It is the fishing village of Playa del Carmen, the Marina of Puerto Aventuras, Tulum and the peninsula of Yucatan that is often referred to as “the privileged location on the natural Mayan Riviera for sailfish migration”. It is in these waters off Yucatan where the big game fish love to lurk. Fresh runs of Blue and White Marlin, Dorado, Sailfish, and Yellowfin Tuna tempt anglers from February through September. View our sports fishing calendar below.
Due to the unique topography, the area is virtually perched on the edge of an underwater valley. The sandy ocean floor plunges dramatically down into deep blue darkness, bringing the hunting ground for monster-sized game fish practically to the shore. Sports fishermen also praise the southern beaches of this area for their abundance of Dorado, Wahoo, Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Red Snapper, Grouper, Spanish Makarel and other species.

There are tales of the seasonal Marlin runs that offer up giants as large as a 500 pounds, “once you see that sail jumping out of the water, you’re hooked”. Our boats can reach prime fishing territory and be running gear in less than 10 minutes. With over 500 species in the waters of the Mayan Riviera, there’s fishing for every level, from the curious beginner to the serious professional.
