump in the distance everyone let out a cheer as we knew we had a trophy on our hands. My oldest and I took turns at the reel, and under the guidance and navigation of Captain Luis and Nacho, about 45-60 minutes later we landed a 91 inch Marlin!! They were as excited as we were about the catch. Unfortunately at that point I was seasick, and we headed back in an hour early, expectations well and truly exceeded. They had the trophy mounting reps waiting on the docks and as we measured and took photos, the little Black Moon was the envy of every boat, large and small, in the port. 10/10 would recommend.

    That's true, the whole comment is exactly how the story went. We're really happy to have taken them fishing; it was an amazing trip. The sea was rough; it didn't want us to go fishing. The sea really wasn't calm, but the photos speak for themselves. Thank you, and what a lovely family! Greetings wherever you are. Until next time.

    Great day of fishing

    Fishing,Snorkeling,Ceviche and Beer • 2 adults

    Captain Julio and mate Nacho. met us at the docks and were ready to give us the best experience. We went out deep sea fishing on rough seas. The captain made the trip as smooth as possible and had us on fish first thing. Communication between ourselves and the crew was excellent. The captain is fluent in english. The boat was in great shape and gear was top notch. Many drinks and many laughs. We have deep sea fished many times on our visits to Mexico. This by far was one of the best days fishing we have ever had. We would recommend Black Moon Charters and Captain Julio to anyone that visits Peurto Morelos area and is looking for a day of fishing.

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you for your comments, they nourish our souls. It was an extraordinary day with a beautiful sailfish as our reward. The weather wasn't quite what we had hoped for, but it allowed us to fight this magnificent specimen. We love creating unforgettable memories. Thanks, Todd, see you next time!

    The Reviews are true! A+

    Half Day ,4 Hrs Fishing • 2 adults

    Captains Julio and Nacho were amazing. We caught a Mahi Mahi and numerous groundfish including Yellow Tail Snapper. We booked this boat because the reviews were so positive. Here is one more positive review. The Black Moon was easy to find at the dock. We kept to the schedule. pre departure communication was excellent. Everything was taken care of. we enjoyed mahi mahi ceviche and tacos that night. we are english speakers with a little Spanish. On boat communication was awesome (safe, entertaining and informative)

    Great day fishing!

    Half Day ,4 Hrs Fishing • 2 adults

    Great day fishing. Started the morning trolling and then switch to drop fishing. Captain Julio and first mate Nacho did a amazing job adapting our approach and we were on fish early and often. It was our first time fishing in Puerto Morelos and we are beyond happy we chose the Black Moon. Anyone looming to book a charter can rest easy choosing them. We will be back again!

    Excellent family experience

    Half Day ,4 Hrs Fishing • 2 adults • 1 child

    Me and my 8 year old did a four hour tour and had a great time. We went to a few spots, tried a few techniques, and had success with all of them. I will be fishing with them when I come back.

    Reported Catch
    Great Barracuda
    Response from Charter operator

    It was an excellent day; the weather was truly fantastic, allowing us to enjoy a family fishing trip. We fulfilled our wish to catch barracuda and a few other species, such as grouper, triggerfish, and yellowtail snapper. Best regards to you, Lance, and to your son, wherever you may be. Until next time—you are always welcome back.
