★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 39 reviews · 6 hours (approx.)

Join Captain Tony, David, Miguel and their crew for a six-hour shared fishing trip from Puerto Xtabay in Cancun. Your group of up to six fishes for barracuda, snapper, grouper and tuna aboard a fully equipped yacht, with rods, bait, a fishing license, beer, water and soda included.

“I caught the biggest fish I've ever caught. 60lb grouper.The mates kept that fish stating parasites. My other fish a snapper, they gave away to a woman they claimed came to the dock stating she didnt have food to feed her family. Not sure what that had to do with me. So I left with no fish that I caught. The woman that booked the trip for was nice enough to get the restaurant to give me a few filets. But I still felt taken advantage of. I know the mates kept all the fish from the trip. Not cool at all!”
