Why Choose fishing in cancun?

  • Proximity to the reef and deep waters: You’ll reach prime fishing grounds in less than 15 minutes from the pier.

  • Authentic fishing village atmosphere: No crowds, just the sound of the waves and the thrill of the catch.

  • Part of the Mesoamerican Reef System: The second-largest coral reef in the world, full of vibrant marine life.

Fishing trips

fishing is not just a sport — it’s a tradition that connects locals and travelers with the rhythm of the ocean. Whether you’re chasing a trophy sailfish, trolling for mahi-mahi, or enjoying bottom fishing near the reef, every trip promises excitement, serenity, and unforgettable ocean views.

This Bottom & Trolling Fishing Charter is perfect for those who want variety: from fighting reef fish to big game in the blue. Our experienced captain and crew will take you to the best spots, using top gear and proven techniques.Availability:

I had the undeniable pleasure of taking part in multiple activities with MExplor in Puerto Morelos. I went diving on the beautiful local reefs, both from shore and the boat, I went snorkeling in stunning cenotes Siete Bocas and Kin Ha, in the second one I also booked an underwater photoshoot, my first experience of this kind. I have also booked multiple salsa and bachata classes to get myself better and tried soul for the very first time. Needless to say, my time in Puerto Morelos was full of experiences and I'm very glad I chose MExplor team as my guides to the fun times, I've also learnt a lot from professional dive guides and dance teachers. Their range is wide and I cannot wait to see how they develop further, because the quality of experiences is absolutely top, it was the best vacation time I've ever had 🤿🫧📸💃

Fue una experiencia increíble, y los guías Esteban y Mal son súper amables y llenos de empatía porque lleve a mi mamá y otra pareja de gente mayor a 70años y los cuido increíble y los guió a cada paso. Los disfrutamos todos mucho y son un ambienta acogedor y lleno de amor por lo que hacen y el país. Gracias a los 2 porque nos hicieron crear un recuerdo inigualable.

FAQs

What’s the best season for fishing?

Fishing is great all year, but the peak season for big game (sailfish, marlin, mahi-mahi, wahoo) runs from March to August. From September to February, bottom fishing for snapper and grouper is excellent.

Conditions are usually calm in the Caribbean side, especially near Puerto Morelos. Some offshore trips may encounter moderate waves, but our captains monitor the weather daily to ensure comfort and safety.

Not at all! Our fishing charters are suitable for both beginners and experienced anglers. Our crew will guide you step by step — from baiting hooks to reeling in your first catch.

Trips typically range from 4-hour half-day tours to 8-hour full-day adventures. Private charters can also be customized for special occasions or group sizes.
