Fishing Charters from Cancún: What to Know Before You Book

If you’re staying in Cancún and want to go deep sea fishing, you don’t have to book from a crowded marina downtown. Many of the best fishing grounds in the region are actually closer to Puerto Aventuras, about an hour south of Cancún along the Riviera Maya coast.

Why Fish From Puerto Aventuras Instead of Cancún

Puerto Aventuras is a quieter, working marina with direct access to the same deep water where mahi mahi, sailfish, and other big game species run. You get a more personal experience, real local knowledge from the crew, and often a shorter run out to the fishing grounds than boats leaving from busier Cancún docks.

What a Trip Looks Like

Hi Bob Fishing Charters runs two boats out of Puerto Aventuras:

Hi Bob (up to 6 guests): $550 for 4 hours, $700 for 6 hours, $850 for a full 8-hour day

Mr. Wrinkles (up to 12 guests): $650 for 4 hours, $800 for 6 hours, $950 for a full 8-hour day

Every trip includes your captain and mate, all fishing gear, bottled drinks, snorkeling equipment, life jackets, and fresh ceviche made from your catch right on board.

Getting There From Cancún

The drive down is straightforward, and we’re happy to help you plan the logistics based on where you’re staying. Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll walk you through the best way to get to the marina for your trip time.

Is It Worth the Drive?

For most visitors, yes. You trade a slightly longer drive for a calmer marina, a more personal crew, and fishing grounds that don’t see the same boat traffic as the charters running directly out of Cancún. If you’re staying multiple days in Cancún and want one real, memorable day on the water, it’s a short trip well spent.
