Reasons to go Fishing in Cancun

Sportfishing in Cancun is not only for professional fishers.

Where to fish in Cancun?

Cancun has rich and diverse marine life, and we can find different fish in the area. Some remain in the habitat all year round, while others migrate seasonally. The most popular species in the area are sailfish and marlin. Sailfish migrate to Cancun in winter and stay in the place until July, so these months are excellent to plan your Cancun fishing tour.

Eat your fish.

Our staff can prepare your fish for you to enjoy at the beachfront restaurant, or if you are staying at an all-inclusive resort, the kitchen will prepare your fish according to your preferences. However, if you are one of the people who rent an apartment in an apartment or Airbnb, then your reward may be dinner that night.

Load your fish.

If you decide to keep the fish, we can provide taxidermy services. This way, you can take home the specimen you caught and show it to family or friends.

Catch and release.

This is our preferred method. The impact of overfishing is a problem in some parts of the world, so we encourage tourists to catch and release their fish. You can take pictures, weigh, measure and release, so these little guys can go back to where they belong.

Book a private or shared charter

When planning your activities in Cancun, it isn’t easy to please the whole family. So, fishing may not be an activity your entire family likes; that’s why we offer you an alternative to booking a shared charter boat – this is a good choice!


Our charter holds six people, and everyone gets a turn and a chance to fish and has two reel chairs to counteract the power when you catch something. Of course, private boats are preferred so that you can enjoy the ship exclusively for the whole day, and passengers who don’t plan to fish are also welcome!
