Discover the Top Fishing Locations in Mexico’s Coastal Waters

Mexico’s coastline is dotted with some of the best fishing spots you’ll find anywhere. From the Caribbean side near Cozumel to the Pacific coast, the variety of fish and the beauty of the surroundings make it a fisherman's dream. Here in Cozumel and Playa del Carmen, the waters are rich with species like mahi-mahi, sailfish, and marlin. The reefs and deep waters offer plenty of action for anglers of all skill levels.

If you’re looking for a spot that combines great fishing with stunning views, you can’t go wrong here. The coral reefs provide shelter for many fish, while the open sea is perfect for big game fishing. Our captains know exactly where to take you depending on the season and your preferences. We keep things simple and fun, so you can focus on the thrill of the catch.

Can foreigners fish in Mexico?

Yes, foreigners can fish in Mexico, and it’s easier than you might think. There are no special permits required for recreational fishing in most areas, including Cozumel and Playa del Carmen. That means you can hop on a boat and start fishing without a lot of red tape. We handle all the gear, bait, and licenses needed for the trip, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

If you’re planning to fish in protected areas or go commercial, there might be some rules to follow. But for private, recreational trips like the ones we run, it’s straightforward. Just bring your sense of adventure and a good attitude. We’ll take care of the rest.

Tips for making the most of your fishing trip in Mexico

To get the best out of your day on the water, a little preparation goes a long way. Here are some tips from our experience:

• Choose the right time: Early mornings and late afternoons tend to be the best for fishing. The fish are more active, and the sun isn’t too harsh.

• Dress smart: Light, breathable clothing and a hat will keep you comfortable. Don’t forget sunscreen.

• Stay hydrated: We provide cold drinks, but it’s good to drink plenty of water before and during your trip.

• Listen to your captain: Our captains know the waters and the fish. Following their advice will make your trip smoother and more successful.

• Bring your camera: The views and the catches make for great photos.
