This was my 9 year old son’s first fishing excursion and it was beyond amazing. It was everything I could have wished it to be and more. From start to finish this was a 10! It was easy to book this excursion. The day of, we received detailed instructions for arrival and the dick was easy to find. Upon arrival they had everything we needed. All we had to do was show up. They had all the fishing equipment and many drink options in a cooler for us. Mauricio was very very knowledgeable. He has been fishing for 30 years. He knew exactly where to get the live bait, he knew exactly where to fish and how to catch the fish in each area. He took us to 6-7 different locations to fish so we could catch different types of fish. My son caught 5 fish in total - one being a 3 foot barracuda! Mauricio did all the work for us. He put all the bait on the line, he took off all the fish we caught. He went out of his way to make this such a special experience for us. He was so kind and taught my son many tricks and techniques. He was very patient with him. We went past our scheduled time and he did not charge us extra. I highly recommend this company for everywhere from first timers to experienced fishermen! I thank them for such a beautiful memory with my son!

We specifcally booked this boat because it advertized having an air conditioned cabin. There was in fact no AC during our charter. We asked about turning on the AC and were told it didnt work. This caused our group to get overheated and physically sick,(to the point of puking) making everyone miserable. We ended up cutting our 8 hour booking in half. We took Dramamine beforehand and have been out on trips like this before, so it wasnt because we "didnt have our sea legs". We also weren't informed that the sea was going to be rough. Otherwise we probably would have made a different decision to go out as far as we did. We felt that we also got carbon monioxide poisoning from the engine smoke circulating from the back of the boat into the cabin. The door into the cabin couldnt be closed due to being zip tied open.

Understand the season your in and what type of fish can be caught. You can’t catch all the fish that are targeted if it not the season for the fish but it’s still possible to get lucky. You will be doing a lot of trolling and trying different spots to catch the big fish.

The ocean was rough and we ended up trolling for everything. What we caught was great, but the seas were rough with rain and lightening. The Captain and First Mate were very capable and knowledgeable.

If you plan an 8 hour trip in Cancun in July, be prepared to be hot. The inside cabin has ample couches to hide out of the sun and the stern has a sun shade which helps tremendously but it’s hot no matter what. 8 hours of patiently waiting for the fish to bite can be tiresome and so I would not recommend 8 hours if children plan to attend.

Yes- just have realistic expectations that ocean fishing isn't always as good as social media makes it seem. Was hoping to catch some mahi, snapper, grouper, etc but the bite wasn't on that morning. So like any good captain, he adjusted to an "easier" catch and put us on bonita and baracuda so we had some action. At the end of the day we had a great time in some amazing, clear and relatively calm waters.

Choose this operation and pray for good weather if you're going in June. When the weather shuts down offshore fishing the mangroves provide wind blocks and calmer water. You don't have to bring anything, everything you need is provided.

Make sure the Captain presented on Fishingbooker will be your captain not someone else. Find out about transportation to and from the marina. Will the Captain provide experienced crew members. Will the Captain have ice, live bait, and a live well that works.

Take Dramamine 30 minutes prior to leaving. We got seasick during our trip which was no fault on the crew. They were very understanding and helpful. We still ended up catching a lot of fish and they made fillets for us to take back to our resort where the chef cooked it! Very cool experience. For what we paid, the boat was probably very reasonable, but in the future we might like a little roomier boat. Our crew was awesome!

Take some Dramamine if you think you may possibly get seasick. Even on a tame day like we experienced today we were rolling in 6-10ft swells all day which can take its toll on you. Also wear a sun shirt and wear plenty of sunscreen!

I researched the fishing prior and it showed it was low/gloom but we were catching so much barracuda that we headed out for sailfish and then we we’re got into bonita that I wasn’t sure if we could hold more fish lol. Then we cought 4 sail fish. 3 at one time

Be prepared to have the fishing experience of a lifetime with these guys. If you've never been deep sea fishing, I would highly recommend eating some Gravol About an hour before your trip. The swells can get pretty big and you are out there for quite a while so be prepared. Also, be prepared to have a sore arm from reeling in so many fish!

Inshore fishing is a great option for the winter months. You can do it most of the time when seas don’t allow you to go deep seas fishing. Still fun, still catching a verity of species. Kid friendly and close to shore.

Be ready to catch fish! If the captain reaches out and asks what kind of fish you would like to catch, I suggest saying "the big ones." That's just me. We were informed that we could have targeted some other fish that were further south, but they would not likely to be very big. When the captain knew we wanted to hunt for bigger fish, he took us to where the big fish were. It did not disappoint. we caught huge bonito, king mackerel and a bull shark. The crew provided us with a cooler full of water, soda and beer. That was great. I strongly suggest bringing your own meal from your resort and layers to hide you from the sun. sunscreen is not comfortable when you're fishing under the sun all day.

Weather could be tricky, so check the night before that your trip and captains equipment is still good. Check for additional fees with your captain before you come. This particular trip was what I expected, but some others charge more fees that were not listed

Come without expectations. It's fishing after all. The team will do their best. We caught so many fish our arms are sore from reeling them in. Bring snacks if you want them. Helpful on an 8 hour trip. And yes I would only go on an 8 hour trip. The value and experience is too great to pass up.

Cancun is warm waters almost year round so fishing is always good. Consider what you’re hoping to catch as they do have seasons for certain fish and if you want to deal with possible weather or wind issues as there are times of year these are more predictable in planning. Cancun fishing is some of the best around for cost and catch. I’ve fished the east coast of the US and Gulf Stream, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Cancun many teams. Cancun is at the top of my list for offshore fishing experience.

Had a great trip, first time out in the ocean and it went great. Beautiful day, low minds and fun time with captain Romeo. Started off catching some live bait and was slow at first but then caught 4 fish right away and headed out to deeper seas. Once out, had plenty of fishing and beers in between the wait. In total we caught 6 fish but 3 were too small to keep and brought back 3. Would highly recommend this trip for anyone that wants to try sea fishing.

If you are an avid fisherman, tell the captain no trolling. If you troll, they put the bait on the rod. They do the casting. They fish. All you do is bring the fish in once hooked. So they have all the fun and pay them too. I want a fishing rod in my hand at all times. I don't want to sit on the boat and be bored watching them do everything. That is not my style of fishing. I cast, I caught the fish.

If you come for the fishing and plan to take your catch home, make sure that the hotel you book will allow/provide you to use their freezer space for your fish. You don't want to be hauling 2 or 3 day old fish anywhere unless it is frozen as soon as possible after being caught. Freezer space at hotels on the West Coast (Cabos) is standard but we have run into some difficulties here in Cancun. The resort owners need to step it up and accommodate anglers that want to keep their catch.

Martin and Spicy(deckhand) took great care of us and got us on fish within minutes of getting to the fishing grounds. We had doubles a few times. When we were done fishing Spicy made us ceviche. It was some of the best I had ever eaten. If I come back to Cancun, I will most definitely be reaching out to Martin again.

Bring Cash!!!!!!! Go with bigger boats for comfort, take at least 8 hours trip, and ask the captain to fish got the more difficult bigger fish first save the last few hours to catch the easiest fish.

Smaller boat and small crew. However wonderful trip for 2-4 adults due to boat size. We caught a giant barracuda with really no problem so the gear, tackle etc was effective. Crew was very very nice and understand English great. Give them a shot!!!!

I 100% recommend it to all ages. They were very professional and helpful about what we should do with our catch. We ate ceviche and fish tacos from oylur barracuda catch at the onsite restaurant. My only advice is is specify what you want cooked. We had 32 tacos and 2 bowls of ceviche for 3 people. My family had a great time!!!!

Don't go out if water conditions were like ours if you are prone to seasickness. Two of the four in our party got seasick because of the water conditions. The conditions were not the best, but the boat and crew were top-notch. We thoroughly enjoyed the fishing and the fish we caught made it worth it.

Use sunscreen. Give the inshore charter operators a look , you are fishing sooner and it is a more hands on experience. Trust your guide to know what fish are biting

I would have loved to catch a sailfish but we were too early in the season but still got some barracuda!
