Head out from IGY Marina with a private captain and first mate for up to eight hours around Cabo. The crew supplies rods, bait, licenses, lunch, snacks, water, sodas, and beer while you fish for marlin, dorado, tuna, wahoo, roosterfish, and more.

“Had a great trip with Capt Jose and Freddie. We were in 3-4 foot swells about 5-7 miles out and the Marlin were feeding. We had on hook up and throw the lure within the first 10 minutes of putting out. In another 10 minutes we hooked into and were able to land a striped marlin that was just under 9 foot. Unfortunately my brother in law started getting sick so we had to return to shore but it was still an epic day. The crew was awesome and new hot to get us on the fish. Thanks for a great day.”

The seats were pretty uncomfortable. I wouldn't purchase this excursion again or reccomend it. Captain Chummy was a good dude.”

Juan may help with bait and spotting wildlife, while captain Theo keeps the trip moving at an easy pace. Fishing gear, snorkel gear, bait, water, and fish cleaning are included.

“We had an amazing time with Island Adventures on the private snorkeling and fishing tour. Snorkeling near a quiet reef with no other boats around was incredible, and our guide Juan pointed out so many fish and even a stingray. He also walked me through how to bait the hook during the fishing portion, which was fun to learn. Theo, our captain, kept everything smooth and relaxed from start to finish. The water in Isla Mujeres is bluer than any pool I’ve ever seen, and with calm seas and sunny skies, it was the perfect day. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Fish from Mahahual with a private captain and sailor for four hours of trolling, using five rods, lures, teasers, a dredge, and baits. Crews such as Axel, Roberto, Luis, and Cesar have helped families land barracuda, jacks, skipjack, and mahi mahi. Bring a taxi, sun protection, and realistic expectations.

“We were informed upon arrival at the dock that the waves were too rough to go out beyond the reef, and we were offered the opportunity of a refund, enjoy their beach, or fish within the reef. We chose to fish. While they had two spin cast rods for casting and two bait cast for trolling, we only trolled during the trip. They said there were too many rocks to cast. So, we sat on a 3.5 hr slow moving boat trip without touching a pole until a storm caused us to head in. I had hopes we might get lucky and get a barracuda, but that didn't happen. I…”

While on-board crew told 2 of us to hide in bathroom because too many people aboard boat while going past harbor master. Went to purchase licenses but system was not working so told "not to worry about it" . Seemed very sketchy and unprofessional. While on boat, crew did not talk to us or engage with us. They set up fishing lines and went up top to talk on their phones. We never once fished while on board and only one of…”
