They worked super hard to get us each fish! Seas were very rough, to be expected. Not for the faint of heart when on a smaller boat with rough seas. We thought it was a blast! They cooked up our catch after with tacos and ceviche which was absolutely amazing!!!!! Caught 3 mackerel, 2 of them were close to 3’ long.

Things you should know before booking: 1. This is not a hands-on fishing excursion in the traditional sense. The crew does the actual fishing, and guests reel the fish in once something is hooked. If that’s the type of experience you’re looking for, you’ll likely enjoy it, because the guys on board were hardworking, friendly, and pleasant to spend time with. 2. Blue water fly fishing was not available during our trip, despite being mentioned on the tour listing and website. Nick explained that it needed to be arranged in advance, but when I tried multiple times beforehand to set that up, I either received no response or was told the day before the trip that it would be “trolling/sport fishing only.” 3. The tour description also mentioned the option to eat the fish afterward at a nearby hotel, but this was never brought up or offered during our trip. At the end of the excursion, we were simply dropped back off at the beach. Overall, the experience itself was pleasant. The crew worked hard, and Nick was enjoyable to talk with. I just wish I had known the details above before booking, as the experience was different from what the listing led me to expect. Hopefully this helps future guests know exactly what kind of excursion they are signing up for.

We had an excellent time with Nick, Ismael, and Andrik. They were so knowledgeable and efficient with what they did. They were very mindful of our time to get back to the cruise ship and made sure to leave us time to enjoy the cooking of our catch, which was masterfully prepared and very delicious. Nick was an outstanding host and guide, and was even more accommodating with the preparation of our catch. 10 out of 10 for the experience, and we would absolutely do this again with them if we ever return.

We booked the three hour fishing trip. Had a great time. Crew worked hard. Boat was clean and all the equipment was in good order. Hooked up 4 times. Landed 2. Had them Prepared at the restaurant on site and it tasted amazing.

Rough seas, 4-6+ft, for most of the trip. Did not hook any fish, only seaweed. After about 3hrs, we abuptly stopped and took a very fast and rough ride back to the beach. Two young kids as guides, so it appears they aren't very knowledgeable of the fish patterns here yet. We're experienced fishermen and women and we understand sometimes you don't catch fish. But we're a little perplexed at their approach to trolling..

Good fishing. Nice captains. Terrible restaurant management with our Catch preparation. If you want to not just fish but to eat your catch - better find someone else. After 2 hours wait, out of 5 fish we caught, they served us 1 fish and said they will keep the rest for their boss because “how can you eat all that fish?” My son was starving as we didn’t have breakfast, he is a big 14yo athlete who can eat a horse. We spent 4 hours fighting with the restaurant staff to have ALL of our catch served to us that we paid for. This was so annoying, unprofessional and unfair and just left a bad taste in our mouths.

We had the best day ever fishing with Captain Nick and his crew! Lovely man who clearly was an expert in this field. Barracuda were the fish of choice today. They definitely put up a fight. Book with Captain Nick. You won’t regret it.

We had an absolute blast with Nick and his crew! We were an avid fishing family and found this trip to be productive- caught 3 barracuda (one being a monster) and several other species that we released. After the excursion was over, we returned to Nacional Beach Club where we started, and the restaurant cooked up our fish and made both tacos and a fish platter while we relaxed in the pool. Both were fantastic! This was by far the best excursion we have done in Costa Maya!

Very poor experience. Not as advertised. I would like some of my money back!? I was expecting as shown on website: A nice boat with outriggers good equipment, and fishing for 4 people. There were two boats next to each other when we got there. One as advertised on the website with good equipment , padded seats, two engines, and out riggers. Then there was a junker boat.. no outriggers, no padded seats, old single engine, and cheap rods. The English speaking guy said that they sub contracted that boat for us??? They actually siphoned gas from a hose halfway on the trip from a non approved water tank vs a gas tank. Rods and line were old and cheap. Very little interaction from the crew. Most importantly, they only fished 3 rods, not 4. I have been on many guided trips before, had good fishing days and bad, but It was the fact that we got stuck with the subcontractors junky boat, old equipment and only FISHED 3 rods. To rub salt into the wound, the nicer boat showed up just as we were leaving and they did catch fish. Plus the English gentleman said they had a much better chance because of their equipment

Boat was a bit smaller but did the job safely , had five bites in rough chop, landed 2 fish, had a monster on, myself and son in law had to tag team fighting till the fish broke 200 lb test 😢
