trip description for 25' Panga - Nearshore or Offshore in Cancún

Looking for an action-packed, big game fishing trip in a beautiful vacation hot spot? (Who isn't?) This trip won't let you down! Cancún is a prime spot to capture all of the fish heading into and out of the Gulf of Mexico. With Captain Alberto, you'll be going after some big game fish on this excursion into the stunning Yucatan waters with a drink in hand. On this 4 to 8-hour trip, Captain Alberto will cruise you around the nearshore coast or venture a bit offshore where you'll be targeting exciting fish such as Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Grouper, Snapper, Jack Crevalle and more. You can go after these fish with various methods, and this boat is equipped to do bottom fishing, heavy tackle, jigging, light tackle and trolling. Whether you want to lounge until a reel starts screaming or hold a rod and feel the bites, Captain Alberto will make sure you get a fish no matter your experience level. You’ll spend the day on board Captain Alberto's 25’ Panga with capacity for 4 anglers. Powered by a 100 HP 4 stroke Suzuki engine, this vessel is equipped with a Stereo System, GPS, and Avet Reels. Coupled with fish finder and Captain Alberto’s expert knowledge of the area, you are sure to be on top of the fish all day long. If you feel like doing some snorkeling, just let Captain Albert know before the trip and he'll make sure the proper equipment is on board. The waters here, especially by Isla Mujeres, are crystal clear and a perfect place to go snorkeling. If spearfishing is more your scene, then that is totally cool too – you are welcome to bring along your own equipment. Let the captain know beforehand and he will take you to the best fisheries for this! Captain Alberto takes all the worry out of planning a fishing charter. He will provide all rods, reels, tackle, live bait, bottled water, sodas, and even a 6-pack of beer. Top of the line gear from Penn, Avet & Shimano will make sure you have the best chance to reel in your trophy fish. All you need to bring is a Cancun fishing license. We recommend also bringing a hat, sunscreen, and polarized sunglasses. After the trip Captain Alberto will even fillet any keepers – all you need to worry about is how to cook your delicious haul!

    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.

    Captain Bentley and Patrick were awesome. They made the experience memorable, and we plan to make this a tradition. Great boat and great crew!!

    Josnel F. with Bentley J. of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Matt and his deckhand, Steve were very competent and professional. We had 8 lines out trolling for most of the 14 hour day. Steve even continued on with a good laceration on his hand from the first wahoo we caught. We landed two wahoos and didn’t get many more bites even though they had us constantly trolling with many lines in the water. Matt is a good fisherman and I’ve been out with many over the years. We would definitely recommend them as a competent pelagic fishing operation.

    Charles M. with Matthew C. of Destin, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain James was awesome. Very knowledgeable and took us out to several different locations to help us try to find the best spots. I would highly recommend Captain Experiences for deep sea fishing.

    It’s was good but got rained out. Didn’t get to fish much at all. Can’t really put a star rating on trip because of weather but I really like our captain
