Where is the dock or marina?
When you reserve we will send you a map of where to go from your hotel. We are in the middle of the Cancun hotel zone so do not worry it is easy.

What time do we need to be at the dock?
When you reserve you will receive a coupon with all the needed information including the time you need to be at the marina dock.

Do you provide transportation from my Cancun hotel to the marina dock?
Transportation from your hotel to the dock is not included in the fishing charter.
Here is a list of the prices for transportation round trip from and back to your hotel.

You can reserve your transportation at the time you make your fishing charter reservation. Please see the reservation form and select your transportation needs or add to comment box you will need trasportation.

What is your cancellation policy?
You can cancel any fishing trip up to 24 hours before departure and only pay a 5% credit card processing fee. If the trip is cancelled because the port is closed then you will receive a 100% refund. Click Here! To see all Cancellation and Change Policy.

When I reserve do I get the boat I choose?
Yes. That is why we put the pictures of the boats and a list of equipment on the website. So you can choose and reserve what you want. Of course the further in advance you make your reservation the better the chance you will get the boat you want.

What if the boat I want is not available?
We will call you or email you and recommend a comparable boat before we charge your credit card and make your reservation.

Is the pricing on the website correct?
Yes. The prices are accurate and complete meaning that there are no additional charges. At the end of the trip a tip is optional but generally a tip of 10% - 15% of the charter depending on how successful your crew was for you.

Do I need to bring anything?
As far as fishing tackle is concerned you do not need to bring anything. We provide all tackle needed.
We do recommend you bring a hat and sunglasses and sun block.

Do I need to bring food?
Food is not provided on any of the charters.
We recommend that if you want food do one of the following:
1 – “Raid” the breakfast bar or dinner bar at your all inclusive hotel
2 – Stop at a convenience store on the way to the marina and buy more beer, things to make sandwiches and grab some chips too. Convenience stores called OXXO seem to the best.

Do I need to bring more beer and liquor?
While beer is included there are only 3 beers per person. It is not an “Open Bar.” Also liquor is not included but you are welcomed to bring it.
Should you want more beer we recommend you bring it with you – go to Wal-Mart or to a chain of convenience stores called OXXO for beers and liquors.
The transportation from the marina will not stop for beer and sandwhich materials so we recommend you have it upon pickup.

Will I get seasick?
Seasickness depends on the individual and the conditions of the sea the day you go fishing. We recommend that if you do not know if you get seasick that you take a commercial motion sickness medication or use the wrist bands or patches that go behind the ear.

Do you do trolling or bottom fishing?
When you charter the boat you decide. We normally recommend a combination of the two. So if trolling is slow we pull up on the reef and let you go for groupers and snappers. However the decision is yours.

We want to catch bill fish. What do you recommend?
First look at the fishing calendar and come when the bill fish are here.
Second, take an 8 hour charter. You enhance your chances.
Third, tell the captain at check in that your main interest is billfish.

How much travel time, non-fishing time, is there?
The fishing grounds are about 35 to 45 minutes from the dock.

How is the time calculated on a 4, 6, 8 hour trip?
The hours of your fishing trip are calculated from “dock to dock.” In other words a 4 hour trip is “4 hours from the time you leave the cock until you return to the dock.” Same for the 6 and 8 hour trip. Travel time to the fishing grounds is part of your “trip time.”.

What kind of bait do you use?
We use ballyhoo, mullet, and lures. We will vary the baits depending on the fish available at the particular time of year you go.

Do you catch and release?
Game fish which are not edible (sailfish, and marlin) are released. If you want to mount a fish them, then those fish are brought in so we can send them off to be mounted.

I want to mount my catch. Can I do that?
Yes the staff at the dock will arrange everything for you so that you can mount your fish and have it shipped.

Is there fly fishing available from the deep sea fishing boats?
The situation is different here in Cancun that in the Pacific where you actually spot the fish. Here you hardly ever see the sailfish - which makes fly fishing for them very difficult. So we do not offer fly fishing from our deep sea fishing boats. To see our fly fishing trips click here.

Is there any freshwater fishing in Cancun.
No there is no freshwater fishing in Cancun. There is saltwater deep-sea fishing and shallow water spin tackle fishing. To see shallow water spin tackle and fly fishing click here.

Should I tip at the end of the fishing trip?
Generally a 10% to 15% tip is given if the crew did a good job for you.
