Our Top 10 Deep Sea Fishing Trips in Mexico

1.Private fishing charter Boat 48ft 12 pax Good Marlin and Sailfish

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 62 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) Our pick

Join Cancun Fishing Tours aboard a private 48-foot boat for up to 12 people. Fish 5 to 35 miles offshore around Cancun and Isla Mujeres for marlin, sailfish, tuna, dorado, wahoo, shark, and barracuda. Rods, bait, crew, water, sodas, and ice are included.

“The people were amazing and we were able to catch a lot of fish which was really fun. I gave it a 3/5 because the boat was severely outdated and looked nothing like the picture. We also had 11 people and there were no seats for people to sit on other than the torn up leather coach on the inside of the boat. This made it for a really long trip standing on a boat in the ocean especially with 70 year old parents. We ended up only staying out about 3 of the 4 hours because the standing was a lot.”

“You're risking your life if you get on this boat!! The diesel exhaust fumes made us sick! This was NOT the boat pictured! There were NO life preservers, NO radio, NO fishing equipment except for 6 fishing poles and 2 plastic chairs on the back of the boat! Although Capitan Ronny and his mates kept 5 rods in the water the only chance to catch a fish was when they saw a Marlin fin above the surface! We did hook a shark but it got off when I was handed the pole. We saw Marlin, Tuna and plenty of other fish on other boats when we got back to the…”
