Frequently Asked Questions about PUERTO AVENTURAS DEEP SEA FISHING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MARINA AND DEPARTURE QUESTIONS ABOUT RESERVATIONS AND CANCELLATIONS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOATS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FISHING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FISH WE CATCH QUESTIONS ABOUT ARRIVING BY CRUISE SHIP
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MARINA AND DEPARTURE
Where is the dock or marina? When you reserve we will send you a map of where to go from your hotel. Puerto Aventuras is not that big and you will easily find us. 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. Normally 30 minutes before your departure time. Do you provide transportation from my Riviera Maya Hotel to the marina dock? Transportation from your hotel to the dock is not included in the fishing charter. If you want to reserve transportation from and to your hotel for your fishing trip click here and reserve transportation separately.
QUESTIONS ABOUT RESERVATIONS AND CANCELLATIONS	back to FAQ
How do I know you have available the boat I want? If you reserve several days or more in advance we probably have the boat you want available. We recommend you send in your reservation complete with your credit card information and if the boat you want is not available we reserve you a boat very similar to the one you chose. We will also call you if nothing else is available so be sure to include your phone number. Is it possible to make a fishing reservation when I get to my hotel? We do recommend you make your fishing reservations as far in advance as possible so that you are sure to get a boat. During the high season from January to August there are many times we have no boats available 2-3 days in advance. To reserve once you arrive in the area call us at 01-998-898-4312. 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. 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 price depending on how successful your crew was for you.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOATS	back to FAQ
How many people can go on the boat? It depends on the boat. You will notice above the price of each boat the maximum number of passengers that that craft will accommodate. Do you have English speaking captains? Our captains and crew speak at least “fishing English.” The language will not be a problem. Do the boats have a bathroom on board? Yes, the boats do have a bathroom on board. 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. Lunch is provided on the 8 hour charger only, so you may want to bring a lunch or snack on a 4 or 6 hour charter. 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. Why take a chance?
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FISHING	back to FAQ
What can we expect to catch? What you will catch depends on the time of year you come fishing. To see the various species that you may catch click here to see a calendar. 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 a 6 or 8 hour charter. You enhance your chances. Third, tell the captain at check in that your main interest is billfish. I am interested in the fishing and snorkeling combination 6 or 8 hour charter What can we expect? We will take you fishing and then snorkeling unless you prefer to snorkel first. Since you want to snorkel part of the day that limits your fishing time but to see what fish you can expect to catch click here to see the calendar of what you can expect to catch. How much travel time, non-fishing time, is there? The fishing grounds are very close to shore and you will be fishing within 10 minutes of the dock. 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 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, scroll down the page to the area Puerto Aventuras. 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.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FISH WE CATCH	back to FAQ
What happens to the fish we catch? All billfish caught are released unless you want to mount them. Edible fish are put in the cooler and can be part of your “tip” for the crew or the crew will gladly filet them for you. Then you take your catch to your favorite restaurant or hotel restaurant for that evening’s dinner. We strongly recommend that you take some fish filets and go to a restaurant for dinner. The concierge in your hotel can make restaurant recommendations, the crew at the dock can make recommendations or call us here at 01-998-898-4312 and we will make recommendations. One fun way to end a day of fishing is to eat your fresh catch. We also recommend that you have the restaurant prepare you catch 3 different ways. Then you decide which is your favorite. By the way, your meal will cost about $10-$12 USD per person with side dishes when you bring the fish. What are the best fish to take to eat? The best fish for your dinner will be Dorado (Mahi Mahi,) Wahoo, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Snapper, and Grouper. Any of these will make for an unforgettable dinner. Can I take fish back to the U.S. in an ice chest? You can, but we do not recommend it. Since security has been tightened at all airports worldwide we do not recommend you try to take edible fish back to the U.S. First the airlines no longer accept Styrofoam ice chest, and securing dry ice in Cancun will cost you more time and effort than it is worth. Then you will have delays on arrival in the U.S. while your baggage is checked. Back To Top | Back to Faq
QUESTIONS ABOUT ARRIVING BY CRUISE SHIP	back to FAQ
We are arriving to Calica on a cruise ship. I would like to take a fishing trip but I need to make sure I can get back in time for the cruise ship’s departure. Can it be done? First confirm the arrival and departure times of your cruise ship to Calica and make sure the arrival and departure times are quoted for the CENTRAL TIME ZONE. 4 Hour Charters - If your arrival time quoted in Central Time is 8:30 AM or earlier you can make it to the dock (20 minutes away from Calica) for a morning departure at 9 AM. – Since you are chartering the boat you can be late – but understand that the 4 hour morning charter ends at 1PM and you will loose fishing time if you arrive late. Generally the departure times of the cruise ships do not accommodate the afternoon 4 hour charter from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM.
