Fishing conditions in the Riviera Maya change throughout the year, but there is always something to catch.
January – March
This is peak season for sailfish fishing in the Riviera Maya. Offshore conditions are great, and it’s one of the best times for deep sea fishing in Playa del Carmen and Puerto Aventuras.
April – June
These months bring strong mahi-mahi and wahoo fishing. Conditions are warmer, and fishing charters in Playa del Carmen and Tulum are very active.
July – September
Summer offers consistent action across multiple species. Fishing in the Riviera Maya during this time is great for a mix of offshore and bottom fishing.
October – November
These months offer a good variety of species with slightly calmer conditions. It’s a great time for a more relaxed fishing experience.
December
Fishing starts picking up again for sailfish season, making it a great time to book a fishing charter in Playa del Carmen or Puerto Aventuras.
