We booked a trip with this outfit. Very responsive and accommodating. We chose the 6 hour fishing experience for 3 in the afternoon. Jose was our guide.. very friendly and fun. He was attentive and kept things moving when the fish weren't biting. Jose was awesome. Guides can make or break your experience for sure. The fishing picked up after a couple of hours and we caught Tarpon, Barricuda, and Snook.. before we knew it, the day was over. We had a wonderful time. A great way to spend time in Mexico!

These guys are great! Very very Professional. I took 2 trips. Guides are very knowledgeable. Nice boats. Good equipment. Top of the line fly rods and reels(Tibor and Sage). Plenty of water and sodas provided. I was going to go a 3rd day but I got a stomach bug. They refunded my payment. You know it’s a good business when a guide brags about the owner and how he is there with them early each morning.

If you’re a fishing enthusiast looking for a TRUE fishing adventure, look no further! After a disappointing experience with a deep sea charter the day before, I found my experience with this company to be extremely refreshing! The boat is nimble and you are able to reach tight spots and multiple spots very quickly. The boat is quiet, engine turns off so you can truly be immersed in nature. My guide, Noel, he knows the topography of the lagoon very well and will hook you on to practically any fish you’re looking for. He knows where they all live! He’s very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about the local fish and the many ways to hunt them. I had such an amazing time the first time that I actually booked a second trip! Noel was able to deliver an amazing experience both times.

From answering questions before and after registration to having a taxi driver ready and waiting when we returned an everything in between these guys were awesome.
Guide Maurice had us on fish within the first half hour and while we didn’t catch many fish today he did help me land my first Tarpon. My son and I hadn’t fished an early morning together in years because he was in college on the West coast so this was a great reunion of sorts. We both learned a lot had some laughs and missed some big tarpon but we will be back.

These guys did amazing, everything from inshore to offshore! Guides were world class, great with kids and put us on fish!! I fished 4 days out of 8 and never had a bad day, or even average. It was perfection and they should be proud of the work they do, Iv fished oceans all over the world and very few charters have ever impressed me like these guys!! You want fish of any size around Cancun you’ll be making a giant mistake not booking with these guys!!! Thanks again for trip to remember! I’ll be back next year.

Booking was tremendously easy. Martin was very responsive and answered all of my questions. We arrived on time and was greeted by both Martin and José, our guide. José took us to multiple different locations in the lagoon. He’s a very knowledgeable guide and has been working here for 10 years. He put us on the fish and gave me a lot of guidance on being able to catch tarpon. I wish I was both rich and lived here because I’d fish with José every day! Thank you for a great morning. We’ll definitely be booking again.

Guides are very knowledgeable about the area we fished. Moved from spot to spot make to sure we were into fish. I caught Baby Tarpon, Barracuda, Speckled Trout, Jack Crevelle. Originally only booked one day of fishing, fished a total of 3 days that week. Would definitely recommend them with no hesitation.

Fished with Mauricio today, we had an awesome morning fishing for baby tarpon and snook. This was my third trip to Cancun and my 3rd time fishing with these guys. Such an unexpected gem, the lagoon they fish is right in the hotel zone but they fish in the protected reserve so it is amazing. Today we fished to rolling juvenile tarpon in the 10-20lb range.. we jumped one but weren’t able to land him. We then moved to the back of the creeks to fish for baby tarpon, these were aggressive fish in the 2-5lb range. We finished our 4 hour trip sight fishing snook next to the mangroves, these were 5-10lb snook that were cruising between the mangrove holes. All in all this is the perfect place to come and stay in a nice hotel, fish early in the morning or late in the evening and get back to the family in between. Martin and his wife run an amazing operation based right in the hotel zone, such an awesome experience.

The charter was excellent. Our guide- Jose- knee the spots to fish during our 6 hours and gave excellent guidance It was our first experience and he made it very memorable. My son caught a tarpon, jackarel, snook, sea trout, and 2 barracuda. Our friend landed a large tarpon- the light gear made the fishing fun. Martin’s wife made really goose sandwiches that hit the spot after a few hits in the water. Plenty of water and drinks. I felt the value we got for the cost was excellent. Will use them again

Outstanding trip with José. He was friendly, patient with our beginner skills, and put us on the fish all morning long. He loves seeing and catching Tarpon and he is extremely good at it! My wife’s first fishing trip and she loved it. We got 3 bites from tarpon, and landed 3 barracuda and 2 amberjacks all after a full moon (which can make day fishing harder). The company is very well run, the communication is clear, and the marina by the Oxxo and Taboo is easy to find. Will be back ASAP!
