I booked a half day trip for 7, myself, my 4 sons and 2 of their friends.  I have been on fishing trips all over including Cabo, Hawaii, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Bahamas, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and several other places but I have never been on a trip that didn’t bring enough rods for everyone on board.  As I said, I booked a trip for 7 but they only brought 3 rods for 7 people.  I was fine with not fishing, but my 20 year old and 9 year old love fishing and I had planned to just help my 9 year old anyway, but what ended up happening was 3 people fished while 3 sat and watched and then they would trade out every 20 minutes or so.  We only caught 2 small fish all day and only had 5 or 6 total “bites” which I know is just how it goes sometimes but it was very disappointing for my 9 year old who was super excited about the trip.  The guide and captain were friendly and seamed knowledgeable and I would recommend them as long as you only have a group of 3-4.

My Mother and I came to Playa Del Carmen for vacation and booked a half day fishing trip on La Reina. ALL of our expectations were exceeded!
Both the Captain and First mate were extremely pleasant,  courteous and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time and caught beautiful fish! I had never been on a fishing boat and had no experience with ocean fishing before and the First mate did an absolute fantastic job teaching me how it was done. I would 100% recommend booking this trip to anyone who is looking to have a once in a lifetime experience. I hope that we can go back someday and do it again.

We had a great family half-day experience with captain Gustavo and Aurelio. Our trip started off with deep sea fishing, where Aurelio prepared lures and bait using a very innovative technique. We then moved to more shallow waters and ended with some rock fishing. We left some time to enjoy an hour of snorkeling with kids and family at an amazing reef with sea rays and lots of tropical fish. In the meantime, Gustavo and Aurelio prepared a ceviche with our catch of the day before heading back to our point of departure. During the trip we had a fantastic view of the coastline of Playa del Carmen and the beautiful waters of the caribbean. I recommend this experience to everyone who enjoys fishing and wants to also provide a wonderful experience with friend and family. The boat is very well maintained, Gustavo is a great captain, and Aurelio a very experienced fisherman. The fishing equipment is also in good conditions.

My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Gustavo and Aurelio on La Reina during the morning of January 6, 2023. We caught and kept many fish both trolling and bottom fishing during our half-day trip.  We had lines in the water a few minutes before 8:00 (our scheduled start time), and we already had a fish caught before we were even scheduled to start.  Twice during our trip we caught 2 fish at one time, having 2 hooks/baits on the line - I have been on many fishing trips, but never have experienced that before…so fun. Both Captain G. and Captain A. were experienced, professional and kind. The boat was clean and well maintained and well handled by Captain Gustavo. The equipment and rigging and bait was well prepared and fully handled by Captain Aurelio.
Booking was easy and communication responsive.  I hope to be in Playa del Carmen again soon and would definitely book again with La Reina and Captain G. and Captain A. Thanks for a great trip!
