About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Danny and his crew to experience the incredible fishing that Playa del Carmen is famous for. With years of experience in these turquoise waters, Danny knows the best reefs, wrecks, and offshore spots to put you on world-class fish. Whether you’re looking for a quick half-day trip or a full-day adventure, he’ll tailor the day to your goals—whether that’s chasing trophy billfish or bringing home fresh fillets for dinner.

Depending on the season, you could hook into Amberjack, Barracuda, Bonito, Almaco Jack, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Sailfish, or even a Blue or White Marlin. Closer to the bottom, Red Grouper, Yelloweye Snapper, and Triggerfish are all on the menu. Tactics vary from trolling and jigging to bottom fishing with bait, with Danny and his First Mate adjusting throughout the day to keep rods bending.

You’ll fish from a 25’ Yamaha panga outfitted with outriggers, downriggers, GPS, and fishfinder, with room for up to six guests. It’s a smooth, comfortable ride that gets you to the action quickly—here, deep water starts just minutes from the shoreline. The boat comes stocked with quality rods and reels, lures, bait, a Yeti cooler full of cold beer and water, and even a Bose sound system to keep the vibes going. Snorkeling gear is also on board if you’d like to mix in some time in the water.

A First Mate joins every trip to help with rigging, gaffing, and fish handling. Tips are never expected but always appreciated, as they make up an important part of the crew’s compensation. At the end of the day, your catch will be cleaned and filleted, and Danny can recommend local restaurants that will prepare your fresh fish for the perfect end to your adventure.

Families with kids are welcome, and no fishing license is required—it’s already included. Just bring your sunscreen, sunglasses, and favorite snacks if you’d like extra food on the water.

Whether you choose a half-day, ¾-day, or full-day trip, fishing with Captain Danny in Playa del Carmen is all about adventure, variety, and fun. From hard-fighting Amberjack to lightning-fast Sailfish, there’s no telling what you’ll reel in next
