Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

Tulum Inshore Fishing

Tulum is located amongst beaches and jungles but happens to be right on the edge of some deep underwater canyons. The depth means it will be way easier for you to skip out of town and catch some true deep-sea fish. Take a trip to Tulum and introduce yourself to the Yucatan way of life!

If you like to stay closer to shore, there are plenty of reefs and inshore action to be had! Tulum has often been called the permit capital of the world because of the quality opportunities that exist here. With bonefish, snook, barracuda, and more, there is a bucket list fish for every angler in the inshore waters around Tulum.

Tulum Reef Fishing

The reefs near Tulum are teeming with fish species that are a blast to catch and will have you coming back for more. Various species of snapper and grouper feed near these reefs and the best way to target them is by deep-dropping bait. Amberjack, mackerel, and kingfish also patrol these waters and will crush bait when the bite is on. All of these species make for excellent meals which is an added bonus to the excitement of catching them. The reef fishing here is packed full of action and you can expect sore arms the next day.

Tulum Offshore Trolling

Heading to productive offshore waters doesn't take long from Tulum because of the underwater canyons that surround the area. Once out of the harbor, you can drop lines and target mahi-mahi, tuna, blue marlin, white marlin, sailfish, and swordfish on these exhilarating fishing charters. With these fish growing to hundreds of pounds you might have to battle a fish for hours. Landing one of these giants means you are in for a treat because they have excellent food qualities and it doesn't get much better than fresh seafood you caught yourself.

    Carlos and his crews were fantastic! Very communicative before we arrived, making sure that he was planning to help us get just what we wanted out of our fishing charter! When it came to the day, our guides were knowledgeable, friendly and very hard working. They kept our lines out and baited all day long, and our catch certainly showed it!

    Leonardo was fantastic with communication and letting us know the weather. While unfortunately the weather wasn’t good enough for the port to be guaranteed open during our trip, Leonardo did his best to get us out there as safely as possible for 3 different days. I can’t speak for the fishing, but for everything else Leonardo was a 11/10.

    Trip: Trolling + Snorkel or Sunset Cruise

  • ★★★★★
    The trip itself with my guides was more than I could have hoped for. Not only were they extremely helpful, put us on fish, and instructed well, but they even took pictures for us, gave us a history of the Tulum Ruins and gave us a little snorkeling adventure with stingrays and sea turtles. This entire part was a 5/5 stars. The disappointing part 1/5 stars was the whole reason I booked through Capt. Experiences. According to the booking through this website the total trip was supposed to be $650. I paid "$97" through the website for a deposit. That came out to $130 on my credit card. When I showed up, I still had to pay the full "$650.00" in order to go on the trip, thinking that deposit was more of a holding fee like a deposit on a rental car. Nope, that was also added to the price, now I'm at $750 for this trip. The QR code that was supplied to me to pay the rest. The gentleman at the desk said he doesn't need that. I explained the deposit situation and he insisted his price was correct. Cool, way to vet the companies Capt. Experiences. Now for the Icing on the cake. When I went to the actual company webpage the same trip costs $550! So, you have guarantied that I will never use this service again and let others know of my experience of being ripped off, from a company that says they find the best which would include not getting ripped off. I get paying more as paying more, you're cost being $650, I was ok with that, even though $100 for your service was a bit steep, but hey, you guaranty the companies are vetted and only the best. That should be worth something. But, Oh wait, I still got ripped off. Never again. Total waste of time and money.

    These guys are awesome! You wont find a more professional operation in Tulum. They picked us up from our hotel, made sure we were prepped with sunscreen and everything else we needed to get out there, and had water, soda, and beer on board in pre-stocked coolers for us. Each boat had a captain and a mate who worked hard together to put us on the fish, and between the 3 boats our group took out we caught a bunch of mahi and the biggest barracuda Ive ever seen. -Attison from Captain Experiences

    Our group of four had a blast! We caught three large Mahi Mahi and the guys were nice enough to fillet them for us to take home. After fishing, we stopped for a snorkel break where we swam with sting rays and sea turtles. I recommend these guys to anyone looking for a quality, affordable fishing trip out of the heart of Tulum! I wish I had more time in Tulum to use them for other outings.
