We had a great time. Didn’t catch many fish. Thought we would be going farther out but we barely left marina to troll.

Brad. Thanks for the feedback. Fortunately for us here in Puerto Aventuras, we have a deep trench that runs right outside the entrance to the marina. This is why we can start trolling immediately and do not have to go farther out to sea. Under better circumstances when the fish are around and biting we catch billfish, wahoo and Mahi mahi very close in to shore along this trench. So not at all necessary to go farther out to sea. Hope we see you again in the future. Regards.

    Amazing trip!

    4 hours - Half Day Trip • 9 adults

    We had a family trip of 10 people. My mom, brother, 2 nephews, and my 4 kids were all first timers for offshore fishing. The crew was ready and organized when we got there 15 minutes early. We got on the boat and took off immediately. Started fishing as soon as we were in to open water and hooked up to the first fish(barracuda) before our official start time of 7:00 am. We caught in total 10 mahi mahi, and the one barracuda. Everyone who wanted to catch a fish, caught at least one. Crew cut up one of our mahi’s and made fresh ceviche along with some guacamole. Only bad thing about the trip was I think it may have ruined all those first timers to expect to catch that many fish every time they go out now! Standards are set high! Really appreciate the memories that were made! We’ll definitely book with them next time we go back.

    Reported Catch

    Response from Charter operator

    Wow, Brad — 10 Mahi Mahi and a barracuda on a first offshore trip for most of the group is an incredible day! Sounds like our crew got everyone dialed in fast, and fresh ceviche and guac to finish it off is the perfect way to celebrate a catch like that. Fair warning to the rest of the family and anyone else: yes, not every trip is like this (but we'll do our best!). Thanks for trusting us with the whole crew, and we can't wait to get you all back out on the water with Pescado Adventures. Look forward to hearing from you in the future. Take care.

    Fabulous afternoon with the kids fishing

    4 hours - Half Day Trip - 2:00 PM • 4 adults

    We had a fabulous trip with our two kids aged 16 and 12. We choose to fish for smaller fish rather than trawl for the large ones as this was more enjoyable for the kids. Lots of fish were caught including yellow tail snapper and a trigger fish. The trip was especially memorable for our daughter who caught a mackeral which was half eaten by a barracuda as she reeled it in. The crew were phenomenal- and prepared the most delicious ceviche, sashimi and guacamole while we swam in the shallow waters! kids said it was the best trip ever. highly recommended

    Reported Catch
    Yellowtail Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish
    Response from Charter operator

    Hi Anna, Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you and the kids had the 'best trip ever.' Reeling in a mackerel with a barracuda hot on its tail is an unforgettable catch story! It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the yellowtail snapper, the swimming stop, and the fresh ceviche and sashimi. Our crew had a great time hosting your family, and we’d welcome the chance to have you aboard again on your next visit! Take care.

    we had a womdetful 4 hour fishing trip

    4 hours - Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM • 9 adults • 3 children

    We had a wonderful fishing trip with Pescado Adventures. The crew were great and we soon caught 4 mahimahi. We were about to head off to the beach when we suddenly hooked something large. It was an 85 lb Marlin and what an effort to bring it in. A quick photo and we released him. that made our day! The crew served up delicious crevice, guacamole and a lovely fruit platter for lunch. We then headed off to a lovely beach for a swim and went home with our mahimahi for supper. I thoroughly recommend this company.

    Response from Charter operator

    Sheila. Thank you for the fantastic review! We are so glad the team could turn a great day of Mahi-Mahi fishing into an unforgettable one with that 85 lb Marlin—what a catch and a great release! It sounds like you had the perfect Riviera Maya day, from the big fight to the fresh ceviche and a relaxing swim. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to the crew. We can't wait to have you back on board for another adventure soon!

    fantastic trip!

    6 hours - 3/4 Day Trip • 8 adults

    Group of 8 with just two with casual fishing experience. Rodger was extremely responsive and helpful with pre-booking questions and Leo and crew were patient, supportive and a pleasure during our 6 hr trip. caught about 12 yellow fin snapper and enjoyed freshly made ceviche on the boat. trolled about 1.5 hrs right from the start (no luck) and bottom fished a bit over 3 hrs. stopped to have lunch with option to swim before heading back. Would highly recommend and book again!

    Reported Catch
    Yellowtail Snapper
    Response from Charter operator

    Hi Anne, Thank you so much for the fantastic review and recommendation! We are very happy to hear that your group of eight had such a great time out on the 40' Luhrs. We are also glad to hear that quick answers helped make planning smooth. Captain Leo and his crew love sharing their passion for the water—whether it’s helping out with bottom fishing or whipping up that fresh snapper ceviche right on board (Sonny's grandmother's recipe)! Nothing beats eating a catch fresh out of the sea. Thank you again for choosing Pescado Adventures. We’d love to welcome you and your group back on board for another awesome day on the water anytime you’re back in town! The Pescado Adventures Team

    Great time out on the water

    4 hours - Half Day Trip - 2:00 PM • 4 adults • 1 child

    Took my wife and two sons 12 and 16. Went for sailfish but unfortunately nothing was biting that say. The trip was great anyway - captain and crew took us to a great swimming location and let the kids jump off the side which more than made up for it. They also made us fresh guac and chips with olenty of cold drinks. Great trip - would book again.

    Response from Charter operator

    Food looked great next to that beer! Happy to hear that your family had fun even though we never managed to get you on top of some sailfish action that day. Hope to see you again Matt - please look us up when you get back. Take care.
